Ireland was part of the United Kingdom not the British Empire. What became the Republic of Ireland first left the UK as the Irish Free State in 1921.

The reason for the split was that the majority of Irish in the three other provences(Leinster, Munster and Connacht) and three counties in the provence of Ulster wanted full independence from the UK. Religion was an issue, however it wasn't the main issue. It was more self determination. This was achieved by force of arms by the IRA, Irish Republican Army. This cannot be confused by its latter day recreation who are a blight on the Irish Psyche. The reamaining six counties in Ulster remained part of the UK, this made a lot of people in the Free State unhapping and Civil War insued.

After the split, the Catholic minority in Ulster were pursicuted and the civil rights movement started in the sixities, this was harshly crushed by the protestant majority and what is called the Provisional IRA started it's terrorist campaign. This situation is now being resolved peacefully through talks.

unionists in the north preferred to remain part of the united kingdom whereas nationalists in the south wanted a republic. main reasons for the north staying part of the uk are:
-religious
-economic
-social
-political
Unionists were mainly Protestant and they feared that they would become a minority if they joined the republic as the south were mainly Catholic. that's the main reason why they stayed with uk

No it was not over Religion. See my answer 2 questions earlier in this section. Just because the majority of answerers say "religion" does not make it so!!!!
