Here travelers will find amazingly beautiful landscapes, unique natural features, deep lakes and bays, interesting castles and cathedrals. From this publication you will learn all about what Republic – Ireland (sights, history and culture are described below).

History

The First settlers arrived on the island more than 6 thousand years ago. In the IV century BC this area was populated by Celtic tribes, and in the eighth century – the Vikings. In the XII century came the British. In the XVII century in the Northern parts of the island were settled English and Scottish Protestants. Over time, the majority of the population of Ireland began to make Protestants. This became possible due to the displacement of the indigenous population of the Northern areas of the island by Scottish immigrants. In 1921, the southern region of Ireland, most of the population was Catholic, had separated from the Protestant North (the Easter revolution). This site has been created independent state of Ireland.

Considering the historic past of the island, not to be confused with the concept of "Northern Ireland” and “Republic of Ireland”. The Irish Republic is an independent state. Northern Ulster, with 6 Northern counties, is under the protectorate of great Britain.
