As Northern Ireland marks the centenary of its foundation in May 1921 after the partition of Ireland, here is a timeline of how that came to happen.
Act of Union of Great Britain and Ireland
The Act of Union 1801 entered into force creating the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, governed through parliament in London.
The second half of the next century was riven by opposing forces of those wishing to maintain the union of Ireland and Great Britain and those who wanted to destroy it.
Irish nationalism was Catholic in outlook for historic reasons and two bills proposing self-government in Ireland tabled by the Liberal prime minister William Gladstone in 1886 and 1893 shook the largely Protestant unionist community north and south of the border who feared home rule would mean Rome rule.

A disturbing sight has returned to the Northern Ireland cities of Belfast and Derry, reminding mainland Brits of the three decades from 1969 when riots and bouts of terrorism marked the sectarian strife of “The Troubles.”
Almost every night since March 30, cars and coaches have been set alight, and youths directed by loyalist paramilitary godfathers-turned-gangsters have hurled petrol bombs. Close to 90 police officers have been injured.
The clashes followed a decision by Northern Ireland’s justice authorities not to prosecute 24 Sinn Fein politicians who last year attended a funeral for an IRA man, in defiance of COVID-19 restrictions. Protestants loyal to the Union with Britain complained of an egregious example of “two-tier” policing favoring Catholic nationalists, while a crackdown on drug-dealing gangs associated with the loyalist paramilitaries has heightened tensions.
