This demand, however, was opposed by the leaders of Irish Unionism, who feared being placed under a <a href="/wiki/Rome_Rule" title="Rome Rule">Catholic-Nationalist</a> dominated Irish parliament in <a href="/wiki/Dublin" title="Dublin">Dublin</a>. For Unionists, the ultimate safeguard to prevent Home Rule had been the existence of the power of the <a href="/wiki/House_of_Lords" title="House of Lords">House of Lords</a> to veto legislation. The Lords, with an inbuilt pro-Unionist <a href="/wiki/Conservative_Party_(UK)" title="Conservative Party (UK)">Conservative Party</a> majority, exercised its veto, in 1893, to block the <a href="/wiki/Second_Home_Rule_Bill" class="mw-redirect" title="Second Home Rule Bill">Second Home Rule Bill</a>. </p><p>As a result of a reduction of its powers under the <a href="/wiki/Parliament_Act_1911" title="Parliament Act 1911">Parliament Act 1911</a>, the Lords' ability to veto Bills was greatly restricted. In 1912 the government of <a href="/wiki/H._H._Asquith" title="H. H. Asquith">H. H. Asquith</a> introduced the <a href="/wiki/Third_Home_Rule_Act" class="mw-redirect" title="Third Home Rule Act">Third Home Rule Bill</a>. Under the Parliament Act, the Lords could block a Bill for only three sessions. As a result, the Bill finally completed its passage and received the <a href="/wiki/Royal_Assent" class="mw-redirect" title="Royal Assent">Royal Assent</a> in mid-1914. </p><p>The threat that the Bill would this time become law led to protests among Unionists. The leaders of the opposition Conservative Party opted to play the "<a href="/wiki/Orange_Order" title="Orange Order">Orange Card</a>": in 1886, <a href="/wiki/Lord_Randolph_Churchill" title="Lord Randolph Churchill">Lord Randolph Churchill</a> had used the phrase: <i>"Ulster will fight and Ulster will be right"</i>. In 1912, leader <a href="/wiki/Bonar_Law" title="Bonar Law">Bonar Law</a> threatened to give support for whatever actions Unionists took, whether legal or illegal, to prevent home rule. </p><p>Illegal gun-running occurred among both unionists (<a href="/wiki/Larne_gunrunning" class="mw-redirect" title="Larne gunrunning">at Larne</a>) and nationalists (<a href="/wiki/Howth_gun-running" title="Howth gun-running">at Howth</a>), and both sides openly organised mass militia movements (the <a href="/wiki/Ulster_Volunteers" title="Ulster Volunteers">Ulster Volunteers</a> and the <a href="/wiki/Irish_Volunteers" title="Irish Volunteers">Irish Volunteers</a> respectively). Faced with what seemed to be imminent <a href="/wiki/Curragh_mutiny" class="mw-redirect" title="Curragh mutiny">civil war</a>, King George – a strong <a href="/wiki/Hibernophile" title="Hibernophile">Hibernophile</a> since his days as a naval officer based in <a href="/wiki/Cork_(city)" title="Cork (city)">Cork</a> – intervened to stop what be believed was the slide to civil war, and took the unprecedented step of inviting the leaders of both communities, along with the British government, to the Palace for a conference. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="The_Conference">The Conference</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Buckingham_Palace_Conference&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: The Conference"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The conference met in Buckingham Palace between 21 and 24 July 1914. Though the issue of home rule had been on the political agenda since the 1870s, the 1914 conference was the first formal peace conference involving both Nationalists and Unionists. Those who attended were the Prime Minister <a href="/wiki/H._H._Asquith" title="H. H. Asquith">H. H. Asquith</a>, <a href="/wiki/David_Lloyd_George" title="David Lloyd George">Lloyd George</a>, the <a href="/wiki/Irish_Parliamentary_Party" title="Irish Parliamentary Party">Irish Parliamentary Party</a> leader <a href="/wiki/John_Redmond" title="John Redmond">John Redmond</a>, his deputy, <a href="/wiki/John_Dillon" title="John Dillon">John Dillon</a>, across the table the leader of the <a href="/wiki/Irish_Unionist_Alliance" title="Irish Unionist Alliance">Irish Unionist Alliance</a>, <a href="/wiki/Edward_Carson" title="Edward Carson">Edward Carson</a> together with <a href="/wiki/Bonar_Law" title="Bonar Law">Bonar Law</a>, <a href="/wiki/James_Craig,_1st_Viscount_Craigavon" title="James Craig, 1st Viscount Craigavon">James Craig</a> and <a href="/wiki/Henry_Petty-Fitzmaurice,_6th_Marquess_of_Lansdowne" title="Henry Petty-Fitzmaurice, 6th Marquess of Lansdowne">Lord Lansdowne</a>.

He wrote to an associate:</p><blockquote><p> "I have rarely felt more helpless in any particular affair, an impasse with unspeakable consequences, upon a matter which to English eyes seems inconceivably small and to Irish eyes immeasurably big. Isn't it a real tragedy?"<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></p></blockquote> <p>The conference broke up after three days without agreement. The issue was whether <a href="/wiki/Fermanagh" title="Fermanagh">Fermanagh</a> and <a href="/wiki/County_Tyrone" title="County Tyrone">Tyrone</a> would be part of a proposed north-eastern state. All sides, however, stated that it had been a useful engagement, with Unionists and Nationalists for the first time having meaningful discussions on how to allay their fears about the other. A limited understanding emerged between Carson and the Nationalists that if Ulster were to be excluded, in its entirety, the province should come in or out as a whole.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The conference was overtaken by developments in Europe. Eleven days after the conference ended, the King declared war on Germany and Britain entered World War I. Parliament voted for the Home Rule Act and for its suspension for the war's duration.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>A further attempt to reach an understanding with Ulster was to prove equally unsuccessful during the 1917–18 <a href="/wiki/Irish_Convention" title="Irish Convention">Irish Convention</a>. This conference was seen to be a 'waste of time,' as it produced no agreement or resolutions; people saw it as a time for each party to slander the other. </p><p>In retrospect, the conference was the first occasion where the <a href="/wiki/Partition_of_Ireland" title="Partition of Ireland">Partition of Ireland</a> was discussed as a concrete political option. At the time it was envisioned as involving continued British rule over the whole island, with one part included in the autonomous "Home Rule" and another part excluded from it, while partition as finally realized in 1922 involved creating an international border between the <a href="/wiki/Irish_Free_State" title="Irish Free State">Irish Free State</a> (later <a href="/wiki/Irish_Republic" title="Irish Republic">Irish Republic</a>) and the British ruled <a href="/wiki/Northern_Ireland" title="Northern Ireland">Northern Ireland</a>. Still, the basic reason for the actual 1922 partition was the same as for the one discussed at Buckingham Palace eight years before - i.e. the total refusal of the Ulster Unionists to become part of a predominantly Irish Catholic entity, whether or not under an overall British rule. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Long-term_impact">Long-term impact</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Buckingham_Palace_Conference&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Long-term impact"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The King's idea of hosting all-party talks on Ireland had echoes in later negotiations that produced the power-sharing executive in the <a href="/wiki/Sunningdale_Agreement" title="Sunningdale Agreement">Sunningdale Agreement</a> in the 1970s, and in the negotiations that produced the <a href="/wiki/Belfast_Agreement" class="mw-redirect" title="Belfast Agreement">Belfast Agreement</a> in the late 1990s. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Later_interventions_by_George_V_on_Ireland">Later interventions by George V on Ireland</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Buckingham_Palace_Conference&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Later interventions by George V on Ireland"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>King George intervened on a number of subsequent occasions on Ireland.
