History of Europe

When did Ireland come into exsistance?

The island of Ireland has existed for millions of years. However, the modern state of Ireland came into existence on December 6th, 1922, following the ratification of the Anglo-Irish Treaty. The treaty ended the Irish War of Independence and led to the creation of the Irish Free State, a dominion within the British Empire. The Irish Free State became a fully independent republic on April 18th, 1949.
