When was Ireland divided into two countries?

Correct Answer: In 1922

Ireland was divided into two countries in 1922.

Following the Irish War of Independence (1919–1921) and the Anglo-Irish Treaty of 1921, the island was partitioned.

The south became the Irish Free State (which later became the Republic of Ireland), an independent country. The north — Northern Ireland — remained part of the United Kingdom. This division was a major political event that shaped British and Irish history throughout the 20th century, including the conflict known as "the Troubles" (c. 1968–1998).
