I lived in Boston, which is a very ex-British area. cf "The British Are Coming!" (or the regulars are coming or whatever he actually said). Both that area and the ROI are areas formally controlled by the British, which is what I said. I'm also aware of how much of California was taken from Mexico, for example. Really don't need a geography lesson.
Not every complication and aspect of history can be represented in a snapshot of the current state of any part of the world, otherwise maps would be so full of information that is no help whatsoever to be utterly useless.
We obviously don't agree, we're obviously not going to agree. Ergo, continuing this conversation is pointless. Have a nice life.
