NI 100: Why did Carson give up chance to be NI s first PM?

BBC News By Mark Simpson image captionA 12ft statue of Sir Edward Carson was unveiled at Stormont in 1933 The course of Irish history changed 100 years ago with the decision of Sir Edward Carson to stand down from the unionist leadership and relinquish the chance to become Northern Ireland s first prime minister. A century on, his great-grandson believes it was a mixture of personal and political factors which led to Carson s momentous decision, announced on 4 February 1921. A large statue of Carson was erected at Stormont in spite of his reluctance to lead the new parliament in 1921. His great-grandson, Toby Carson, points out that the veteran unionist leader was 66 years old at the time.

Sworn enemies: the real story of Old Bailey clash that ruined Oscar Wilde

Now a previously unpublished letter reveals that Sir Edward Carson’s attack on Wilde in the Old Bailey was partly personal – a loathing that went beyond his job in defending the Marquess of Queensberry in the ill-fated libel case. © Photograph: Apic/Getty Images

NI 100: Newspapers clash on the King s Christmas gift

BBC News By Chris Andrews image copyrightMirrorpix/Getty Images image captionCrowds gathered outside Belfast City Hall in June 1921 for the opening of NI s first parliament The front pages on Christmas Eve 1920 lacked the usual festive cheer, instead focused on a political story which would shape a century of Irish politics. The previous day, parliament was told that the Government of Ireland Act had received royal assent, legislating for the partition of the island. By design, Northern Ireland and Southern Ireland (later to become known as the Irish Free State) would have their own parliaments, with London maintaining control over issues such as foreign policy and the military.

December 1920 major step in making Partition a reality

There wasn t much seasonal cheer in official circles in Dublin, Belfast or London at Christmas 1920. There just wasn t time. These few weeks saw Partition become a reality for the first time, with the creation in law of Northern Ireland, and seemingly the hopes for peace on the island dashed, hopes that had flickered for a few precious months. And yet, and yet. No sooner than hope for peace had been crushed, it was raised again. The imposition of that most alien of concepts for Nationalists, the Partition of Ireland, had in fact created the conditions for making the peace with Britain, on terms well in advance of what the British had declared themselves willing to offer.
