Peer Assessment Question and Expert Answer

Question Why has it been so hard to achieve peace in Ireland?

Expert Teacher Answer

Ireland's troubles have been inextricably linked with the policy of successive British governments who have viewed Ireland as strategically important for Britain's defence. In the 17th and 18th centuries British settlers - Protestant in religion- settled in Northern Ireland driving the native Irish from their homes and into poverty. Cromwell's armies also massacred many innocent civilians at Drogheda in 1649- causing more deep seated anger towards the British. In the 19th century British landlords drove tenants from their farms, and their cruel acts, coupled with the natural potato famine of the 1840s began to make some Irish nationalists desire some element of Home Rule- that is control by an Irish rather than an English government. The Prime Minster Gladstone tried to help the Irish cause but each time his plans were knocked back, the Irish nationalists became more volatile. As the 20th century began, the IRB had been formed and some wanted to take home rule by force from the British. During 1916 when WW1 was being force Irish

Nationalists under Collins seized their chance and seized Dublin in the Easter Rising. However they were crushed by the British army. The period between 1918 and 1922 saw the creation of a divided Ireland with self government for the South but the North continued to be under British control. This did not please all and a bitter civil war was fought between those who accepted partition and those who wanted a full Ireland. Over the next 40 years the Catholics in the North were discriminated against by Protestants and in teh 60s they began to go on Civil Rights

marches. These often ended in violence as in 1972 when army officers shot dead 13 civilians who were unarmed. This incident saw an escalation in support for the IRA and more violence forcing Britain to once more take control of Ireland. THe IRA continued a bombing campaign throughout the 80s and other measures included hunger strikes in prisons for those nationalists who were said to be mistreated. The turning point came in 1987 with the bombing of 11 innocent civilians by the IRA at Enniskillen. The IRA apologised, but it made the British government more resolved for peace. Several initiatives have been tried - including the Good Ffriday agreement of 1998. This has proved to be tricky to implement but all sides are working to further peace.
