The Irish Question is the phrase used for the internal dispute in Britain concerning Irish nationalism and calls for independence. This ended in the separation of an independent republic, at first known as the Irish Free State , now called Ireland , from Northern Ireland which remained part of the United Kingdom . The Irish Question is a term from the early twentieth century, and the height of the independence movement was from the Easter Rising of 1916 and the Irish Civil War in 1921 , although independence has been a political aim of Irish nationalists since the time of Wolfe Tone . Key figures include O'Connell, Peel, Parnell and Gladstone. |
