    Explanation:

    Over the course of the 20th century, in Ireland, there was gradually declining of dependence on Britain. In 1937, the state was transformed into a republic, and in 1949, Ireland withdrew from the union with Great Britain. Opposite processes were observed in the north, until in 1972 the Northern Irish Parliament was dissolved. The fullness of power in the region passed into the hands of the British authorities; in fact, Northern Ireland was controlled directly from London. In the 20th century, in Northern Ireland, there was an increase in self-awareness of not only of Irish and British, but also of Catholics and Protestants, which shifted the conflict from a purely ethno-political to an ethno-confessional one, and worsened the identity situation on the island. In this regard, the corresponding right-wing parties and organizations gained great popularity among the local population.
