The relations of Ireland and Britain before 1840’s Irish and British relations, as we all know, started when King Henry VIII took control in Ireland during the 1500s. King Henry forced his way to Ireland’s government and forced it also to declare him as the King of Ireland. As he was declared the king, he began to introduce new laws that greatly increased English control over Ireland and also introduced Protestantism, but it was to be said without any success. But after he died, English control did not perish, instead, Henry’s children Edward VI, Mary I, and Elizabeth I, continued to rule Ireland with greatly or mainly English control over it. Elizabeth I on the greater part, tried to establish Protestantism by outlawing the Catholic services and by executing Priests and Bishops. However, this only had the effect of uniting the Catholics more strongly against English rule. These following move and actions of English monarchs, lead to Irish fight over land. The first shown resistance against English rule was shown in the, Ulster Revolts, these revolts happened in the town of Ulster and these are leaded by Irish Chieftains. But
