Quiz
Is Dublin just a city?

A.True B.False

Dublin is a city yes but is also a country. Dublin is one of the smallest 32 Irish countries in Ireland.

Dublin all started in 988 A.D when it was officially named but research show that it was actually named Elbana in the 2nd century. Later on in the 1600s Dublin was taken over by Oliver Cromwell. After Oliver Cromwell took over Dublin then grew bigger in size and wealth. Dublin then became the 2nd city of the British Empire. But after awhile England and Ireland didnt get along that well and had a huge fight. So England took away their status as 2nd city of the British Empire in 1800. But later on Ireland became independent in 1922. This independence started around the 1916 War of Independence.
