BRITAIN-NIRELAND-IRELAND-HISTORY

Cars drive around the Peace Line, separating Catholics and Protestants in west Belfast, Nortern Ireland on May 3, 2021. - Northern Ireland marks its 100th year on Monday, but faltering efforts to commemorate the centenary encapsulate the rift at the heart of the British province. Northern Ireland was created on May 3, 1921 when the island of Ireland was split in two following the Irish war for independence. Northern Ireland had a powerful Protestant pro-UK majority but a large demographic of pro-Ireland Catholics seeking shared destiny with a new free Irish state, which eventually became a full republic.
