Ireland (Irish: ire) is located on the north-west coast of Europe, about 5/6 in the south of the island. The remaining 1/6 in the north-east belongs to the United Kingdom, known as Northern Ireland. The Irish, who originated from the ancient Celtic nation, advocated freedom, and were conquered by the Germanic English for more than 800 years, and also fought for freedom, and finally succeeded in independence in 1922. Ireland and Britain are not of the same origin.
