High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles The partition of Ireland (Irish: cr ochdheighilt na h ireann) was the division of the island of Ireland into two distinct territories, now Northern Ireland (a part of the United Kingdom) and the Republic of Ireland (an independent state). Partition occurred when the British Parliament passed the Government of Ireland Act 1920. From 1801 to 1920 the whole island had formed an integral part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and was governed as one unit. The Act of 1920 was intended to create two separate self-governing territories within the UK, but partition was reinforced in 1922 when the greater part of Ireland was separated from the United Kingdom.
