    The Irish Question involved Ireland's struggle for independence from British rule over centuries. Key events included the Battle of the Boyne in 1690 which led to Catholic persecutions; the Act of Union in 1801 which caused Ireland to lose administrative independence; the Great Famine from 1845-1849 which resulted in over 1 million Irish deaths and emigrations; the Easter Rising in 1916 where republicans rebelled for Irish independence; and the partition of Ireland and establishment of the Irish Free State in 1922 allowing Ireland to become a self-governing dominion yet remain in the British Commonwealth. Violence and tensions continued for decades over civil and political rights in Northern Ireland.
