Different Beliefs of the Nationalists and Loyalists
There are many reasons why Nationalists and Loyalist are unable to
live in the same state. Most of these reasons are based on their two
different beliefs, religious and other.
The majority of Nationalists are Catholic and believe that Ireland
should have an all-Irish republic. Their plans are to create an all
Ireland nation and break the relations Ireland have with the United
Kingdom. Groups within Ireland such as the IRA support these views and
want six countries to make up Northern Ireland. Sinn Fein (an Irish
Republican Party) who also support these views claim they seek the
establishment of a new Ireland based on sustainable social and
economic development; genuine democracy, participation, equality and
justice at all levels of the economy and society; and a lasting and
meaningful peace with unity of purpose and action. The beliefs of the
Loyalists however are different.
The majority of Loyalists are Protestant and they believe in keeping
the relations and links with the United Kingdom and its Government.
Although all Loyalists have the same views they have different ways of
expressing them. One way was the way of David Trimble who was a
Northern Ireland politician and became leader of the UUP (Ulster
Unionist Party). His aim was for a peace process. The other way is the
way of the UFF (Ulster Freedom Fighters), which emerged from the UDA
(Ulster Defence Association). This group have been liked to pipe
bombings and sporadic assaults on Catholics in Northern Ireland.
The love hate relationship between the Irish and the British began in
1172 when the king, Henry II, became Ireland's overlord. Rivalry
developed between Irelands five main kingdoms, Connaught, Ulster,
Meath, Leinster and Munster over who should have the title of High
King. The
Earl of Pembroke became involved by helping the King of Leinster. Then
in 1170 the Earl of Pembroke conquered Ireland, which made his over
lord Henry II jealous. This is when the first problems arose between
Ireland and England.
“Ireland must be governed in the English interest” as Document 1 states. The Irish and English relationship is one of ethnic superiority over the other and geographical divide. The English feel like it is their duty to make the Irish people like themselves and they believe that their religion is the crux of what makes them inferior and the Irish just want to be left alone. The geographical divide between the nations is the mainly protestant, Ulster, and the Catholic rest of the island as Document 9 suggests. This has caused many disputes because of the fact that Irish Nationalists want the whole island unified.
The Federalists and Anti-federalists shared the common beliefs of John Locke’s Enlightenment ideals such as all men were born equal (even though most of these men owned slaves), but their opinions about the role of government were different. Both parties had their own visions of how a new government would function and how the Constitution would support the government being proposed. Many argued that the Articles of Confederation had created a very weak government with very limited power. Specifically, the amount of power or the absence of power of a central government was the main disagreement between the Federalists and Anti-federalists. As a result, the Federalists and Anti-federalists argued about the ratification of a new constitution, which would give the central government more power.
George Washington the first president of the United States had a great duel ahead of him. Outraged citizens had a great deal of tension before his term, but when he entered into office those feelings of frustration arose. The Americans commenced to contradicting the ideas and beliefs of their counterparts, these hostile events eventually lead to the clashing of the citizens. Both sides were infuriated with one another, so they formed separate parties known as Republicans and Federalists. These clashes were instituted by Thomas Jefferson and James Madison of the Republican Party, along with Alexander Hamilton of the Federalist Party. Alexander Hamilton and The Federalists supported a strong central government, and they believed that without one an individual would have too much power possibly forming an anarchy, while the Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and
Since the Dawn of time, man was had many beliefs from the belief of gods or a god, democracy and communism. In the beginning days of our nation (United States of America) the bill of rights was being created due to American Revolution and the weakness of the articles of the confederation. The articles of confederation were the constitution at the time for the United States of America before and after the American Revolution, which we fought against the tyranny of the British government. The American government at the time realized the Articles of Confederation was weak and need to be changed. This resulted in the bill rights being drafted and added into the US Constitution. But before the bill rights
1. The three components of the American System were establishing a new protective tariff, starting a new transportation system and restoring the national bank. Henry Clay thought that each of these components would strengthen and unify the nation because he thought the American system would unite the nation’s economic resources because the south would grow food and raise animals that the north would eat and in return the south would by the manufactured goods the north made. A new transportation system would allow trade between the north and the south. Now America could finally become independent economically. And the tariff would help because during the War of 1812 British merchants brought a great deal of products to the United States and sold them at much lower prices than American made goods, so the tariff would raise the prices of the British goods so the American merchants could sell their products at a lower price.
During the Revolutionary War, there were many Patriot political groups, but were only a few that were truly significant and made a huge impact for the people in America. These included the Committees of Correspondence, Sons of Liberty, the Second Continental Congress, and the Continental Army. In the 1700s, there were no phones for the colonists in different locations to communicate with, so the Committees of Correspondence were formed in order to allow colonists to warn people when the British were coming. Many of these committees were formed by the governments of individual colonies, others by associations such as the Sons of Liberty in the various communities. The Sons of Liberty were a well-known organization of colonists who planned the Boston Tea Party. The Boston Tea Party was an effect of Parliament putting heavy taxes on tea. The Sons of Liberty formed many other groups of protesters. Also, they organized the protest against Britain for passing the Stamp Act in 1765. Another association was the Continental Army, which was created after the American Revolutionary War by the American colonies. Its purpose was to coordinate the military efforts of the Thirteen Colonies in their rebellion against Britain. After the army was formed the Second Continental Congress, which was a meeting with the delegates from the thirteen colonies. As you can see, there were many political groups during the Revolutionary War that will always remain significant in American history.
