Country Profile: Ireland __ "In the early 1920s, 26 counties of Ireland gained
independence from London following negotiations which led to partition. The

of civil war between those who accepted it and those who felt that the whole
island should be independent." Culture, history, political structure, arts,

Ireland __ "It's said that Ireland, once visited, is never forgotten, and for
once the blarney rings true. The Irish landscape has a mythic resonance, due as
much to the country's almost tangible history as its claim to being the home of
the fairies and the 'little people'. Sure, the weather may not always be
clement, but the dampness ensures there are fifty shades of green to compensate
- just one of the reasons Ireland is called the Emerald Isle." History, culture,
