Well completely misses out that the first movement as such was Norman knights that invited over to assist one of the kings against other king. The Norman knights then started setting about establishing own area's and amassing wealth.
Fearing this then Anjevin King of England Henry II persuaded Pope Adrian (First and Last English Pope) to award Henry the title of Lord of Island making Henry in charge of Ireland and bringing the Norman knights back under Henry's control.
English Kings then using the title Lord of Ireland until Henry VIII who upon breaking from Rome could hardly use a Papal Issue to retain control over Ireland,
Thus persuading what was supposedly Irish Parliament to grant him the title King of Ireland.

Basically Ireland consisted of a lot of clans who battled constantly, abit like how the modern Irish of today like to drink and fight alot. England was occupied by people of germanic origin, this changed the mentality of the indigenous people of England completely, as you are probably aware Germans think they own the planet, hence the English started trying to take over everywhere, Ireland was the closest and easiest practice ground. The English kept the northern part to remind the Irish of their place.

Where the hell is Wales in all of this. At least I can walk around Cardiff ( our capital city ) and speak our native language viz. Welsh. We have our own TV station S4C which broadcasts in Welsh and our own Parliament the Senedd. Your map doesn-t show Wales at all. I know the Yanks are pretty dumb when it comes to geography but this is scraping the barrel. We Welsh have more going for us than our Celtic cousins, the Paddy-s and the Jocks including our own widely spoken language!

People need to forget any idea of that the Scottish are innocent and the English are the only ones to blame, there-s no way an English Empire would have conquered as much as it did and without Scotland, Great Britain would never have existed. There-s also a much longer history between the islands of GB & Ireland, English may have settled people in the north but this was after Vikings, Normans, French, Scots had already had conquests of these lands, it-s not 100% Celtic.

As a Native American, we support the IRISH!
Please do one video where the Irish influence is still relevant and important to Native Americans (U. S. /Mexico when potato famine happened and Choctaw sent money to the starving Irish even after enduring the trail of tears.
The Irish also defended Mexico against further conquest from Colonialism from the U. S!
For this reason, I wear green and help our Irish friends!

Quick summary: the English aristocracy were selfish bloody bastards.
Of course this was across the board. They were terrible to the English commoners, the Scots, the Irish, enslaved Africans, native Americans, Arabs, Indians, etc. Not that the Dutch, Spanish, or Portuguese were any better in their conquests and colonizing. And the Vikings and the Huns before them were not exactly known for their benevolence.

Thank you for sharing. It was an informative and remarkable historical coverage video about a turned point of Irish peoples ( Galic people). What a smartness and crucial method hidden behind ( agriculture plantation ) for British imperialistic vision in Ireland -- Island. imperial invaded always persuades harsh racism practices and religious prosecutions while only Nazism regime racism was notoriously evaluated

Firstly, all borders are man made.
And, you make it sound like the Northern Irish have the border imposed by Great Britain against their will when most there want it.
I personally think it would be better if the two nations and people could trust each other and unite.
But let's not pretend they are the same people. A lot of the Northern Irish are Scottish.

DONT YOU MEAN WHY WAS IRELAND COLONIZED BY THE NORMANS?
Mostly because they were theiving murdorous Bastards (still are) One of their worst crimes
is through near starvation and grinding poverty they get conqured peoples (The English and later the Irish too) to join their armies and then to opress their own and other peoples

The indigenous irish people were sold into the African slave markets by Norse invaders, The slave station were Dublin, Wexford & Cork.
Ireland was recused and freed from slavery in the 11th century by William The Conqueror.
The slavers have still not given up on enslaving the Irish,

6: 31 Tyrone. -
The irish used to have their own language before the English took over the island but I guess it's a hidden blessing since they now speak the lingua franca language. They are probably the original red-heads too, they seems to have high number of red-head girls.

It was main 1. Testing place for the expansion of the English later British Empire 2. Defence from using Ireland as a staging ground against for foreign invasion e. g by France and 3. Easy place to grow crops and export to the Kingdom of England, later Great Britain.

Once again, we skip the entire Viking colonies of Ireland, which fuel the Norman ambition, of which England is simply the inheritor. And never mind that the Ulster Irish colonised northern Britain (Scotland) at the same time the Anglo-Saxons colonised the South.

Ireland was colonised first by the Vikings, but they don't seem to upset by that. Ask why was England colonised by the Romans and Saxons and Norman's, it's the way it was this happened all over the world, get over it.

The very existence of Northern Ireland is kinda basically like Ireland's punishment for breaking away from British rule. On one hand, the Irish have their independence, but on the other hand, their island is divided.

My paternal ancestors were one of those many scottish settlers who settled in Ulster during the Ulster plantations. Anyone whose ancestors came from Scotland over to Ulster are called Ulster-Scots/Scots-Irish.

Seems a bit odd to start at the Tudors considering anglo-irish and then an anglo-norman settlement had been ongoing for a millenia and many of the barons across Ireland were of very mixed heritage.

Missed out that the majority of Ulster planters were from the Anglo-Scottish borders, already used to frontier life. They would also make up most of the Appalachian frontier in the Thirteen Colonies

400 year's and as Colonial History has taught us, everything comes full circle eventually.
A United Ireland is now inevitable, and can't be stopped just by demographics alone.

Let-s go back a bit. In the 6th century Scotland was colonised by an Irish tribe known as the Scotti hence the name Scot-Land. When they first arrived the colony was known as Dal Riata.

Did the English actually -colonize- Ireland? The Scots settled in Ulster, but where were the -English- plantations? Wouldn't the word -British- be better used?

For security reasons mainly. And because Ulster can be viewed from Scotland on a clear day (only 12 miles away at its closest point) Not too bad logistically.
