Ireland achieved home rule in 1914 in spite of the protests of which of the following?

Prime Minister Gladstone
The Catholic Church
Irish Protestants
Majority of the Liberal party
Irish tenant farmers

Explanation

Answer: C - Ireland received home rule, although Irish Protestants, known as the Ulstermen, objected. They were supported by British Conservatives and never formally severed with Britain, as the rest of Ireland did in 1922. Gladstone first put forward Irish home rule in 1886; although it divided the Liberal Party, it ultimately passed in 1914. Protestants feared being separated from England in a Catholic nation, and this division has yet to be fully resolved.
