@TrainspottingWelsh - Yep arya loads of kids because that’s catholic’s for you, carving up the land more for every generation to have a plot and over farming it. Just wouldn’t listen to the educated English that wanted to teach them.
I'm coming in late to this thread and haven't read it all yet so apologies if I'm repeating, but I do find the misinformation taught in England fascinating. My daughter met an English girl this summer and the conversation turned to the famine, as it does 
. My daughter was completely indignant that the only mention of the famine the English girl had heard in history was that is was caused by poor farming techniques. That girl has since been educated

The land was carved up because Britain introduced the penal laws that required Catholics, when they died, to subdivide land between all legitimate and illegitimate sons.
We could always blame Carson et al, the british army who mutinied in the Curragh, all of which paved the way to partition. We can blame Michael Collins for agreeing to partition. We can blame the unionists for treatment of nationalists, we can blame the British government for collaborating in that. We can blame the RUC, the B specials, the paras, the british army at large, politicians such as Paisley who may not have personally touched a bullet or a bomb but was mortally responsible due to his hate speech, we can blame the paramilitaries, loyalist and nationalist.
Plenty of blame to go around, but ultimately, if Britain had never invaded, we would not have had the troubles.
