According to The Oxford Encyclopedia of the Modern World's entry on Northern Ireland says "Northern Ireland was established by an act of the British Parliament in 1920. The act was introduced with a view to settling the Irish question as it had affected British politics since the 1860s" (ed. Peter N. Stearns, 2008, full text for BC).

In our very own special collections library (Burns), you'll find an impressive array of material on Irish History. It's one of BC's areas of focus. If you're studying the topic it's well worth the trip to hold that history in your hands.
To do so, you should start by searching for material through BC Libraries' catalog and then ordering it (if you haven't registered, you'll be prompted). For a guide on the process, check out the "Finding Burns Material" page.
