and the major events in this drama discuss the causes of discontent between Catholics and Protestants in Ireland and the significant events in this drama. If you can include some dates of these events and create some kind of timeline please.


Thanks to everyone who answered!
 
Part of the problem came about due to Ireland's discontent at being owned by England instead of being allowed to be their own country.
 
Thefrriction is not necessarily about Cahtolic vs Protestant as British (protestant) and Irish (Catholic) rule.
When the British invaded and occupoied Ireland they imposed their religion and forbade sometimes under penalty of death Irish from practicing their own religion.
so over the years it has been called a religous war but really it is Irish people wanting Irish home rule and people loyal to the British backed government.
