    The document discusses several key political issues and policies related to Ireland in the 19th century. It summarizes that Britain united Ireland and enacted policies to control it for national security reasons after the Napoleonic Wars. Britain hoped to economically benefit Ireland and gain its allegiance through union, though this was never fully achieved. Throughout the 19th century, British politicians largely aimed to maintain the union, though Catholic emancipation and reform bills showed efforts to appease Ireland. The growth of the Irish Home Rule movement in the late 19th century pushed for more autonomy.

    Political Issues & Policies

    The Broad Picture


    National Security Desire to unite and control Maintenance of the Union Growth of Home Rule Movement Parties against each other

    National Security
    Napoleonic Wars Ireland would be the perfect launch pad for attack. Ireland became a security risk for the rest of Britain that needed to be pacified. The Act of Union in 1800 served this purpose by controlling Ireland from Westminster

    United Irishmen posed a threat via a revolution to the landlords

    Desire to Unite and Control


    Like with Scotland, Britain hoped that a Union would successfully pacify Ireland and its security threats

    Britain believed that similar to Scotland, Ireland would thrive economically and become a strong political ally
    This belief was never achieved

    Maintenance of the Union


    Up until Gladstone, British politicians believed the best way to benefit Ireland would be through maintenance of the Union

    Catholic emancipation and the following reform bills showed Britains attempt to appease the Irish

    Growth of the Home rule Movement


    The Fenian outrages caused a change in heart for Gladstone. He believed Home Rule was now the solution to the Irish Problem After several failed attempts, it was the 1911 parliament act that made Home Rule an achievable goal.
