The earliest recorded settlements on the location known as Ireland today were Celtic Tribes (600-150 BC). Norseman invasions began in 8th century and ended in 1014 when King Brian Boru defeated the Danes. English invasions began in the 12th century and set off more than seven centuries of Anglo-Irish struggle marked by fierce rebellions and harsh repressions. A failed 1916 Easter Monday Rebellion touched off several years of guerrilla warfare, which, in 1921 resulted in independence from the UK for 26 southern counties of Ireland. Six northern (Ulster) counties remained part of the United Commonwealth Kingdom (Northern Ireland); it joined the European Community in 1973. Irish governments have sought the peaceful unification of Ireland and have cooperated with Britain against terrorist groups. A peace settlement for Northern Ireland, known as the Good Friday Agreement and approved in 1998, is being implemented with some difficulties. Ireland has played an active role in the United Nations since its membership in 1955, mainly in its contribution to peacekeeping missions around the world and its support for UN agencies concerned with development and human rights. Ireland is a small, modern, trade-dependent economy with growth averaging a healthy 8% in 1995-2002.
