Quite a bit actually. Britain itself is the artifical union of 3 different cultures. Briton, Saxon and Scottish.
UK is essentially greater England. Scotland, Ireland and Wales have all been anglicised by being in the union.
Perhaps for Scotland there was at least economic benefit in being in the Union. But now the Empire is gone many Scots don't see value in it. The failure of Scotland's colonial ventures was after all a major factor in the Act of Union.
Wales will always be reliant on England but that dosen't bar independence imo, it just means a currency and travel union between the two is essential.

Ulsterman here, it's important to note that the majority of people are irish nationalist or unionist not a loyalist or an IRA supporter, these were more of the extreme ends which did not represent the majority of people.

The English translation:
Here below is placed the body of Frederick, Duke of Schomberg, killed at the Boyne, A.D. 1690. The dean and the chapter fervently sought, again and again, that the heirs of the Duke see to the erection of a monument in memory of (their) parent. But, after asking for a long time and often, through letters, through friends, they accomplished nothing; finally they set up this stone; so that at least, visitor, you might know where in the world the ashes of Schomberg are concealed. The fame of his valor had more influence among strangers than the relationships of blood did among his own (family). A.D. 1731

You can't make this shit up
Robert Munro was a renowned Scottish general who had been Gustavus Adolphus' right hand man in the Thirty Years War and was renowned throughout Europe, and yet somehow made tactical errors more glaring than that of a typical Total War player.
His opponent, Owen Roe O'Neill, had a reputation for avoiding pitched battles. So Munro decided to amass the largest force he could, his strategy being that if his army was big enough then O'Neill would never attack him.
He marched his men 15 miles
Without rest
To intercept an Irish force that he'd heard had been gathering at Benburb. Most of them were on the verge of collapse before the battle even started.
He, for some reason, let the Irish assume a position on a hilltop.
Then he crossed a river to attack them, further exhausting his men and making it harder to retreat.
Then, after wasting all his cannons' ammunition, his Ulster-Scots cavalry ran head-on into an Irish pike formation, where they were slaughtered.
Then he kept directing the two halves of his infantry backwards toward the river until they smashed into each other and in the ensuing confusion the entire first rank of both halves was completely annihilated by an Irish musket volley.
What was left of Munro's cavalry, who were largely inexperienced Ulster-Scots farmers, broke into a retreat, he himself followed, and left his infantry, who were mostly English veterans, to be cut to pieces by the Irish charge.
The defeat was so devastating it ended Munro's long and storied military career. He came out of hiding to support the Royalists in the English civil war and held out in Carrickfergus. He surrendered to George Monck without a fight, got locked in the Tower of London for five years, and then married a geriatric widow so he could live in her cottage, effectively cucking himself.

Name a Catholic country in the world that's as cucked as the likes of Germany or Sweden or England. Catholicism genuinely saved countries from degeneracy. Look at Ireland.

As a Catholic in a republican area in what I guess would be the "young generation" you're referring to, you're talking shit. There's certainly a lot more than are okay with things as they are, but they certainly can't be pegged as pro-union. More just pro-NotAnotherRoundOfTheTroubles.

The article's labeling all Protestant schoolboys based on only the performance of the poor.
>A “colossal” attainment gap shows better off 76% of Catholic girls getting five or more GCSEs, but only 19.7% of poorer Protestant boys achieving the same.
Why the fuck would you compare rich Catholic girls to underprivileged Protestant boys? Don't see any mention of poor catholic boys.

Serious question here guys, where do I start with learning about the troubles?
Mid-20s, lifelong Londoner, literally never even met anyone from Ireland until I was about 21, let alone know enough about the troubles to form an opinion of my own. All I knew about was the IRA bombings in 80s and that England fans always sing fuck the IRA at matches...
Advice/opinions from both sides welcome

You've got to realise you'll never ever get any unbiased information about The Troubles. With that in mind, your best course of action is to get your hands on some school history textbooks.
You can get a brief overviews from the likes of http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/troubles and the links down the right hand side. Then just have a nosy at the key moments like Bloody Sunday, Falls Curfew, Battle of the Bogside and so on.
>>69904001
Agreed. SF don't represent Irish Nationalists but everyone feels they have to vote for them just to stop the Unionists from "taking over".
I sympathize with anyone trying to break from England.
English people are authoritarian cunts. It's why they meshed so well with the Soviet Union (Orwell couldn't get his book published due to the nation's pro-Soviet tendencies) and later with Turkey.

