December 5, 1921

The treaty established the self-governing Irish Free State but still made Ireland a dominion under the British Crown. The treaty also gave the six counties of Northern Ireland, which had been acknowledged in the 1920 Government of Ireland Act, the option to opt out of the Irish Free State and remain part of England, which they opted for.
