Explanation

English rule in Ireland included taking land from Irish owners and establishing plantations, where land was settled by people loyal to England, often Protestant settlers. The English also passed laws that favored Protestantism and gave land to Protestant settlers. They did not encourage Irish languages or guarantee religious freedom; Irish Catholics faced discrimination and restrictions.
