爱尔兰分离主义探源

A Probe to the Origin of Irish Separatism

英国与爱尔兰的关系是从中世纪直到现今为止最复杂、最棘手的问题。其矛盾可追溯到种族、宗教、政治经济等多个方面。天主教、英国国教和新教虽都属基督教,但相互之间分歧不小;英格兰征服爱尔兰及对其大片土地的没收,造成英国外在地主与爱尔兰佃农的尖锐冲突。美国、法国共和主义的胜利和影响,激发了爱尔兰人两个世纪多的反英斗争。而北爱问题则主要由于苏格兰移民的进入以及近代工业的发展。

Relations between Ireland and UK from very early times down to today form a very cheerless page in European history.Separatism may moderately describes them.The origin of it can trace back to Catholic religious difference with England, the English conquest and confiscation of Irish land, Irish people' long struggle etc.But why northern Ireland is still within UK is that the Protestant religion and development of economy have close common characters and ties with England.
