Culture:
In British and Irish history Home Rule refers to the government of Ireland by the Irish. There was a strong political movement for this from the 1870s to 1914, when a Home Rule Bill was passed by the British parliament, but because of ↑First World War nothing was actually done about it. The ↑IRA was formed and began to use violent methods in order to get a greater degree of independence than the Bill allowed. This led to a change in the situation when in 1920 Ireland was split into Northern Ireland and the ↑Irish Free State (now the ↑Republic of Ireland). Many people in Northern Ireland are still today strongly opposed to the idea of being ruled by the government in Dublin.
