It was right next door, small and the Irish were almost constantly rebelling and during Norman Era to Tudors etc they often retook large swaths of the country.

But they managed for quite a while to control India, Canada, countries in Africa and other parts of Asia aside from India.
>>
Niggers, Indians, Asians were turned against one another and those who had grudges against one another before colonial times such as rival Indian Kingdoms rarely united.

The Irish even if they hated a rival Gaelic clan would unite their forces all the time, could put aside past grievances in order to fight a common enemy.

Close proximity to the rest of Europe made it more difficult to put down rebellions

Because of the smaller tech gap, sorry forgot to add that

The Irish Rebellion leaders were often ex officers in British army and continental Europe armies so they had the experience and knew the enemies tactics.

Irish were white Christians so the Brits weren't willing to suppress them with nearly the levels of brutality that they used in their heathen colonies.

>>3103913
India wasn't united at all when they conquered it.

>>3104067
They had no problem doing it to the Boers though

They feared the Celtic warrior.

Lmao wtf? Catholics werent too popular with the British, and plenty of brutality was used to put down rebellions.
>>

Not to the degree of machine gunning non-violent Irish meetings in the streets thou.
>>
But they ruled Ireland for centuries longer than they ruled anywhere else.

These forms of execution were borrowed from the Mughals I think. It was a popular method in India and Afghanistan.
>>
>>3106088
Nah usually it was on football pitches
>>
the British were too kind with the Irish, they kept a light hand on quelling their rebelliousness, mayhaps the proximity to home newspapers

Nice dubs response too.

The Brits most certainly gunned down the Irish in cold blood many times.

Bullshit, Cromwell massacred the irish to such a degree that 50% of the population were killed. The entire population of Drogheda was killed, even the cats and dogs. Not even the Jews can say 50% of them were killed during ww2.

Same reason they couldn't hold on to the Americas: They were unable to use the same ruthless tactics against whites as they used against shitskins.

yet in all that poverty, and evil white englishman squalor oppression, there were still millions more left to die and be dispersed a couple hundred years later? meanwhile, Ireland hasn't reached its former population after that famous series of famines, well more than a hundred years on...

The Irish as a whole are descendants of English/British settlers. Their first language is English. Their greatest historical figures, in literature, science, even fucking Republicanism, are 'Anglo-Irish'. At no point in history has the Irish island been a single, independent entity, whilst it has had English/British rule - in whole or in part - for a third of its 'Celtic' history (they arrived in 500 BC).
It's no good pointing the finger at the English and moaning about oppression, because the Irish are the offspring of those same men and women who settled there, commandeered their land and brought it into the United Kingdom

Dunno whos arsehole you pulled that theory from. The British have been intermingling with normans, Saxons and Romans for thousands of years. The only foreign settlers of any decent size in Ireland were vikings. Some normans landed in Ireland but were a seperate class unto themselves and rarely mixed with indigenous Irish. Republicanism was taken from French revolutionaries thanks to people like Wolfe Tone. The only thing ill give you is english as the first language. Nice try
>>
>>3107270
With that dumb cunt logic killing your own children is something you can excuse because they are your descendant. Who told you this though? An Englishman? Plus, I am from Galway first words, first sentence I could spit out was in Gaelic or Gaeilge if you will.

>>3107270
Everything you have said is utterly insane

before that my family came and made dublin. they were vikings

The Irish are ethnically and religiously homogenous for the most part. That means the brits can't pit them against each other and it makes for a more unified Irish resistance. Compare this to India, one of the most ethnically and religiously diverse places on the planet. Between the hundreds of ethnicities, different reilgions, caste system and so on, it's pretty easy to play them against each other. That's what made the independence movement by Ghandi so successful. He, Hindu leaders and Muslim leaders managed to put their diffferences aside to a great degree to raise an effective resistance.

They didn't. They controlled Dublin and only gained full control of the Island hundreds of years after invading.

For the Irish the day the Anglo conquered their Island was the most important day of their history, but for us it was a Tuesday.
>>
>>3108893
Getting Invaded in Ireland was happening long before the Anglos.

We didn't even really care until they got hyper-autistic every now and again then somebody rebelled.
