Ever wondered why the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland have a mutual dislike towards each other that resulted in terrorist activities during The Troubles? The Irish side of the story will tell you that even though the British people did try to lend a hand during the infamous 1845-1852 Irish Potato Famine, the British Government did not want the British people to even lift a finger to help Ireland in their time of need. This was the result of the intense hatred that Protestants and Catholics had towards each other, and it resulted in terrorist activities that have a lasting legacy on the British Isles to this day.
