Irish history

Irish history is a story of rich culture, struggle, and resilience. Ireland, settled by Celts, was invaded by Vikings and later dominated by the Normans. It became part of the UK in the 19th century, leading to demands for independence. After a long struggle, the Republic of Ireland declared independence in 1922, though Northern Ireland remains part of the UK. The island experienced significant social and political change, including conflicts and peace efforts. Throughout, Ireland’s cultural identity, language, and traditions have remained vital, shaping a nation known for its resilience, music, literature, and vibrant heritage.