In early America, there were three factions that developed within the colonies- Loyalists, Patriots, and fence-sitters (neutral). This melting pot of different ideas, goals, and outlooks is what made pre-Revolutionary War America so volatile. These three factions seem easy to identify, Patriots wanted freedom from the crown all together, Loyalists want to stay British, and fence-sitters want to stay out of the political battle all together. However, it goes much farther than that, many different backgrounds and goals drove these people forward. Many did not take up the title of Loyalist or Patriot unless the struggles affected them directly, many more only took sides when it was profitably to them and for some it was because they had no choice in the matter.
Throughout the 20th century, the Irish-Canadian community has been foundational to the evolution of Canada's national identity, whether it was with the leadership of Baie-Comeau's Brian Mulroney, whose historical legacy includes NAFTA or the Shamrock summit, or the ineradicable impact of the music groups from Eastern Canada on the country's cultural sphere. Despite having such a mark upon the country's growth, the cohabitation between Irish and Canadian populations was also one of struggle. This paper will explore some of the pivotal historical events, between the Irish and Canadian populations, in the 19th century.
When writing the Declaration of Independence, the founding father did not acknowledge the notion where there could have been multiculturalism, verifying that when writing about equality for all, it was specifically meant for only white individuals, regardless of status and wealth. Although the Declaration of Independence appeals to life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness, it was only offered for white citizens, excluding women, Native American Indians, and African Americans. Alongside equality dispute, beliefs, interests, attitudes, and overall lifestyle choices also divided the nation. In the race to achieve pursuit of happiness, it had led to a dispersed nation, where all the individuals were clawing for the piece of the pie rather than working
...ehind leaders such as Wolf Tone, pledging their support in the form of the United Irishmen. Even though the 1798 Uprising would ultimately fail, this milestone in Irish history had the other citizens of Ireland that the Catholics were willing to lay aside their past differences for the betterment of their nation. This begs the question that will they continue to work together in the future. Based off the past evidence, Protestants and Catholics have little to lose in assisting each other and having Ireland progress into a nation that is one unified completely. What needs to happen though is that each side has to lay out the terms with no outside influence. There can be no ambiguous statements surrounding these terms and officials have to free of bias, as much as a person can be, to effectively write equal terms that ensure economic progress and religious tolerance.
Prior to and after WWI the world saw a rise in nationalistic sentiments. The Middle East was not immune to this new ideology. Although Arab Nationalism had a start in the Ottoman Empire, its rise among the masses did not begin until after WWI. While a total rise in Arab Nationalism became apparent on the Arabian Peninsula, a separate nationalist movement began in Palestine as a way to combat a unique and repressive situation. In Palestine the British mandate, along with British support, and the world's support for Zionist immigration into Palestine, caused a number of European Zionists to move into the country. These factors created an agitated atmosphere among Palestinians. Although there was more than one factor in creating a Palestinian-centered Arab Nationalism, the mounting Zionist immigration was among the most prevalent of forces.
The Federalists and Democratic Republicans were the first official political parties of the United States. They had different points of view on many topics and rarely agreed on issues. Before the parties were established, arguments caused ruckus’ throughout the nation while the diversity of people corrupted the states. Most people were apart of the two parties which brought individuals together. Once the parties were official, this caused our nation to become closer to a single unit.
First off, it is important to understand the political and social whereabouts of Northern Ireland from 1898 to gage the changes that have been made in policy. Before 1921, the North and South of Ireland were under British rule. When the government of Ireland Act 1920 partitioned the island of Ireland into two separate states, Northern Ireland and Southern Ireland, the North of Ireland remained under British rule while...
Nationalism has played a crucial role in world history over the past centuries. It continues to do so today. For many, nationalism is indelibly associated with some of the worst aspects of modern history, such as the destructive confidence of the Napoleon’s army and the murderous pride of Nazi Germany. Large numbers of people, descent in their hearts, have carried out unbelievable atrocities for no better reason than their nation required them to. Authoritarian and totalitarian regime have crushed dissent, eliminated opposition, and trampled on civil liberties in the name of the nation.
The Irish Republican Army was an Irish republic revolutionary military organization. It came from the Irish volunteers, which were created on November 25, 1913. The Irish volunteers started the Easter Rising in order to end the British Rule in Ireland, leading them to be titled as the Irish Republican Army in January 1919. In 1919, the Irish volunteers became confirmed by Irish Nationalists, Dail Eireann and were recognised as a legitimate army. The IRA raged Guerilla warfare against the British from 1919-1921, creating the Irish War of Independence. The IRA was active from January 1919 to March, 1922, though they are inactive now. The IRA’s main leader was IRA army council. Their headquarters were in Dublin Ireland, but they also operate out the United Kingdom, throughout Ireland, and Northern Ireland. The IRA was funded by extortion, bank robberies, and donations from their descendants. The Irish Republican Army’s main goal was to become independent from Great Britain.
