@@JohnDRuddyMannyMan its a really good idea, also maybe something about how the Romans never fully invaded Ireland, (although looked like they were going to colonise it at one point, possibly explaining why the Roman city of Chester was so big to prepare for the invasion). However one key point to think about with the supposed 'english' invasion of Ireland is that it wasn't anything of the kind. It was a Norman invasion, as England itself was invaded and conquered by the Normans in 1066. When the Irish invasion is going on over 90% of the country was owned by Norman French, and the English themselves were slaves in their own country. Northern England had closer ties to Ireland than the South as they were both Viking colonies.

@@hedgehog3180 No while the atrocities committed were terrible( more so on the British side, though the IRA did do things like killing soldiers who surrendered and POWs also). We definitely started the war of independence(justifiably so IMO).

Seeing the last thirty seconds, and thinking about how Brexit is going now, gives me chills...

I am so glad you made this I have a history test on Ireland war and I do not know nothing about it because I did not understand it thank you

Very well done!

Yay can’t wait for the next vid!!!!🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪

Fantastic video, really well written and illustrated. If you ever do the Glorious Revolution....well, that would be glorious.

I learnt more in this 12 minutes about this than I did in all my years in school in England....

Thanks it helps to understand 🇨🇮🇨🇮

I'm English and like most English people now we are different people to those who fought and colonised Ireland. We're sorry about the past and what happened.. or at least I am. At the same time, most people on both sides want to move forward in a democratic way. Ultimately, Ireland and the UK are similar. We both like to drink a lot, we have similar outlooks and respect freedom of speech and all that stuff, so we'll always be friends I hope. Brexit has complicated things and is one of the reasons I voted to remain. The peace in Northern Ireland is too important to risk damaging, sad to see so many British people not realising that. Peace and love to my Irish cousins and friends, we aren't enemies, regardless of what our governments did or said in the past.

Well said!

And we've come full circle with Brexit. There's still healing wounds over The Troubles and now we might see a hard border in Ireland. The short sighted thoughts of that initial vote might stir up yet another bloody moment.... but at least England will get control of the sinking ship away from the EU.... even though the UK voted around 98% of the time with EU laws passed.

The UK made the right decision. “Brexit” will be a success. It will take a while due to the current climate but we will get there. The border is a problem because the EU is making it a problem. The sooner the people in Ireland realise that the better. I believe the RoI will also leave the EU.

@@noodlyappendage6729 I keep seeing you folks say this, but how is the EU making it a problem? Lets run through the logic of Brexit real quickly. Brexit means a British exist from the European Union. This means it will leave all EU institutions, mainly the single market. I am under the impression that the main problem the British had with the EU was the single market, since it allowed the free passage of immigrants into the country. Therefore, the UK needs to disallow the free passage of goods, capital, services, and people in order to be sovereign from the EU. With all this in mind, the following must be true. 1. The UK will leave the single market, stopping the free flow of people onto the island. 2. This necessitates a border where individuals will have their papers and goods checked to see if they comply with standards. 3. With the other two points in mind, a border must be put somewhere between Ireland, an EU country, and the UK. It can't be put between North Ireland and the Republic of Ireland because the Good Friday Agreement forbids this. This leaves just one option which is to put a border between the Irish sea and the UK. This is what the UK wanted, right? A border separating the UK and EU to take back sovereignty. The EU is being perfectly reasonable when it does not want goods to flow from the UK to the Republic of Ireland without passing the standards of the single market. If they let that happen, importers could bring sub-standard goods through the UK and up into Ireland without passing any EU customs or tariffs. This is unacceptable. Also, no, Ireland has one of the highest approval ratings for the European Union at 84% of the population. In fact, Brexit has been regarded as such a disaster by other EU member nations that support for the EU has grown in most member states since 2016. Even Le Pen, the opposition leader in France, dropped her "Frexit" stance.

Job well done! - a message from an Australian of Irish (and British) descent

10:06 Not the old woman!

I was born on a Dublin street where the royal drums did beat, And those loving English feet they tramped all over us, And each and every night when me father came home tight He'd invite the neighbors outside with this chorus: Come out ye Black and Tans, come out and fight me like a man, Show your wife how you won medals down in Flanders, Tell them how the IRA made you run like hell away From the green and lovely lanes of Killashandra. Come tell us how you slew them poor Arabs two by two, Like the Zulus they had spears and bows and arrows, How you bravely faced each one with your 16-pounder gun, And you frightened them poor natives to their marrow. Come out ye Black and Tans, come out and fight me like a man, Show your wife how you won medals down in Flanders, Tell them how the IRA made you run like hell away From the green and lovely lanes of Killashandra. Come let us hear you tell how you slandered great Parnell, When you thought him well and truly persecuted, Where are the sneers and jeers that you bravely let us hear When our heroes of '16 were executed? Come out ye Black and Tans, come out and fight me like a man, Show your wife how you won medals down in Flanders, Tell them how the IRA made you run like hell away From the green and lovely lanes of Killashandra. Well the day is coming fast and the time is here at last, When each yeoman will be cut aside before us, And if there be a need, sure me kids would sing, "Godspeed, " With a verse or two of Stephen Behan's chorus: Come out ye Black and Tans, come out and fight me like a man, Show your wife how you won medals down in Flanders, Tell them how the IRA made you run like hell away From the green and lovely lanes of Killashandra!
