- Germanic and Celtic language - Irish
- Divided between Protestants and Catholics
- Divided between the descendants of native Celtic people and the descendants of English and scottish immagrants
- Blight : plant disease; potatoe famine - Most of the people in Ireland relied on potatoes as thier main source of nutrients and as a reult one million irish died of starvation or disease. Crisis further inflamed anti brittish feelings because many Irish Catholics blamed England for not providing aid. Push and Pull factors resulted from this. Push: Famine. Pull: Jobs and economic oppurtunities.
