Ireland is an island nation on the westernmost edge of Europe. It is the continent's second largest island (after Great Britain). The Republic of Ireland occupies 80 percent of this landmass, while a large chunk of land in the north is part of the United Kingdom.

Ireland is known for its wide expanses of lush, green fields. In fact, its nickname is the Emerald Isle. But there are also large areas of rugged, rocky landscape. About 15,000 years ago, Ireland was completely covered by thick glaciers. The movement of these giant sheets of ice stripped the soil, leaving huge tracts of flat, limestone pavement.

The midlands and west coast of Ireland are dotted with damp peat bogs, the soggy remains of dried-up ancient lakes left by the glaciers. Ireland's highlands rise mainly in the southwest, often ending at sheer cliffs that plunge thousands of feet into the Atlantic Ocean.

Music also plays an important role in Irish society to this day. Did you know that Ireland took first place seven times in the Eurovision Song Contest by 2014? Some famous bands also come from the small country, for example U2, The Cranberries, The Corrs, Westlife, Jedward, Boyzone - and a member of OneDirection.

Tourists in Ireland also like to listen to traditional Irish music called Irish folk. There are often spontaneous concerts in pubs, i.e. in the pub. Common instruments are violin, flute, bodhrán (a small drum) and vocals. Other typical Celtic instruments are also the harp, which is also a national symbol, bagpipes and accordion.

space

Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland are located on the same piece of land, an island known as the Island of Ireland.

The Republic of Ireland occupies the largest area of this island, which is almost five times larger than Northern Ireland.

Northern Ireland has an area of 5,400 square miles, while the Republic of Ireland has an estimated area of 27,000 square miles.

Currency and the economy

In Northern Ireland the pound sterling is used as the official currency, but in the Republic of Ireland the base currency is the euro.

Economically, there is not much difference between them, however, the Republic depends on its oil reserves, while Northern Ireland depends more on the service industry.

international recognition

In terms of international recognition, the Republic of Ireland is recognized as a sovereign state, and it has an active role in global politics, especially European.

Its northern neighbor does not enjoy full international recognition, and it does not have significant international relations, as it is a country that is part of the Kingdom, and is closely subordinate to the Kingdom in its policies.

Tourist sites

In terms of tourism, Northern Ireland is superior to the Republic, as it includes many of the main tourist sites in the United Kingdom, especially historical sites, such as castles, churches and other historical buildings.

In addition, it is home to a variety of natural scenes such as valleys, mountains and small villages.

Im Jahre 1926 wurde der Refrain offiziell als irische Nationalhymne für die Grüne Insel anerkannt.

Ein Teil der Nationalhymne (die ersten vier und die letzten fünf Takte) dient als Salut für den Präsidenten. Übrigens gilt als Nationalhymne tatsächlich nur der Refrain, nicht alle Strophen des Liedes. In Irland wird meisten nur die irische Version gesungen.

Songtext des "The Soldier's " Song

We'll sing a song, a soldiers song, With cheering rousing chorus, As round our blazing fires we throng, The starry heavens o'er us, Impatient for the coming fight, And as we wait the morning's light, Here in the silence of the night, We'll chant a soldier's song.

Chorus

Soldiers are we whose lives are pledged to Ireland; Some have come from a land beyond the wave. Sworn to be free, No more our ancient sire land Shall shelter the despot or the slave. Tonight we man the gap of danger In Erin's cause, come woe or weal "Mid cannons" roar and rifles peal, We'll chant a soldier's song.

In valley green, on towering crag, Our fathers fought before us, And conquered 'neath the same old flag That's proudly floating o'er us. We're children of a fighting race, That never yet has known disgrace, And as we march, the foe to face, We'll chant a soldier's song.

Chorus

Sons of the Gael! Men of the Pale! The long watched day is breaking; The serried ranks of Inisfail Shall set the Tyrant quaking. Our camp fires now are burning low; See in the east a silv'ry glow, Out yonder waits the Saxon foe, So chant a soldier's song.

