Northern Ireland is a constituent country of the United Kingdom, located on the island of Ireland. It is one of the four countries that make up the United Kingdom, alongside England, Scotland, and Wales. The history of Northern Ireland is complex and has been marked by centuries of political and religious conflict. The region's roots in the conflict between Catholics, who generally favor Irish reunification, and Protestants, who wish to remain part of the United Kingdom, date back to the 17th century. In 1921, following the Irish War of Independence, the Anglo-Irish Treaty led to the partition of Ireland into two separate entities: the Irish Free State (now the Republic of Ireland) and Northern Ireland, which remained part of the United Kingdom. This division was based on the religious and political demographics of the time. Belfast is the capital and largest city of Northern Ireland. It is an important economic and cultural hub, known for its history, industry, and vibrant arts scene.  Northern Ireland is renowned for its stunning natural beauty, with landscapes that include lush green countryside, rugged coastlines, and the Giant's Causeway, a unique rock formation along the Northern Irish coast. Tourism is a significant industry in Northern Ireland, with visitors coming to explore its natural beauty, historical sites, and cultural attractions, including the Titanic Belfast museum and the walled city of Derry/Londonderry.
