K.H. Connell, in his paper “Land and Population in Ireland, 1780-1845”, describes and explains the significant population growth in Ireland prior to the famine of 1845 and how the uses of the Irish land changed with the population growth.

The EU was created in the midst of a war in attempts to unite Europe under a common government. After 43 years of rebuilding foreign affairs, have their attempts made a positive impact on the modern Europe? Many argue that the EU takes a toll on country's sovereignty. They lack in allowing countries to be apart of the union, without masking the unique culture and diversity of that country. Despite the advantages of being apart of the EU, the disadvantages highly outweigh them in the areas of economic, independence and cultural identity.

Document D is an article appearing in the local North Wales Chronicle published 27 November 1880 highlighting landlordism in Ireland. The article is recycled excerpt from Ireland’s national newspaper the Daily News, featuring the brutish landlord, Mr. Stacpoole of Ennis, County Clare and his tenants. Despite the burning land question and demand for the abolition of landlordism in Ireland, the document provides an alternative perspective partial toward landlordism through exemplifying the determination of Mr. Stacpoole to keep his land.

After analyzing the 6 sources I have chosen for this Investigation, I have come to 3 conclusions on why pirates were drawn to Singapore from the 13th to 19th century.

The turmoil of the second decade of the twentieth century gave way to a greater sense of peace and stability in the third, with a peace treaty signed between Ireland and Britain in December of 1921 and Home Rule finally established for most of the Irish isle (Ferriter, n.d.). At the same time, this new society did not lead to instant prosperity, and indeed poverty remained a major and growing problem in Ireland during this decade (Ferriter, n.d.). Economic and social problems that persisted during this decade certainly could have been pushes to increased immigration.

The Mini DBQ’s helps students better understand the world around them and make decisions. The Mini DBQ’s is a collection of multiple sources in one large packet for a student to gather evidence in support of a main idea. This allows the student to form their own ideas while focusing them on one main idea. The first DBQ focused on relating the Preamble of the Constitution and the National Budget. It asked students to study the Preamble and see if America is spending their money correctly. This analysis makes students truly understand what the Preamble means in the current world. It also allowed students to study the current budget and to discover if it is truly how they believe the money should be spent. This study of the Preamble and the

By the late 1960’s economic recession on the mainland was affecting N. Ireland badly. Unemployment rose dramatically and the slum clearance stopped. By 1967 the ‘Northern Ireland Civil Rights Association’ (NICRA) was formed in the midst of growing discontent. Amongst other things they made the

The English were making the Irish poor to force them into the protestant church. Under the Penal Laws the Irish Catholics were deprived them of any right to be represented in local government, to vote, or to even own land. Under these harsh conditions it is no wonder woman and children of the time bumbled around town just to find some way to survive as a catholic while protestantism is being shoved down one 's thought.

On the other hand, it was nationalist leader Parnell who ‘brought about the whole issue of Home Rule to the forefront of British politics’ and laid the foundations for a change in British-Irish relations. Parnell’s astute ability to manipulate the Irish public allowed him to unite the various shades of Irish nationalism together and unite them under one movement; the New Departure. This united movement posed a direct threat and ‘allowed him to exert extreme pressure on the British government’. By 1879 Parnell had become president of the Land League and had forged and maintained crucial relations with America. The American-Irish relations were heavily responsible for funding the Land League, which was crucial to Parnell’s persuading of Gladstone to pass the Land Acts of 1881 which granted the 3Fs, fair rent, free sale and fixity of tenure. The formation of Parnell’s ‘disciplined, pledge bound party’ ensured the issues of Ireland would be present in British politics; as no british government was singularly strong enough to govern without the support of the Irish with the IPP increasing their number of MPs from 63 to 85. Tweedie even goes as far to suggest the results of the general election clinched

When discussing the colonial rule of the British Empire, many people leave out one that is of great historical importance, the Kingdom of Ireland. In Kevin Kenny’s History of Ireland and the British Empire, the author and editor looks to answer the question about the role of Ireland within the Empire. Through a compilation of different writings on the subject, Kenny compares the idea of whether Ireland in fact was a colony of Britain and what that distinction means for the country. This publication attempts to show an intermediary between the rigid idea of Ireland having to be either a colony or an active member of the British Empire. This is replaced with a discussion about the possibility of Ireland being a median of the two notions.

The first chapter of the book incorporates a focus on the ideology behind the Irish improvement in the seventeenth century as well as the

The Irish worked on land that was owned by British landowners. The Irish peasants produced large quantities of wheat for the factories in England. Even though the Irish were being evicted from their homes by the landholders, and even though they were starving, the British government was inconsiderate and careless of the problems and the situation that the Irish was in. The Irish were dying from famine and starvation. On page two, paragraph one of “Condition of Ireland, Illustrations of the New Poor Law,” it says, “The ruin is great and complete. The blow that effected the character of the last and best friend of the peasantry, and it has struck them to the heart. They are porstrate and helpless. The once frolicsome people –even the saucy beggars– have disappeared, and given place to wan and haggard objects, who are so resigned to their doom, they they no longer expect relief. One beholds only shrunken frames scarcely covered with flesh –crawling skeletons, who appear to have risen from the graves, and ready to return frightened to that abode.” Which explains the suffrage of the Irish people, the suffrage that the British didn’t care

In the beginning only ten percent of protestant own land in Ireland, but with this new laws by the end of 1778 they have owned about ninety percent of land. One thing a catholic person could do to not lose his land was to convert to Protestantism.

Ireland under the British rule was subject to the harsh treatment of the English government. The liberals, “Whigs,” in office were of the mindset that it was not the governments place to intervene (The Great Famine, 2012).

For about 150 years Ireland and neighboring countries have struggled with social controversy and segregation that has consumed society and its views, which have been labeled as the “Troubles”. Ireland has struggled to become peaceful and accept the ties it has to the United Kingdom. In every country there is hate, wars, and events that cause the population to raise up arms and try to get their points across, but in Ireland it has lasted a very long time due to Nationalists versus the government, Catholics versus Protestants, Loyalists versus Unionists, and many other radicals that believed in something greater than what Ireland was during certain time periods. Britain played a big role in Irish
