Ireland, Republic of

Ire land, Republic of a country that comprises approximately four fifths of Ireland; pop. 4,203,200 (est. 2009 ); capital, Dublin; languages, Irish (official ) and English. Also called Irish Republic. The Anglo-Irish Treaty by which Ireland was partitioned in 1922 gave southern Ireland dominion status as the Irish Free State. The treaty was followed by civil war between the Free State government and the republicans, led by Eamon de Valera, who rejected partition. The war ended in victory for the government in 1923. A new constitution as a sovereign state (Eire ) was adopted in 1937. Eire remained neutral during World War II; in 1949 it left the Commonwealth of Nations and became fully independent as the Republic of Ireland.

 

Oxford Dictionary

Ireland

Ire |land |ˈʌɪələnd | an island of the British Isles, lying west of Great Britain. Approximately four fifths of the area of Ireland forms the Republic of Ireland, with the remaining one fifth forming Northern Ireland. Ireland was inhabited by Celts from about the 6th century bc. English invasions began in the 12th century under Henry II, although the whole of the island was not conquered until the time of the Tudors. Revolts against English rule led to English and Scottish families being settled on confiscated land; in parts of Ulster the descendants of Protestant settlers form a majority. After an unsuccessful rebellion in 1798, union of Britain and Ireland followed in 1801. Increased prosperity was experienced in Protestant Ulster, but not in the rest of the island, and after the failure of the potato crop in the 1840s thousands died in a famine, and thousands more emigrated. In 1922 Ireland was partitioned by the Anglo-Irish Treaty. For later history see Ireland, Republic of and Northern Ireland .
