Answer:

B: The north remained under British rule.

Step-by-step explanation:

The post-ceasefire talks led to the signing of the Anglo-Irish Treaty on 6 December 1921. This ended British rule in most of Ireland and, after a ten-month transitional period overseen by a provisional government, the Irish Free State was created as a self-governing Dominion on 6 December 1922. Ireland asked to be part of the United Kingdom on 3 May 1921 under the Government of Ireland Act 1920. The Act intended for both home rule territories to remain within the United Kingdom and contained provisions for their eventual reunification. Although the answer should be D, the administration of E2021 deemed the answer to be B...kinda changing history if you ask me but I suppose that's what we do nowadays. If you have any questions please comment below. E2021, have a great day.
