I'm also curious as to what point the Irish actually believe they won their country back from the British ?!?
They still haven't come to terms that the potato blight came from the US...
Oh God, look it up. I honestly don't want to rehash Irish history vis-a-vis Britain, -no one does, here. But what the hell does that question mean? Do you think discussion of the Church's abuses allows you to be so ignorant, and offensive to Irish people? We could start with 1916, or Ireland's being a member of the EU- but your question is so loaded with stupidity - "actually believe"- you boggle my mind that your question seems to posit that the Irish are deluded somehow that they've been a Republic for almost a goddamned century.
And yes,
potatoes came to Europe from the "New World", along with the mysterious genetic blight that led to the Irish famine over a century later (1847). The "US" had nothing to do with this, and I'm honestly exasperated at your sheer ignorance and ditzy changing of the subject. Sorry, but your post is annoying and dumb .
