Answer 8

Yes. The Act of Union in 1801 made Ireland part of Great Britain. Ireland fought for its independence at several points, culminating in the Proclamation of independence in 1916. They fought the United Kingdom to a standstill, and a treaty was negotiated in 1920, which left the Six Counties in the north of Ireland under British control, and the 26 counties as a commonwealth, the Irish Free State. This led to a year-long civil war in 1921, between pro- and anti-Treaty forces. Ireland adopted a constitution in 1937, and declared its final independence as the Republic of Ireland in 1949. But the Six Counties, also known as Northern Ireland, remain part of the U.K., as they have since the 1801 Act of Union.

Answer 9

Yes, Ireland was a part of the UK before.

It has never, however, been a part of Great Britain unless we are talking about the ice age, as Great Britain is a physical entity i.e. an island.
