The Culture of Ireland as Influenced by British Rule
The beautiful, lush green vegetation of Ireland is often a lasting memory of the country of Ireland. However, after some time, the absence of trees is noted by many. In a sense, that positive and negative side of the physical landscape of Ireland is analogous to Ireland's experience of being ruled by Britain for hundreds of years.
