Answer 1

The conflict in Northern Ireland today is largely historically because of the English colonization of Ireland.

Step-by-step explanation:

The conflict in Northern Ireland today is largely historically because of The English colonization of Ireland. The English seized Ireland in the twelfth century, and tensions between Ireland and Britain have persisted ever since.
