What valid reasons are there for the north of Ireland being under british rule?
Padraig18
The north of Ireland has a majority of unionits who are decendents from the Scots and English from the time dating back to the plantations of Ulster. So they want to keep up the union with Britain. They see themselfs as more ''Ulster-Men'' or Brits than do they do irishmen. So that's why the north is still under british rule cause the majority up there want to be under british rule. Vaild Reason? I don't know. Make up your own mind.

Like everything about Ireland is very complicated I can think of three reasons: Religion: the people of Northern Ireland were predominately Protestant while the rest of Ireland was Catholic.

Ethnic: The Northern Irish people were predominately of Scottish and English origin. They feared being ruled by the Irish. There had already been instances of Anglo-Irish property in the south being set on fire.
