The conquest of the island was completed early in the 17th century. It involved the confiscation of land from the native Irish Catholics and its <a href="/wiki/Plantations_of_Ireland" title="Plantations of Ireland">colonisation by Protestant settlers</a> from Britain. Catholic countries at the time did not <a href="/wiki/Diplomatic_recognition" title="Diplomatic recognition">recognise</a> Protestant monarchs as kings of Ireland. </p><p>For most of the kingdom's history, the Irish Catholic majority suffered official discrimination:<sup id="cite_ref-irsoc_8-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-irsoc-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> under the <a href="/wiki/Penal_laws_(Ireland)" title="Penal laws (Ireland)">penal laws</a>, Catholicism was suppressed and Catholics were barred from government, parliament, the military, and most public offices. This was one of the main drivers behind the <a href="/wiki/Irish_Confederate_Wars" title="Irish Confederate Wars">Irish Confederate Wars</a> (1641–53), during which the <a href="/wiki/Confederate_Ireland" title="Confederate Ireland">Irish Catholic Confederates</a> controlled most of Ireland.
