When Ireland divided into two countries which part stayed with Great Britain?

In 1922 Ireland was partitioned which created Northern Ireland and what is now the Republic Ireland. Britain and Ireland are separate islands, so no part of Ireland was with Britain, which consists of just England, Scotland and Wales. Ireland was part of the United Kingdom, which consisted at that time for Britain and Ireland, and when the Ireland was divided Northern Ireland stayed a part of the United Kingdom while the rest of Ireland became independent.


Is Ireland in Britain?

No. Ireland is a republic which gained its indenpendancy from the British in 1922. Britain, or Great Britain as it is sometimes called, is an island consisting of England, Scotland and Wales. Ireland is a separate island to the west of it. The island of Ireland is split into the Republic of Ireland (also known as Éire) and Northern Ireland.Northern Ireland is a part of the United Kingdom (or to give it its full name: United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland). This is not the same as Britain, and even the name indicates this by saying "Great Britain and Northern Ireland". It clearly indicates that they are separate. So Northern Ireland and the rest of Ireland are not part of Britain. Britain ruled all of Ireland, but Ireland was never part of Britain, being a separate island.
