Battle of Connor
So you know how sometimes people don't agree on things, like what games to play or what to watch on TV? Sometimes when groups of people disagree a lot, they end up having a fight with each other. That's kind of what happened in the Battle of Connor.
A really long time ago, back in the 1600s, there were two groups in Ireland - the English Protestants and the Irish Catholics. They didn't like each other very much and they fought a lot. One day, the English Protestants were having a meeting in a town called Connor. But then the Irish Catholics heard about it and they didn't like what the Protestants were talking about. So they decided to go to Connor and fight with them.
When the Irish Catholics got to Connor, the English Protestants were ready for them. They had built a big wall around the town to protect themselves. The Irish Catholics tried to break through the wall and get to the Protestants, but the Protestants were too strong. They had guns and swords and things to protect themselves. The fight went on for hours and lots of people got hurt.
In the end, the English Protestants won the Battle of Connor. They were very happy because they had protected themselves and their town. But the Irish Catholics were very sad because they had lost. The battle was important because it showed how much the English Protestants and Irish Catholics didn't get along. It was a sad time in Ireland's history, but people today try to remember the past so they can work towards a more peaceful future.
