Answer: British rule in Ireland began with the Anglo-Norman invasion of Ireland in 1169.

Step-by-step explanation:

Most of Ireland gained independence from Great Britain following the Anglo-Irish War as a Dominion called the Irish Free State in 1922, and became a fully independent republic following the passage of the Republic of Ireland Act in 1949.
