The Story of Ireland is a nice five episode series available online that gives a brief but comprehensive history of Ireland up to the Troubles. I would also recommend buying any Junior or Leaving Certificate history book online to learn the kind of stuff your average Irish person should know! Junior Certificate for a more broad but shallow view ...
Thomas Bartlett's Ireland: A History is the book that has been recommended to me as a comprehensive, single-volume history of Ireland. R.F. Foster's textbook that you have mentioned above is considered a brilliant exemplar of revisionist history that still stands the test of time as an overview of Irish history.
The Kingdom of Ireland. In this timeline, Prince Franz of Bavaria becomes Ardrí (King) of Ireland following the German victory in WWI. A Catholic nationalist state similar to OTL Francoist Spain is established that rules the island from 1922 until free elections are held for the first time in 1975 (although the same party rules until 1977.)
The independence Ireland gets in this timeline is motivated primarily because of their resentment towards the Labour government and even the Conservative governments, and the growing liberalism in the fifties and sixties, with religion declining etc. Northern Ireland to this day is the most religous part of the UK and is very conservative even ...
9. Reply. [deleted] • 4 yr. ago. Ireland was basically the first English colony...they sought to impose English law over all of Ireland and deemed Irish law and culture as primitive and backward....Irish law, the Brehon Code seems to been finally suppressed in the late 1600s.....beginning with the Tudors circa 1540 many Irish Chieftains began ...
This article from History Ireland talks about it in more depth. And that's in the 1100s. Plenty of Irish people actively profited off the later Atlantic slave trade, and that was part of the British Empire. I don't doubt Ireland would've been just as complicit, if not more so given our seafaring history, had it been independent.
The part that might be an issue is one of the stipulations says that in your degree you must have "specifically studied Irish history". I did 1 Irish history module (worth 5 credits if that helps) in my first year and that's really it. I did no Irish history modules in my masters degree. I did technically do another Irish history module, but ...
Scotland’s relationship to England is in no way similar to Irelands, Scotland was a completely independent country that voluntary unified with England, much of the anglicisation of Scotland was done by Scots themselves, part of the lowlands were always English speaking and it was these lowlanders who did most of the oppression and anglicisation against the Gaelic highlanders.
I did mine on The Red Army Faction (Baader-Meinhof Group), a left-wing German terrorist group in the 70's. There was a movie based on it called The Baader-Meinhof Complex and a book with the same name. I thought it was really interesting and ended up loving the project.
