Social Studies - World History: Ireland - Politics, History, and Culture
Question 4 of 10 • Literacy and Comprehension B (WHS)
Preview the flag and question below. Based on your readings so far on the Irish, answer the question on conflict in your opinion. The Irish flag dates back to the mid 19th Century. The green represents the Roman Catholics, the orange for Protestants, and the white represents the desire for peace between them. Why was there so much conflict between the two religions?
Answer
Answer:
There was so much conflict because religion became tied to politics, land ownership, and national identity. Many Irish Catholics resented British Protestant control, while Protestants feared losing power, so the differences were about more than belief alone.
