Anglo-Irish Treaty
The
Anglo-Irish Treaty
, commonly known as
The Treaty
and officially the
Articles of Agreement for a Treaty Between Great Britain and Ireland
, was an agreement between the government of the
United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland
and
Irish
representatives that concluded the
Irish War of Independence
. It provided for the establishment of the
Irish Free State
within a year as a self-governing
dominion
within the
British Commonwealth of Nations
(the first use by the UK government of this term, rather than "
British Empire
", in an official document). It also provided
Northern Ireland
, which had been created by the
Government of Ireland Act 1920
, an option to opt out of the Irish Free State, which it exercised.
