 | | In United Kingdom law, Ireland was partitioned in 1921 under the terms of the Government of Ireland Act 1920. | | | The Ireland Act 1949 gave the first legal guarantee to the Parliament and Government that Northern Ireland would not cease to be part of the United Kingdom without consent of the majority of its citizens, and this was most recently reaffirmed by the Northern Ireland Act 1998. | | | It was created by the Government of Ireland Act, 1920. |

| | The violence extended beyond Ireland, as republican paramilitary groups—in particular the Irish Republican Army (IRA)—also struck targets in London and elsewhere in England. | | | The whole of Ireland was part of the United Kingdom until 1920, as the British government—faced with growing violent resistance—offered limited local government to Ireland. | | | The remaining 26 counties became independent in 1922 as the Irish Free State (later Eire, and subsequently the Republic of Ireland). |

| | Northern Ireland is an integral part of the United Kingdom (it has 12 representatives in the British House of Commons), but under the terms of the Government of Ireland Act in 1920, it had a semiautonomous government. | | | Northern Ireland did not separate from the South until William Gladstone presented, in 1886, his proposal for home rule in Ireland. | | | Northern Ireland, however, did not become a political entity until the six counties accepted the Home Rule Bill of 1920. |

| | The Government of Ireland Act of 1920 recognised this de facto religious division by splitting the country into two separate political units, a predominantly Catholic south and a predominantly Protestant north. | | | Most of Northern Ireland's minority Catholic population, mistrustful of the Protestant majority, would prefer to belong to a single, united Ireland. | | | As British Prime Minister Tony Blair said in a 1999 speech to the House of Commons: "I accept that this is often and has to be an imperfect process and an imperfect peace, but it is better than no process and no peace at all." |
