The Failed British Invasion (of Ireland)
a map of the failed British invasion of Ireland, 1943. The Brits made several attempted landings in the south, but failed. For a while, the British-Backed loyalist militias advanced, but they collapsed in 1944, due to infighting and Britain pulling away its forces to deal with France. The eastern counties of Ulster were put under military occupation until 1950, when the Grand Duchy of Ulster was formed (more on that later)
