Transition from Pitt to Liverpool (brief notes)1800 Act of Union saw Ireland become part of the UK.
Britain wanted Ireland to be a part of it due to threat of invasion from France through
Ireland. Ireland was poor and predominantly catholic. Pitt discussed the act of union and
Ireland agreed to be a part of Britain if they had the same voting rights as the UK. Pitt spoke
to King George III who agreed to it, so Ireland became part of Britain, however, King George
then went back on his word and didn’t give them the voting rights they were promised so
Pitt resigned as he felt he had betrayed Ireland.
Catholic emancipation: Irish Catholics having the same political rights as protestants. (So, it
was catholic emancipation king George denied)
1812-Lord Liverpool becomes Prime Minister
1815-Napolean is defeated at waterloo and the war with revolutionary France is over
Under the terms of the Union, which came into effect on 1 January 1801, the Irish
