description: "James Craig, 1st Viscount Craigavon, PC, PC (NI), DL, 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. Craig was created a baronet in 1918 and raised to the Peerage in 1927."
