First, Irish people rioted against British rule, and eventually parted from them creating the Republic of Ireland.…

Ireland Ireland, under British rule was a very mistreated and violent country. They are better off now, without the rule of the English Crown. Ireland, before Britain came into the picture, did not have a true leader for the country. The country was not even claimed by a big civilization like Britain and Rome for over a thousand years.

I will do this by showing, through various case studies such as the Caribbean and de la Casas and the troubles in Northern Ireland. I will also use the Holocaust as a case because even though it may not have been religiously motivated, it is still grounded in the context of religion. These will help to further my view that it is the people who are violent because I will show that…
