I would assume its because Wales and Scottland fell in line pretty quickly whereas Ireland never wanted to be part of Britain and told England to fuck off.

    Not British but wasn't Scotland conquered under feudalism, while Ireland was conquered during the capitalist and colonial areas? Might explain some of it.

      England conquered Ireland in the 16th century, Scotland and England was made a union in the 18th.

      Sure, Scotland and England had been at war and had conquests going back and forth, but it isn't like England and Irish lordships hadn't been at war before the conquest either.

      According to the guy above there was intermarriage between Scottish and English royals, allowing the scots to get a foothold in the new unified government. Wasn't that way with ireland, strict conquering and genocide.
