Controversial in Northern Ireland canvas prints
The United Kingdom of Great Britain conquered Ireland in the 16th century during the Battle of Kinsale. Upon the establishment of British rule in the region, many Irish lords left the land and settled in other parts of Europe. Their lands were taken by England and the region was placed under the rule of a Protestant, English-speaking government. Photowall pays homage to this great land with “Belfast Northern Ireland Skyline”, “Giants Causeway in Antrim”, and “Belfast Skyline Rainbow” in its fine collection of Northern Ireland canvas prints.

Tumultuous in Northern Ireland canvas prints
The political unrest caused by the dissent among Catholic Nationalists and Protestant Unionists is called The Troubles. These low-level, but very violent urban conflicts have been ravaging the region since the 1960s. The technology of warfare has changed but the main thrust of the disagreement remains the same. Thousands have lost their lives to these Troubles. The Catholics established their own rebel group called the Irish Republican Army or IRA. This was declared as a terrorist organization by the British, which then proceeded to counter their attacks with the founding of the Royal Ulster Constabulary or the RUC. Elements of the British Army called the Special Air Service, which is England’s own branch of crack commandos, were also called in to support the troops. The violence caused by the clashes of these two sides was nothing short of epic. The loss of life and the casualties suffered by both sides prompted Sinn Feinn, which is the Catholic’s political arm, and the British government to call for ceasefires many times. But these proved to be temporary and inefficient solutions to the problem, and could scarcely stem the flow of blood brought about by the fighting.
