The Irish problem began in 1155 when Pope Adrian IV gave permission for Henry II to invade Ireland and spread the Christian faith. The British, gradually over the next century, tool over the Irish land and people. They however did not have the numbers to completely overrun the country. In 1541 Henry VIII was recognised as the King of Ireland by the Irish Government. .
This, for the Irish people, was a loss of authority and this started a chain reaction of events that resulted in Ireland's loss of Liberty, Authority, Nationhood and Statehood. .
The Irish people wanted separation from England and wanted to have their own republic. They tried to achieve this via many revolutions both violent and non-violent negotiations.
Over the years between 1912-1798 many groups tried to solve the Irish problem. Every generation however there was a change in style decided to solve this problem. Generally the groups tended to go from violent to non-violent, diplomatic ways to solve it. This change in ways of dealing with problems was most likely handed down from previous generations. For example a family who had been involved in a violent uprising would preach the violent ideals to their children more so that a peaceful message. Every generation has one violent and one non-violent uprising. This may be because one people have felt the destructive nature of war or at least the violence, they are more likely to accept the diplomatic approach for a solution. .
Uprisings began after the Act of Union was set up after the 1798 rebellion. The British government and the Irish parliament saw no other way to solve the Irish Problem but to join Ireland with Britain constitutionally. This made the people of Ireland quite angry, they wanted home rule of their own country. This sparked a few groups, who tried to get home rule for Ireland. One of these was "The repeal association" which wanted to repeal the Act of union in a peaceful way.
