Throughout history most local events, structures, and politics have been directly and indirectly influenced by external forces. Even in present day circumstances the speed of change dictated by European control will have a lasting and damaging effect on Irish culture, politics, and physical structures. Often historians devote effort into revealing the micro artifacts, and fail to appreciate the macro elements that shape and cause the development, thereby ignoring their genesis. This book attempts to widen the understanding of how County Donegal developed as a result of natural physical restraints, and the intrusion of external forces through the ages. It examines the physical built environment, cultural influence, and economic progress, and the resultant exploitation that largely continues even today.
