recently watched a Jackie Chan eldest brother's movie " England vs. ", which tells the story of the revenge of a father who lost his daughter. The background of the story is in the UK. Jackie Chan originally played a Vietnam special soldier, which also paved the way for his many killing skills later. The reason for the story is that Jackie Chan's daughter in the movie was killed on the spot in a terrorist attack. Later, it was discovered that the Irish Republican Army did it, so Jackie Chan embarked on the road of revenge, desperately looking for the trouble of the former Irish Republican Army, and finally succeeded in revenge.
Uncle Long who was caught up in the British-Irish conflict Is the IRA gone?
(1) What kind of existence is the IRA?
The Irish Republican Army was originally an anti-colonial product. Its predecessor was established in 1919 to drive out the British devils and establish the "Irish Volunteers", a nationalist military organization of the independent Republic of Ireland. Everyone looks at Irish people and thinks that they are very different from the British. In fact, they are not the same thing at all, just like Japan and South Korea, they look similar, but they are not the same people at all. It can even be said that the British treat the Irish more seriously than the Japanese do to the Koreans , so the serious Irish hate the British very much.
The Great Famine in Ireland under British Rule
In order to drive away the British troops stationed on the island of Ireland, the Irish Republican Army used violent activities for a long time to achieve political demands, that is, throw bombs frantically and shoot at the British. In the end, the British felt that the cost of rule was too high to bear, and finally gave up all colonization of the island of Ireland.
The Easter Rising against the British colonists
In December 1921, the British authorities had to sign a treaty with Ireland to allow part of Ireland to become independent, that is, the 26 southern counties to form a "Free State" with self-government, and later this Some also successfully established the country. The six northern counties of the island of Ireland are placed under the United Kingdom, because there are many British immigrants there, that is, , Northern Ireland, . However, although there are a lot of British immigrants in Northern Ireland, it is not that there are no native Irish people there, so there is a split among Irish independents. Some feel that the 26 counties are already the limit, after all, they can't beat the British. However, some people think that the Han and the thieves are not at odds with each other, and the king's industry is not partial, and the British devils must be driven out of Ireland!

So in 1922, the part of the original Irish resistance army opposed the " British-Irish Treaty " which divided Ireland into two parts, so they continued to fight against the British and carried out violent activities. Ten years have only subsided a little. They fought for the independence of Ireland and now for the unification of Northern Ireland. They are divided into orthodox factions and provisional factions.
(2) Is the IRA gone?
However, in "British Showdown", some members of the Irish Republican Army were recruited and became Song Jiang of Northern Ireland, but a considerable part still tried their best to fight the British. In "British Showdown", the IRA exploded in London, which is not an exaggeration at all, because the IRA is such a group, and they are very cruel to the British. On the other hand, the British are also very cruel to the Irish Republican Army, and they belong to the endless existence. In history, the Irish Republican Army has also done a lot of cruel work, the most typical of which is to blow up the Mountbatten who came up with the partition of India and Pakistan Iron Lady Margaret Thatcher.

Just as in "British Showdown", the IRA was recruited by the UK, so did a considerable number of the IRA Into the Brit system, in other words, the Brits are also against the IRAA compromise was made. But then came the entrance of Irish independents. On May 7, 2022, the pro-Ireland independent Sinn Fein won the most seats in the British Northern Ireland parliamentary election, becoming the largest political party in the Northern Ireland parliament. That means the independents won the Northern Ireland election.
