Why does everyone mention the Irish border when we talk about Brexit? Why is Ireland separated into two countries? What is the link between the UK and Ireland? This programme is a crash course in Irish history, culminating in its significance for Brexit. Over the course of the six lessons, students will learn about the politics, revolutions, nationalism and unionism that form such a significant part of British politics today. This is a great course for any students who might want to pursue history, or politics at university. Furthermore, the lesson will be important for anyone who is looking to gain a deeper understanding of the United Kingdom in a broader sense.
