1169-1171 Norman invasion of Ireland (in several stages)
. First British colonization.
In the struggle for supreme power one of the local kings in Ireland calls for help among the Norman kings in England in 1169. The Normans, however, stay in Ireland and the British colonization of Ireland , which was to last four centuries, starts. Gradually the old Gaelic order is ousted by the Anglo-Normans, who bring an entirely different culture and society with them. A feudal way of organizing society with feudal lords and centralization replaces the old system/culture with elected kings and communal ownership of the land. Dublin becomes the center. This is the beginning of the Anglo-Irish conflict, which was to shape Irish history in the following centuries up until today.

1200-50 British colonizing. English colonists were sent to colonize Ireland.

1494 The English crown officially claimed Ireland as part of England. Meetings and legislative drafts of the Irish parliament were subject to the control of the English king and council. But in 1496 Kildare, the lord deputy who had ruled Ireland before 1494, was reinstated.

1536-1541 First English conquest of Ireland under Henry VIII.

1549-1640 Plantations. Many English and Scottish families were sent to Ireland to receive estates as rewards from the king. Lands were mainly granted in the counties of Leix, Offaly, Tipperary, Wexford, Leitrim, and Longford and in the major plantations in Ulster province. Some civil servants received lands in Munster province. Many Irish families were displaced.

1603 Scots began settling Ulster province.

1641-52 Irish Rebellion. Ulster natives overthrew English colonial rule, and Irish rebels established a Catholic government called the Confederation of Kilkenny.

1649 Second English conquest. Oliver Cromwell crushed the rebellion in Ireland and awarded lands to Protestants.

Was it characterized by:

-Ethnic tensions associated with the influx of thousands of foreign immigrants?

-Dramatic urban growth?

-The development of a society freer than in the North?

-Most financial capital being invested in land and slaves?

or

-None of the above?

I mean if the Germans and the axis allies was all in western Europe fighting the British and Americans..

could the allies take Italy?
would Italy crumble so quickly?
could Rommel take north Africa with the Germans mainly focused on that theater of war?

No. The terms of unconditional surrender were spelled out by FDR, Churchill, and Stalin in 1943, and Germany and Japan knew them.
Some elements in the Japanese regime were actually casting about for a way to approach the Allies about an armistice, but wanted to do so in such a way as to not appear desperate for peace. They had to be careful as well, since the militarists who dominated Japan were known to assassinate opponents--people they considered defeatists.
Since the Allies would accept only unconditional surrender, and Germany and Japan had conducted the war in such a way as to make unconditional surrender the equivalent of national exterimination, WWII could only have ended as it did--with complete victory for one side or the other.
There are just some fights that can't end with a handshake.

After their landslide victory in the 1906 general election, the Liberals, among whom David Lloyd George and Winston Churchill were rising stars, embarked on significant welfare reforms. These included the Trade Disputes Act 1906, which laid down the essential principle of collective labour law that any strike "in contemplation or furtherance of a trade dispute" is immune from civil law sanctions. The Old Age Pensions Act 1908 provided pensions for retirees. The Trade Boards Act 1909 created industrial panels to fix minimum wages

The Trade Boards Act 1909 was a piece of social legislation passed in the United Kingdom in 1909. It provided for the creation of boards which could set minimum wage criteria that were legally enforceable.[1] It was expanded and updated in the Trade Boards Act 1918.

The Trade Boards Act 1918 (c 32) was an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom that heavily shaped the post-World War I system of UK labour law, particularly regarding collective bargaining and the establishment of minimum wages. It was the result of the second of five Whitley Committee reports.

During World War One the brutality of the Western Front demanded the participation of every available person and resource. As women took over traditional "men's jobs" the Suffragette movement gained momentum. Before the war's conclusion, the Representation of the People Act 1918 gave universal suffrage to men over age 21 and women over 28. A new beginning was promised by the victors to their people. The Versailles Treaty created the International Labour Organisation to draw up common standards between countries, for as it said, "peace can be established only if it is based on social justice", and echoed the US Clayton Act 1914 in pronouncing that "labour should not be regarded merely as a commodity or an article of commerce".But the international system remained disjointed as the United States Congress withheld its approval to join the League of Nations. Within the UK the postwar settlement was to make a home fit for heroes. Whitley Councils extended the Trade Boards Act 1909 system to Joint Industrial Councils that encouraged (non legally binding) fair wage agreements,while the Ministry of Labour actively organised and advised the growth of trade unions. This was based on a theory of collective bargaining, agreement or action, advocated by Sidney Webb and Beatrice Webb in Industrial Democracy to remedy the inequality of bargaining power of workers.Without legal force behind collective agreements, the law remained in a state of collective laissez faire, encouraging voluntarism for agreement and dispute settlement between industrial partners.