For God? What have loyalists ever done for God?
>>69904121
all those events you listed are in Belfast, the IRA did far more outside Belfast, and the best IRA units operated outside of Belfast.
All I know is the Ulster Loyalists are generally more retarded than the Irish. Many of them think they were in Ireland first, think St patrick was a protestant and the Irish stole the land from them, they also use the red hand of Ulster which is one of the most ancient Celtic Irish signs used by the O'Neil dynasty in their wars against the crown. They aren't a very smart people. Britain would be better off without them, and so would the ROI.
>>69903811
Any history of Ireland will give you the details, but nothing is free from ideology.
Even the question of "when did the NI/ROI split occur?" is one loaded with implications. Unionists will point to Dail Riada and their long association with Scotland, Nationalists will point to the plantations and orange order. Unionist would again rebuke that most NI prods are not from the plantations any more than most americans are from the mayflower. And so on and so on.
Both all three sides (and there were three, loyalists, british, and nationalists) believe the dindo nuffin.
>>69897461
Would you support it if there was a legitimate economic benefit to be had, or would you go all Muh queen and shit?

They believe that Catholics worship the Pope and Mary instead of Christ. They're not too bright.
>>69904401
Bloody Sunday and Battle of the Bogside are both in Derry, you thick twat. Stop obsessing over your South Armagh ra unit. It's blinding you and making you look a retard.
>>69902641
33.2% is still fucking dire. Catholics also have their Irish GCSE. If there was an Orange Studies or Ulster Scots GCSE, I'm sure they'd be similar. A lot of course content is also cucked, RE especially. I failed it as I refused to entertain ideas such as banning Christian christian prayer from assembly to appease muslims.
>>69904549
the fighting in the cities wasn't real warfare
>>69904503
>they also use the red hand of Ulster which is one of the most ancient Celtic Irish signs used by the O'Neil dynasty in their wars against the crown
Queen Elizabeth II is descended from Hugh O'Neill, and not from Elizabeth II (whose supporters he fought)
>>69904564
>33.2% is fucking dire
So what does that make 19.7% lad? Northern Ireland has the best GCSE and A-level results in the UK and is among the best primary school edcuation in the world. Barely anyone does Irish beyond second year.
>Muslims actually came up in his RE classes
How fucking underage are you? Muslims weren't even a blip on the radar when I was in secondary school.
>>69904715
What did I just tell you about your South Armagh obsession? You look like a retard. He didn't ask for the "best" fighting. He asked for history. Spastic.
>>69897954
KEK
>>69904799
It's not about South Armagh at all, it's about the fact that the fighting in the cities wasn't real warfare, there were plenty other brigades than Belfast and Derry.

Again, he asked for history. Not "da real war". You're embarrassing yourself, you LARPing faggot.

Its a fairly well known historical fact. There were massacres of protestant irish led by catholic troops. A fair number of the English and Scottish attacks on Ireland during the three kingdoms period were in self defence against Catholic armies planning to invade.

I'm a Republican and yes, they do. They don't burn them out like the Loyalists do though. They give them a knock on the door and tell them they have a week to leave or things will happen. They normally leave at that point.
One Eastern European resident of Northern Ireland, who spoke anonymously to the BBC, questioned the idea that racist violence was limited to loyalist territory.
She was the victim of a racist attack in republican territory.
"There is racism everywhere, and that includes republican areas," she says.
"In those republican areas, I think it's common knowledge that you don't necessarily go to the police if you've been attacked.
"And whenever you read in the media about punishment beatings, there's a reluctance for people to come forward. So statistically I'd say that the number of racist attacks might be similar," she adds.
>>69904564
>Thinking Irish GCSE is easy

LOL that's not what that video is on about. Shes saying the Ulster protestants where in Ireland first and the Irish Celts invaded and drove them up North. She's claiming protestants built all the ancient ruins in Ireland and the ''Irish'' are not the real Irish but the Ulster Scots are.

You're literally autistic. You've taken /pol/ memes irl.
Ulster Protestants are mostly of Scots ancestry. Afrikaaners are of Dutch.
>>69906681
Yes its widespread in Ulster Scots circles.
The theory goes that the original inhabitants of Ireland were Britons (Picts) who were driven from Ulster to Scotland by the Gaels after they invaded from Iberia. The Plantation was merely a homecoming (the hamecoming is the offical Scots term, I'm not kidding). Somewhere in the middle of that Ulster Scots came from the Hebrews too.
Its all bullshit of course. Irish and British are the same first settlers who came to the Islands about 10,000 years ago. Because Ireland and Britain were two different Islands, the common Celtic branched into British and Gaelic
>>69906583
I don't think difficulty matters, my point is that if you're studying something that's interesting then you're more likely to do well in it. Generally, the only languages available to Protestants at GCSE is French and Spanish, two languages we couldn't give two fucks about.
>>69892144
Just look at that kike star... you where i stand
>>69907801
I should also point out to those not aware. It's compulsory to study a second language at GCSE.
Neutral.
Same as any other terrorist group. There weren't enough of them to get what they wanted democratically so they sperged out and murdered civilians.
The only bit that amazes me is how readily so many Americans supported them. It's ironic that Boston directly financed IRA bombs for years then cried like babies over a couple of shitty pressure cookers.
>>69907296

That's the interesting thing about The Troubles. There's actually four sides to the story. There's the Catholic/Republican side, the Protestant/Loyalist side, the British government side and the truth. That last one, we'll likely never actually see though.
