Today you can cross from Ireland, an independent country, into Northern Ireland, a part of the UK, without even noticing it. Just going from Clones, Ireland to Cloverhill, Ireland will bring you across an international border 4 times! • Today the border between the UK and Ireland is invisible. In the past, not so much! There used to be barbed wire, soldiers, and checkpoints along this 500km border. Bombs, bodies, and balaclavas were common sights and this squiggly line of the map caused 30 years of sectarian violence. But why is there an Irish border? Why is Ireland divided? And will Brexit affect the Irish border? In this video, we'll find out • The Northern Irish Peace Process ended the Troubles. Paramilitary organisations surrendered their weapons. Communities began to come together, old hatreds start to fade away. Now 30,000 people cross the invisible border every day. • Then Brexit happened. • We’ll have to see how Brexit turns out and what effects it will have on the border. • But looking at the past we can see that the effects of a border, especially one as messy as this one, can have unintended consequences. • • Follow me on twitter • / cogitoedu • Or Reddit r/cogitoedu • • Or Facebook • @CogitoYT • • IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO CONTRIBUTE TO MY PATREON PLEASE SEE HERE. • / cogitoedu • MERCHANDISE • https://cogitostore.teemill.com/ • Sources • • Unapproved Routes: Histories of the Irish Border, 1922-1972 : https://amzn.to/2LEUHoR • Ireland's Violent Frontier: The Border and Anglo-Irish Relations During the Troubles: https://amzn.to/2LDeBAz • Bordering Two Unions: Northern Ireland and Brexit: https://amzn.to/30drD0C • Partition in Ireland India and Palestine ; Theory and Practice: https://amzn.to/30bjDMz • The Rule of the Land: Walking Ireland's Border: https://amzn.to/2OaEhWL • Brexit and Ireland: The Dangers, the Opportunities, and the Inside Story of the Irish Response: https://amzn.to/2LEu7Mr • The Border: The Legacy of a Century of Anglo-Irish Politics: https://amzn.to/30zy3SM • Violent Borders: Refugees and the Right to Move: https://amzn.to/2LFC4B5 • The Provisional IRA, the Irish border, and Anglo-Irish relations during the Troubles: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/1... • The Making of the Troubles in Northern Ireland: https://www.jstor.org/stable/260908 • https://www.irishtimes.com/news/world... • https://www.vox.com/world/2019/2/18/1... • https://alphahistory.com/northernirel... • http://news.bbc.co.uk/onthisday/hi/da... • https://www.thebritishacademy.ac.uk/s... • https://www.irishtimes.com/news/irela... • https://www.euronews.com/2018/09/25/w... • • • All images are taken from Creative Commons or used in accordance with fair use.
