Part of Ireland was conquered by Britain. How did Norman and English people live?

Part of Ireland was conquered by Britain, and Normans and English people lived in various parts of Ireland. The imperialist movement in Great Britain lacks the authority and unity of Germany. It is neither the product of three United nor different British nations, which is not in line with their character. Queen Victoria, the ruler of the British Empire, and her successors Edward VII and George V, regardless of gender, manners, temperament and tradition, all hoped to stay away from the coexistence of "shining armor", "iron fist" and "sword" in Hornsolon Dynasty.

To their credit, they never openly interfere with the public's ideas. This imperialist movement with "British" characteristics was hostile to many writers in England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales from the beginning. They refused to recognize the nationality of this new "Britain", let alone accept "Angles"? Saxon is superman's theory. Many large enterprises in Britain, especially those engaged in maritime industry, are reasonably skeptical about the financial advice of the new imperialists and their related new adventurers engaged in finance or commerce, because their development is based on free trade.

On the other hand, this concept spread rapidly among military groups, Indian officialdom and similar classes. Until this time, in Britain, why soldiers exist still needs to be defended. Obviously, soldiers are very unpopular in this land. There happened to be a movement to make soldiers as prominent as Prussian armed brothers. At this time, in order to cater to the new reader class created by primary education, some low-level and popular newspapers and periodicals that have just started strongly support the propaganda of imperialist ideas, which are simple, distinctive and simple, and can better meet the needs of readers who are reluctant to think.

Although British imperialism has such support and powerful charm in national vanity, it still has not completely penetrated into the vast British people. The British are not easy to be disciplined ideologically. Ordinary people, especially those organized laborers, often treat old Tories, the military class, village priests, concert halls, assimilated foreigners, nouveau riche and new big employers with suspicion. They quarrel over imperialism and high tariffs and are characterized by compulsive fanaticism.

If Majuba foiled and connived at Britain's unnecessary and costly conquest of the Boer Republic of South Africa, making it a constant and annoying pain, then the reaction of this excessive adventure made the Liberal Party regain power and move towards a reasonable and just road, and finally ended the worst impact of this disaster by establishing the South African Federation.

The British Empire has indeed made considerable efforts in mass education, public interest and policy making, so that wealth can be returned from a few people to ordinary people. In this era of armed peace, the three nations to which Britain belongs, according to the principle of fairness and reasonableness, have made the long-standing misunderstanding between them and Ireland disappear and reached the intention of reconciliation. However, just at the critical moment when this cause was about to succeed, World War I broke out.

In this historical outline, my description of Ireland is almost the same as that of Japan, with little ink. The reason is basically the same, because they are all island countries far from the mainland. On the stage of this great human drama, they accepted many gifts, but they got nothing in return. Its residents are very mixed, and the basis is mainly dark "Mediterranean" descent, former Nordic and former Aryans, just like Basques, Portuguese and South Italians. On this initial basis, in the 6th century A.D., Celts poured in here in large numbers. We don't know how serious it is, but what is certain is that their power to establish Celtic (Irish Gaelic) is enough.

Invasion and anti-invasion between Ireland, Sucland, Wales and England, Celts or nations assimilated by Celts, come one after another. Christianity enlightened the island in the 15th century. Later, people living in northern Europe invaded the east coast of the island and settled here, but we don't know how much the characteristics of northern Europeans have changed.

The time when the British entered Ireland was 1 169, during and after the reign of Henry II. Teutonic and Celtic should have equal or higher status in the origin of modern Ireland. At that time, Ireland was just a savage and backward tribe with only a few settlement centers, and its long-standing national artistic tendency could only be seen in their metal products and illustrations in holy books. In the 20th century, part of Ireland was conquered by the British king, and some Normans and English people could live anywhere in Ireland at will.

In terms of temperament, English and Irish people have obvious differences from the beginning, and this difference has deepened in different languages, especially after the Protestant Reform. Protestants are mostly British, while the persecuted Catholic church is surrounded by Irish.

In Ireland under British rule, the conflicts between the two ethnic groups, from different languages to different land ownership laws to different inheritance laws, spread all over life. This intermittent civil war was doomed from the beginning. Here, we can't tell some unfortunate events such as riots and repression that happened on this small island during the reign of Elizabeth I and James I, but under the rule of James, with the confiscation of large areas of land in Ulste, more and more Presbyterian colonists settled there, and new conflicts occurred there. A Protestant identity formed by immigrants provides the basis for the permanent conflict between Irish aborigines who believe in Catholicism.

The political conflicts during the reign of Charles I, Cromwell and James II, William III and Mary Ⅱ made both sides have allies and sympathizers in Ireland. There is a famous saying in Ireland: Only unfortunate Britain can make a lucky Ireland. The civil strife in England led to the execution of Stratford, which is also a good time to kill the English in Ireland (164 1). After the end of the civil strife in England, Cromwell issued an order that no one carrying weapons could be forgiven. In retaliation for Ireland's killing of the English, Irish Catholics remembered the cruel killing.

From 1689 to 169 1, Ireland was divided by the British Civil War. Because James II got the help of Irish Catholics to deal with William III, but his followers were defeated in the battles of Boin (1690) and Oghelin (169 1), there are reasons for Ireland's division.

The two sides once signed the limerick Treaty to achieve reconciliation, but it was a reconciliation treaty that was not observed. Although the British government promised to forgive Catholics and others in the treaty, it failed to keep this promise. But this does not hinder the important position of this treaty in Ireland's long and sad memory. Although most British people don't know about this treaty, it will still hurt the Irish to mention it.

The eighteenth century is a century of bitterness. Business envy made the British impose too many trade restrictions on the Irish, which led to the decline of wool textile industry in southern and western Ireland. In this matter, Ulster Protestants and Catholics rarely enjoyed "equal" treatment, so they took the lead in the uprising. In the eighteenth century, there were more uprisings in the north than in the south, and the main purpose of the uprisings was to distribute land equally.

We hope that we can clearly express the similarities and differences between Britain and Ireland in this period within the scope of space. Ireland has a parliament representing Protestants, while the contemporary British parliament does not have so many restrictions and corruption; Expressed in English, there are quite developed civilizations and a lot of literary and scientific activities in and around Dublin, which are basically concentrated in Trinity College of Protestant University. This kind of Ireland is exactly what Swift, Goldsmith, Burke, Becker and Boyle like. Because such Ireland is essentially a part of British culture, there is nothing unique to Ireland here. At this time, both Catholicism and Irish were abandoned and persecuted.
