Care to explain Northern Ireland vs. Ireland?
)
June 11th, 2010
Why are Ireland and Northern Ireland separate countries? I know that Northern Ireland is part of the United Kingdom, along with England, Scotland, and Wales, but why isn’t Ireland? I don’t mean it like, “Why are Canada and the US separate countries?”, but what is the historical reasoning behind the separation of the two Irelands? Were they previously united? What is the current relationship? Is there common currency, language, etc.?
