How does irelands geography affect its problems with the UK?
well, it’s kind of like, close to the UK, and part of the island is part of the UK, and so it was like, one of the first places that the english started setting up empire, and so got more established there than in some other places– long history of colonialism. And lots of history of trade, banking, etc. being dependant on one another, historically with ireland as more of a producer of raw materials and england as more a producer of manufactured goods.
