Just as the magnetic ends attracting each other, simple things have been able to attract the complex life structure of some people and complex things have been able to attract the hearts of the people who lead a simple life. How ironic this concept seems? However, this concept has been proved so many times by many people, that there is no way of denying this inevitable truth. Likewise another instance for this piece of truth is the influence which the Irish have for the British ways of living and vice verse.
The Irish were very simple in their living and this brought envy from the people of Britain as they thought of dominating the place and to use it resources for their advantages. The Irish were too trusting and they fell for the plans of the traders, thinking that they truly are willing to help in improving the Irish status. But ill - treatment and suppression were the price they paid for those goods Then the Irish could no longer stand the brutality in the British dominance and they challenged their suppressors in small groups which were immediately crushed.
Fifteenth century saw the conflicts between the British and Irish strengthen beyond limits, when Henry the eighth planned to bring Ireland under the leadership of the English government. He had initiated this idea just because the Irish opposed the English rules and dictatorship and to prevent the Island from becoming a base for future rebellions or foreign invasions of England. After conquering the entire stretch of land in 1541, Henry declared it as a full Kingdom and proclaimed himself as King of Ireland.
Many Irish men rose against this in small groups again but as they were not organized properly, they were quelled as easily as a bonfire when water is poured on it. Many Englishmen came to Ireland and settled in the most rich land stretches of the country and profited immensely by plundering everything in them. The English was so cruel that even the pubs in England and the ones they had set up in Ireland was ordered to have plaques outside which read, “No Dogs, No Irish”. They had the nerve of copying and plundering the valuable resources from Ireland during their period of reign there.
In the mid sixteenth and the early part of the seventeenth century, England’s crown governments made it possible of the people of England to migrate to Ireland and take care of the plantations there. But in 1791, there came a new era for the people of Ireland which was the introduction of the society of the united Irishmen and in 1800, they were brought under the Act of Union with the United Kingdom.
During those periods in Ireland, the English were responsible for several finest English architectural examples across the Irish lands, admired by even the Irish in spite of their hatred for Englishmen. The English are now sharing with the Irish, their own privileges in England and thereby influence the Irish even to this very day.
