	Government of Ireland Act 1920 - Definition, explanation
		The Act, introduced by the government of David Lloyd George, divided Ireland into two territories, Southern Ireland and Northern Ireland, each intended to be self-governing except in areas specifically reserved to the Parliament of the United Kingdom: chief amongst these were matters relating to the Crown, to defence, foreign affairs, international trade, and currency.
		"Southern Ireland" was to be all of Ireland except for "the parliamentary counties of Antrim, Armagh, Down, Fermanagh, Londonderry and Tyrone, and the parliamentary boroughs of Belfast and Londonderry" which were to constitute "Northern Ireland".
		This partitioning of Ireland was an attempt by the British Government to reconcile the demand by Irish nationalists, on the one hand, for home rule and that by Irish unionists, on the other, that home rule not be conceded.

	Northern Ireland* page
		Northern Ireland is a part of the United Kingdom at the request of the majority of its inhabitants.
		The British government was believed to wish to restore a devolved government but could only do so with the support of the Irish Republic, which would require that Nationalists and Unionists form a coalition government to represent both sides.
		An independent northern Ireland seems unlikely to be viable as, like Croatia or Bosnia, it might face a military threat from the IRA and their American supporters, especially in the two and a half counties which ought to have been transferred to the Republic in 1924.

	EZGeography - Northern Ireland
		It covers 14,139 square kilometres (5,459 square miles) in the north-east of the island of Ireland, about a sixth of the total area of the island, and has a population of 1,685,000 (April 2001) — between a quarter and a third of the island's total population.
		The all-island Kingdom of Ireland (1541-1801) was incorporated into the United Kingdom in 1801 under the terms of the Act of Union, under which the kingdoms of Ireland and Great Britain merged under a central parliament, government and monarchy based in London.
		Therefore, after the First World War, Ireland was partitioned in 1921 under the terms of the Government of Ireland Act 1920 between six of the nine Ulster counties in the northeast (forming Northern Ieland) and the remaining twenty-six counties of the south and west (forming Southern Ireland and became the Irish Free State in 1922).

	History of the Northern Ireland Parliament
		The Parliament of Northern Ireland was established by the Government of Ireland Act 1920, a piece of legislation that was intended to establish a partition of Ireland and create two devolved Parliaments within the United Kingdom.
		The Government of Ireland Act prescribed that elections to the House of Commons be by the single transferable vote, though the Parliament was given power to alter the electoral system from three years after its first meeting.
		Because Northern Ireland is mostly rural, population movements were so small that these boundaries were used almost everywhere until the Parliament was dissolved in 1972; in 1968 the government abolished the four-member Queen’s University constituency and created four new constituencies in the outskirts of Belfast.
