The '''Invasion of Northern Ireland''' was the invasion of Northern Ireland by the [[Republic of Ireland]] against the [[United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland]] (not to be confused with the post-war [[United Kingdom of Great Britain]]). The invasion costed the ill-prepared Irish Army significant losses, but ultimately succeeded after two years of continued operations. The invasion was greatly supported by the [[Greater Germanic Reich|German Reich]] due to Germanys plan of utilizing the ports of Ireland to cut off Britain and all allied forces on the island from continued supplies via the US. [[Operation Sealion]], the invasion of the British home isles, was made possible by the invasion of Northern Ireland and is widely regarded as being a nail in the coffin of the Allied war effort. |
