Anglo-Irish Treaty
Irish independence settlement
The Anglo-Irish Treaty was the 1921 agreement between Britain and Irish representatives that ended the Irish War of Independence and established the Irish Free State as a self-governing dominion.
The treaty partitioned Ireland, leaving Northern Ireland under British rule—a compromise that sparked the Irish Civil War between pro-treaty and anti-treaty factions.
