What is the relationship between Ireland and Britain? Is this the same as the relationship between provinces in China?

180 1 Ireland was annexed by Britain, 1949 Ireland became independent, because Britain refused to return to the north at that time, and the northern part of Ireland Island belonged to Britain, which was equivalent to a province of Britain. The southern part of the island became a new country-Ireland, which is an independent country. Since Ireland's independence, Northern Ireland's longing for independence has never stopped, from 65438+. Of course, it is undeniable that during the British rule in Northern Ireland, there were long-term and sustained immigration actions. The English Puritans were forced to migrate to Northern Ireland, and religious oppression. As well as various economic means, two-thirds of Northern Ireland are descendants of British immigrants and believe in Protestantism (advocating integration into Britain), while only one-third of Irish aborigines believe in Catholicism (advocating integration into Ireland). Therefore, it is generally recognized internationally that Northern Ireland belongs to Britain. However, ethnic, religious and colonial oppression remains a huge obstacle to peace in Northern Ireland.

Answer your supplementary question: First of all, you should know the history of Britain. Simply put, Britain is not a country in history, but has several independent kingdoms: England. Scotland and Wales are independent of the princes appointed by the Pope (and self-styled), but they are related to each other through marriage. Due to the tradition in England (kings can be inherited by blood relatives), one king can inherit another kingdom and finally form a kingdom (nominally independent, just a king). Among them, Wales merged with England in16th century, and in17th century, King James VI of Scotland succeeded to the throne of England at the same time, becoming the main federation of James I, Scotland and England. It was not until the18th century that Queen Anne promulgated a joint bill to merge the parliaments of Scotland and England, and Scotland and England gave up their independent status and became a unified kingdom of Great Britain. From the later19th century to the 20th century, (see above) Northern Ireland was incorporated into Britain. At this point, there are the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and the king of England is the king of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. But Britain is a federal country, and each principality has a certain degree of autonomy in internal legislation and administration. To this day, there is still a nominal prince in Wales (the legal system of the prince is written into the British royal succession law). So we can't simply compare with China, because the historical evolution is different and incomparable. If we really want to compare it with the Western Zhou Dynasty (not the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period), it is the master of the world, but the vassal state has no military, diplomatic and macroeconomic aspects. Financial and other rights.
