It is common knowledge that like poles of a magnetic field or magnets attracts each other and there is nothing you can do to stop it from happening. Similar to this concept, we can understand that the influential will always be able to give a magnetic pull towards other simpler things, thereby influencing them. The United Kingdom, being the place of birth for the English language, character and stature, was always envied by all and to this very day, people have an affectionate and strong liking towards the ideals of the English soil. The Irish were very simple in their living and this brought envy from the people of Britain as they thought of dominating the place and to use it resources for their advantages. The Irish were too trusting and they fell for the plans of the traders, thinking that they truly are willing to help in improving the Irish status. But ill - treatment and suppression were the price they paid for those goods Then the Irish could no longer stand the brutality in the British dominance and they challenged their suppressors in small groups which were immediately crushed. Fifteenth century saw the conflicts between the British and Irish strengthen beyond limits, when Henry the eighth planned to bring Ireland under the leadership of the English government. He had initiated this idea just because the Irish opposed the English rules and dictatorship and to prevent the Island from becoming a base for future rebellions or foreign invasions of England. After conquering the entire stretch of land in 1541, Henry declared it as a full Kingdom and proclaimed himself as King of Ireland. The fire of the feud between Ireland and England was fueled by this action and many rose against this preposterous activity by the English people. Later on, the immigrants in England were subjected to various forms of insult and most commonly referred incident is the order by the government which prompted English people to place plaques outside English bars and pubs which read, "No Dogs, No Irish". But they had the nerve of copying and plundering the valuable resources from Ireland during their period of reign there. Policies framed by the crown government of England made it possible to reap the benefits from the Irish lands without any consent from their Irish land owners. Migration of Englishmen to Ireland was made legal and this made the lives of the Irish more miserable than ever. Due to heavy agitation, the period 1791 and 1800 saw the inception of the society of the united Irishmen and the Act of Union with the United Kingdom. The English were responsible for having made several finest English architectural examples across the Irish lands, admirable by even the Irish in spite of their hatred for Englishmen. By the introduction of the Act of Union, the Irish and the Englishmen have been able to share their knowledge and live peacefully. The English are now sharing with the Irish, their own privileges in England and thereby influence the Irish even to this very day.
