		Ireland in the twentieth century has had a very different history from that of most other western European countries.
		The two most profound shocks of the century, the world wars, met Ireland obliquely while partition and civil war were embittering first-hand experiences whose legacies continue to shape the course of events.
		This masterful new history is the first account to cover the whole of Ireland, north and south, from the origins of Sinn Fein at the beginning of the century to the Stormont agreement at the end.

	20th century - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The term is also used to describe various periods that overlap with the calendar definition, most notably the Short twentieth century, which claims that 1900-1913 is really part of the 1800s and that the 1990s are the dawn of the 21st Century.
		The 20th century has sometimes been called, both within and outside the United States, the American Century, though this is a controversial term.
		Advances in fundamental physics through the theory of relativity and quantum mechanics led to the development of nuclear weapons (known informally as "the Bomb" and dropped on the industrial town of Hiroshima and the historic one of Nagasaki), the nuclear reactor, and the laser.

		In the 16th Century they set their eyes upon Ireland's forests and lands, and upon the recommendation of the English poet Spenser, contemplated genocide of the Irish race (the beginning of the "troubles" in the relationship between the two nations).
		The 18th century was a time of the Penal Laws, which denied Catholics citizenry, and then the Famine of the 1850's nearly did in the time-tested Irish people.
		In the early 20th century, a move was afoot to revive the Celtic traditions that had been disallowed by the British.

	Karl Kautsky: Ireland (4. 20th Century - a. Ulster)
		The north-east corner of Ireland, the eastern part of the county of Ulster is a peculiar part of Ireland.
		It is the only part of Ireland in which protestants are in the majority and in which a strong industry has developed.
		Ulster was, therefore, well prepared for the capitalist upsurge in the British state in the 19th century, a generous share of which fell to it.

	Churchill and Ireland - The Churchill Centre

		In particular he believed the Loyalists of Northern Ireland should not be coerced into unwanted reunion with their former compatriots in the South, although he also believed that unification would come by free will one day.
		Though Ireland had proclaimed neutrality, there was a real risk of the ports falling into German hands, either as the result of invasion or by action by the IRA.

	Metroactive Books \| 'Ireland in the 20th Century'
		Ireland, a country with a population smaller than the state of Kentucky, has produced world leaders for other nations, successfully fought the largest empire in world history and decimated entire forests with the books of the 20th-century's most controversial and influential authors.
		The six counties of Northern Ireland became "an unjust, resentful, sectarian, one-party statelet wherein fundamental democratic rights such as one man, one vote did not apply," in large part because Britain shirked a responsibility "to ensure that the same standards applied to 'the U.K. overseas' as to 'the U.K. mainland.'"
		"Ireland," Coogan is able to report, "left the 20th century looking far better then she entered it." Which suggests that the terrible beauty Yeats said was born in the 1916 revolution may at last be ready to blossom with an emphasis on the beauty.

		One of the heroes of the Irish century is Sean Lemass, who went from being one of Collins's gunmen to being prime minister, starting to bring Ireland out of its economic doldrums.
		Coogan compares the government of Northern Ireland and its policies toward Catholics to "South Africa under apartheid." He shows how, by gerrymandering, the Unionists stripped Catholics of all power in the "Six Counties." This powerlessness resulted in the civil rights marches of the 1960s, which, when repressed, nourished the long-dormant IRA.
		The politics and culture of Ireland changed dramatically in the 20th century and Coogan has done a masterful job of taking a very complicated history and making it lively reading.

		On 22 May 1998 referenda were held in Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland on 'The Agreement' reached during the multi-party talks at Stormont.
		Many commentators described the referenda as 'historic' and in many respects the 22 May 1998 was a unique day in the history of politics in Ireland in the 20th century.
		The referendum in Northern Ireland was carried out on a single constituency basis so it was not possible to give a breakdown of the 'yes' and 'no' figures into the two main communities.
