James Craig, 1st Viscount Craigavon PC PC (NI) DL (8 January 1871 – 24 November 1940), was a leading Irish unionist and a key architect of Northern Ireland as a devolved region within the United Kingdom. During the Home Rule Crisis of 1912–14, he defied the British government in preparing an armed resistance in Ulster to an all-Ireland parliament. He accepted partition as a final settlement, securing the opt out of six Ulster counties from the dominion statehood accorded Ireland under the terms of the 1921 Anglo-Irish Treaty. From then until his death in 1940, he led the Ulster Unionist Party and served Northern Ireland as its first Prime Minister. He publicly characterised his administration as a "Protestant" counterpart to the "Catholic state" nationalists had established in the south. C

  • James Craig, född 8 januari 1871 i Belfast, död 24 november 1940 i Glencraig, Down, var en nordirländsk politiker. Då brittiska parlamentet den 23 januari 1920 antagit Government of Ireland act, enligt vilken Nordirland, utgörande sex grevskap av Ulster, skulle få eget parlament, övertog Craig ledarskapet över Nordirlands unionister efter Edward Henry Carson för att förbereda den nya aktens ikraftträdande. När sedan parlamentet öppnade 7 juli 1921, blev Craig prime minister för Belfastregeringen. Mot alla planer på förening med eller eftergifter för republiken Irland ställde han sig helt avvisande. Hans hållning ledde även till att frågan om gränsreglering 1925 definitivt förkastades, varför i stället Storbritannien gav Nordirland vissa ekonomiska fördelar. (sv)