Deutsche Übersetzung (der englischen Version)

Wir singen ein Lied, ein Soldatenlied In jubelndem, feurigem Chor Während wir uns um die lodernden Feuer scharen, Den sternenklaren Himmel über uns; Ungeduldig harrend des kommenden Kampfs, Und während wir das Morgenlicht erwarten, Werden wir hier in der Stille der Nacht Ein Soldatenlied singen.

Der Refrain: Wir sind Soldaten Deren Leben Irland geweiht ist; Einige sind aus einem Land Jenseits der See gekommen. Der Freiheit verschworen, Soll unser altes Vaterland nie wieder Despoten oder Sklaven beherbergen. Heute Nacht besetzen wir die Schlucht der Gefahr Für Erin, komme was da wolle, Inmitten Kanonendonner und Flintenschüssen Werden wir ein Soldatenlied singen.

Im Talesgrün, auf hochragendem Gipfel, Kämpften vor uns unsere Väter, Und siegten unter derselben alten Flagge, die stolz über uns weht. Wir sind Kinder einer kämpfenden Rasse, Die bisher noch nie Schande gekannt hat, Und während wir vorrücken, Auge in Auge mit dem Feind, Werden wir ein Soldatenlied singen.

Der Refrain

Söhne der Gälen! Männer des Pale! Der langerwartete Tag bricht heran; Die dichten Reihen von Inisfail Sollen den Tyrannen das Fürchten lehren. Unsere Lagerfeuer brennen nun herunter; Seht den Silberstreif im Osten, Da draußen wartet der angelsächsische Feind, So singt denn ein Soldatenlied.

The conflict between these two groups ultimately dates back to the English conquest of Ireland, so it existed long before Northern Ireland was formed after the Irish War of Independence in 1921, and dominated Northern Ireland and British politics from 1969 to 1998.

In 1920 the fourth Home Rule Bill (Government of Ireland Act) was passed by the British Parliament, making the 26 southern counties Southern Ireland and the 6 northern counties Northern Ireland, both of which would become self-governing parts of the United Kingdom.

Almost 100 years ago, among other things, the assassination attempts by the newly founded Irish Republican Army (IRA) led to London releasing the Irish to independence. But the price of freedom was the division of the island, with some counties remaining in the UK as Northern Ireland.

The burning of Cork by British forces took place on the night of 11–12 December 1920, during the Irish war of Independence . It followed an Irish Republican Army (IRA) ambush of a British Auxiliaries patrol in the city, which wounded twelve Auxiliaries, one fatally. In retaliation, the Auxiliaries, Black and Tans and British soldiers burned homes near the ambush site, before looting and burning numerous buildings in the centre of Cork, Ireland's third biggest city. Many civilians reported being beaten, shot at, and robbed by British forces. Firefighters testified that British forces hindered their attempts to tackle the blazes by intimidation, cutting their hoses and shooting at them. Two unarmed IRA volunteers were also shot dead at their home in the north of the city.

the Troubles, also called Northern Ireland conflict, violent sectarian conflict from about 1968 to 1998 in Northern Ireland between the Protestant unionists (loyalists), who desired the province to remain part of the United Kingdom, and the Roman Catholic nationalists (republicans), who wanted Northern Ireland to become part of the republic of Ireland. The other major players in the conflict were the British army, Royal Ulster Constabulary (RUC), and Ulster Defence Regiment, and their avowed purpose was to play a peacekeeping role, most prominently between the nationalist Irish Republican Army (IRA), which viewed the conflict as a guerrilla war for national independence, and the unionist paramilitary forces, which characterized the IRA’s aggression as terrorism. Marked by street fighting, sensational bombings, sniper attacks, roadblocks, and internment without trial, the confrontation had the characteristics of a civil war, notwithstanding its textbook categorization as a “low-intensity conflict.” Some 3,600 people were killed and more than 30,000 more were wounded before a peaceful solution, which involved the governments of both the United Kingdom and Ireland, was effectively reached in 1998, leading to a power-sharing arrangement in the Northern Ireland Assembly at Stormont.
