I'm still pissed off at their neutrality during WWII.

Just one more issue I'm working through.

Why? They had nothing to gain by helping the UK out. And everything to lose by helping the Germans.

They absolutely HATE the British. Thankfully they didn’t join the Nazis(officially). Hitler probably would have offered them the North if they Joined them.

The Eire government was officially neutral but almost 5,000 members of the Irish defence forces left their own units and joined up with allied forces, mainly British. After the war they were denied pensions and unemployment by the Irish government. De Valera was officially neutral but was in fact pro Axis.

Understandable though, as the British were not worthy of being considered an ally after occupying Ireland for what, 800 years or so?

Why Papa Joe Kennedy was a Nazi Symp, until he realized it was bad politically.
