Flags of the World > Ireland Flag

Brief History. Through history, territory of today's Ireland was invaded by Celtic tribes, Norseman, Danes and finally English. In 1948 Ireland withdrew from the British Commonwealth; it joined the European Community in 1973. Irish governments have sought the peaceful unification of Ireland and have cooperated with Britain against terrorist groups. A peace settlement for Northern Ireland, known as the Good Friday Agreement and approved in 1998, is being implemented with some difficulties.
