[QUOTE="Wellytrack, post: 7393277, member: 13092"] Not exactly. The treaty of ‘The Irish free state’ comprised 32 counties until 6 counties under the control of Unionists, opted out. The Irish Free State, still existed within the British Empire similar to Canada. The Parliament of Northern Ireland could, by presenting an address to the king, opt not to be included in the Free State, in which case a Boundary Commission would be established to determine where the boundary between them should lie. Address made in Northern Ireland parliament on 7 December 1922 below. MOST GRACIOUS SOVEREIGN, We, your Majesty's most dutiful and loyal subjects, the Senators and Commons of Northern Ireland in Parliament assembled, having learnt of the passing of the Irish Free State Constitution Act, 1922, being the Act of Parliament for the ratification of the Articles of Agreement for a Treaty between Great Britain and Ireland, do, by this humble Address, pray your Majesty that the powers of the Parliament and Government of the Irish Free State shall no longer extend to Northern Ireland. Obviously not all in Republicanism were satisfied with this arrangement. Michael Collins was largely responsible for including an reference to an oath of fidelity to the king, his heirs and successors in reference to the Kings role in the Treaty of The Irish free state. This helped cause a divide in Irish Nationalism that continues to this day. Michael Collins was assassinated on August 22nd 1922. [/QUOTE]
