Still ended up in the situation where a big chunk of Ireland wanted to stay with the British and became “Northern Ireland”. That still seems so strange to me, although I get how people would be derascinated like that.

But, if nothing else, proves that independence for an oppressed people is a gigantic step in the right direction. Israel’s always reasoning that it would present an “existential threat” and all this, but somehow I think keeping a population in an open air prison isn’t making them more friendly.
