As one of the richest countries in the world, Ireland shares the same origin as Northern Ireland, and if Northern Ireland breaks away from the United Kingdom and joins Ireland, it will not only strengthen and unify the Irish nation, but also enjoy Ireland's perfect social security treatment. Taking 2017 as an example, Ireland's per capita GDP was $70,000, while the per capita GDP of the United Kingdom at that time was only $40,000, and Northern Ireland was only about $30,000, the overall gap was more than 2 times, even more than the data of East and West Germany that year.

However, reality always backfires. Even so, according to the latest BBC polls, around 43% of Northern Irish want to leave the UK, 49% of Northern Irish are willing to stay in the UK, and the remaining 8% of Northern Irish have not yet decided.

At that time, there was no distinction between Ireland and Northern Ireland, or there was no Ireland and Northern Ireland at all, because the island of Ireland at that time did not have a unified regime, but was in a state of division of many lords. In 1169, an Irish general, Diarramet, defected to The British, and the English, who were good at seeing needles, gave Diarramit command of a British army that became the first British army to invade Ireland.

Although Diarramit's behavior was disgraceful, and the lords fought back with hatred and unity, they were defeated due to their strength. Therefore, in this situation, these lords surrendered to The British.

By 1541, Henry VIII had merged the various governing jurisdictions together in order to consolidate his jurisdiction, and Ireland had changed from a geographical term to a state concept.
