Explanation:

Over the course of the 20th century, in Ireland, there was gradually declining of dependence on Britain. In 1937, the state was transformed into a republic, and in 1949, Ireland withdrew from the union with Great Britain. Opposite processes were observed in the north, until in 1972 the Northern Irish Parliament was dissolved. The fullness of power in the region passed into the hands of the British authorities; in fact, Northern Ireland was controlled directly from London. In the 20th century, in Northern Ireland, there was an increase in self-awareness of not only of Irish and British, but also of Catholics and Protestants, which shifted the conflict from a purely ethno-political to an ethno-confessional one, and worsened the identity situation on the island. In this regard, the corresponding right-wing parties and organizations gained great popularity among the local population.

the california missions began in the late 18th century as an effort to convert native americans to catholicism and expand european territory. there were 21 missions in all, lasting from 1769 until about 1833.   the missions were built by the spanish starting in 1769 in order to “colonize” the territory of alta california. so the missions were important because they were the means of settling california. it also wanted to keep other european countries out of alta california. building settlements along the coast would them meet these goals. missionaries wanted to convert the indians to the roman catholic faith. california indians did much of the work to build missions.
