Question

what were the consequences of british rule in ireland in the 1700s?○ anglo-irish citizens came to be accepted throughout ireland.○ irish rulers quickly ended the rebellion and brought about peace.○ religious and ethnic groups experienced rising tension and conflict.○ conflict in ireland was political in nature rather than cultural or religious.

Explanation:

In 1700s Ireland, British rule enforced discriminatory laws (like the Penal Laws) targeting Catholic Irish, while Anglo-Irish Protestant elites held power. This created deep divides between the majority Catholic population and the ruling Protestant/Anglo-Irish groups, leading to growing religious and ethnic tension and conflict. The other options are incorrect: Anglo-Irish were an elite, not accepted broadly; Irish rulers did not end rebellions (British controlled Ireland); the conflict was heavily tied to religious/cultural divides, not just political.

Answer:

Religious and ethnic groups experienced rising tension and conflict.
