Northern Ireland

From Turtledove

Northern Ireland is a constituent country within the United Kingdom, lying in the northeast of the island of Ireland.

[edit] Northern Ireland in Worldwar

Northern Ireland was the only substanial piece of the British Empire uninvaded by the Race in 1944. As such, it remained a British possession when the rest of the Empire fell under the rule of the Race.

[edit] Northern Ireland in Southern Victory

The whole of Ireland was given its independence after Britain lost the Great War. This included the northern Irish province of Ulster, which would prove a restive area, as many of its citizens were Protestants whose loyalty lay with Britain rather than to the newly created, predominantly Catholic Republic of Ireland.
