Ireland
James II's defeat by William of Orange in 1690 had severe

and long-term effects on the Irish people. Over the next half century the Protestant parliament in Dublin passed laws to prevent the Catholics from taking any part in national life.

Слайд 3

Catholics could not become members of the Dublin parliament, and could

not vote in parliamentary elections. No Catholic could become a lawyer, go to university, join the navy or accept any public post. It was impossible for Catholics to have their children educated according to their religion, because Catholic schools were forbidden.
Although there were still far more Catholics than Protestants. They had now become second-class citizens in their own land.

Слайд 4

By the 1770s, however, life had become easier and some of

the worst laws against Catholics were removed. But not everyone wanted to give the Catholics more freedom.
In Ulster, the northern part of Ireland, Protestants formed the first "Orange Lodges", societies which were against any freedom for the Catholics.

Слайд 5

In order to increase British control Ireland was united with Britain

in 1801, and the Dublin parliament closed. The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland lasted for 120 years.
Politicians had promised Irish leaders that when Ireland became part of Britain the Catholics would get equal voting opportunities.
But George III, supported by most Tories and by many Protestant Irish landlords, refused to let this happen.

Scotland
Scotland also suffered from the efforts of the Stuarts to win

back the throne. The first "Jacobite" revolt to win the crown for James II's son, in 1715, had been unsuccessful.
The Stuarts tried again in 1745, when James II’s grandson Prime Charles 73 Edward Stuart better known as “Bonny Prince Charlie” landed on the west coast of Scotland.

Слайд 7

Bonny Prince Charlie was more successful at first than anyone could

have imagined. His army of Highlanders entered Edinburgh and defeated an English army in a surprise attack. Then he marched south. Panic spread through England, because much of the British army was in Europe fighting the French.

Слайд 8

But success for Bonny Prince Charlie depended on Englishmen also joining

his army. When the Highland army was over halfway to London, however, it was clear that few of the English would join him, and the Highlanders themselves were unhappy at being so far from home.
The rebels moved back to Scotland. Early in 1746 they were defeated by the British army.
