Irish War of Independence | 3 Minute History

And Civil War

[@Slimy102cp]

You should do a separate video ''The troubles in 3 minutes'' between 1969-1998. There was much fighting and deaths, worth covering In my opinion

[@JabzyJoe]

+um I started writing a script, but I'm hesitant to put it out.

[@Slimy102cp]

why?

[@Slimy102cp]

it's actually quite interesting topic, the fact that they had brigades in all different counties of Northern Ireland, living normal lives by day and a IRA member by night.

[@pastafiend845]

I agree. It's a topic that many people are confused about including myself. I'd really like to see a video explaining it.

[@papadoc711]

As far as my reading of history goes the flag of Ireland "the Irish tricolor" was given to one of the leading members of the young Irelanders (Thomas Francis Meagher) by the women of the 2nd French Republic who were sympathetic to their cause. The green represents the Irish Gaelic traditions, the orange representing the British settlers and supporters of William of Orange and the white representing the peace between the two groups.

[@thepumking365]

papadoc711 it was but it had been adobted by the IRB during the 1916 rising and then declared tge national flag

[@johncleary7989]

In fairness, as a life long Southern Citizen and Constitutional Republican, that's, surprisingly, a succinct and clear assessment.

[@binaway]

British government records are usually released after 100 years, ie next year. An exception are the records for the Irish War of Independence which are sealed for 135 years. It is claimed to protect the family of Irish people who cooperated with the British authorities. The release will probably add a lot of information for historians to study and maybe change our knowledge of what happened.

[@TehMJB]

Minor mistake, the Irish Citizen Army was formed in 1913 to protect the workers on strike during the 1913 Lockout. It was not created as a reaction to the Ulster Volunteers. Great video by the way.

JAY FRANCIS something I've never understood about unionist is they act like we would oppress you if we reunited ... newsflash we have 10k soldiers total we do not have the military capacity to oppress you and we are generally quite liberal if we reunited protestants would probably have autonomy ( if the majority of people agreed to it )

I’m still learning this history. It’s a bit confusing to a Protestant Republican in the United States who fought the British for our own independence…

[@ShubhamSingh-ie7fb]

British did the same political game in india.... they were very good in that because people never unites. But unlike Ireland they exploit indian economy brutally

[@BenJamin-rt7ui]

And without the British, how has India's society and economy evolved? Not been that great has it? Why do you suppose that is?

[@corkboy4523]

They exploited Ireland’s food produce in the 1840s and caused a “famine”. It was closer to genocide with thousands of British troop guarding the ports where an abundance of meat, vegetables, dairy produce etc was exported to Britain while the Irish were left to starve.

[@OblivionImperialGuard]

Interesting to see the country im from fighting for independence still one of my favourite wars to learn about.

[@thomassugg3422]

I’m English my maternal Great grandmother was Irish she was born in Dublin in 1926. Her dad my maternal Great Great Grandfather was born in Dublin in 1896 he joined the British army in 1915 and served at the Somme in 1916 in 1917 he was injured and was sent back to Ireland in 1920 his house was destroyed by British soldiers and one of his children was killed. In the civil war he was on the governments side.

[@thornimation5492]

That's a shame. I'm British and that saddens me. If only the British hadn't been so repressive of the Irish at that time.

[@annmariehughes6445]

+Jabzy the black and tans were also convicts

[@thepumking365]

ann marie hughes they were unimployed english ww1 veterans

[@thepumking365]

@Rowan O'Mullane I'm not calling them veterans to evoke some kind of sympathetic response for the shell-shocked, it's just what they were. The black and tans and auxies were both formed on the suggestion of Winston Churchill to clear up the streets of out of work veterans and handle the internal unrest in Ireland, it was really a shrewd way of killing two birds with one stone. A lot of the violence that the black and tans showed the Irish people came from the fact they were hardened by the war and used to these barbaric actions. It also had a large part to do with the fact that there was a view that Irish republicans were ungrateful of their part in the UK and had not played their due part in the war effort by protesting conscription. To the black and tans the republicans were draft dodgers who were trying to break up a kingdom that they had spent four years fighting for. Every reprisal they made was barbaric and the lowest form of despicable, but none the less that was their background.

[@thepumking365]

@Rowan O'Mullane I'm Irish, I know too well the state that it puts people in especially down south, my granny lived on the cork/Kerry border almost all of her life, she was born in 1921 and was too young to remember that period of Irish history but you could tell she grew up with it all around her

[@alucat11]

I like to think the British government at the time used partition to plant chaos in former colonies out of spite for losing them, they also divided India and Pakistan, using borders and religious differences to spark long, painful conflicts imho

[@thomasalvarez6456]

Pseudo Nym It’s because they always thought they making countries with defined ethnic groups would be better but just made problems worse. The mindset of everyone was different back then.

[@BenJamin-rt7ui]

Very candid of you to admit this is what you like to think, rather than it being the actual truth.

[@ShyanTheLegend]

the drawings are actually pretty fucking good. youve got the proportions and anatomy right

[@th33ninja]

Love these series. Keep Up the good work!

[@stilianjordanov2952]

The British rule over Ireland dates back all the way into the second half of the 12th century when King Henry II of England claimed the island of Ireland as its lordship. The Kings of England continued to rule Ireland as the Lord of Ireland until in the 16th century when King Henry VIII Tudor changed his title from the Lord of Ireland to the King of Ireland in order to assume better control over his ever Catholic Irish subjects.

I don't understand why people are so crazy about Irish reunification these days. There's free trade, travel and relations are good. We have a common culture with the republic and those who want to be independent are, and these who don't are not. Can't we all just get along in this new peaceful isle?

[@ImSorryFive]

Yeah we can get along, and we can peacefully unify the Island but that's what Irish people want, our whole Island again. And I think it will happen, I hope in my lifetime but that remains to be seen. "those who want to be independent are, and these who don't are not" You're not from NI are you? I think you'll fine there's many people up North who aren't happy to be under British rule, a majority do want to be ruled by Britain for sure but let's not pretend everyone in the North is a British Unionist and it's only the evil South that wants them to be part of Ireland.

[@thomasalvarez6456]

ImSorryFive But not everyone wants that. That’s why we have unionists. The majority of people in the U.K. don’t care about Northern Ireland anymore, like all of Ireland it was more trouble than it was worth. It costs more than to keep, after all what government first bailed out the Irish economy in 2007?

Everyone in this comment section pretending that this is simple and one side or the other are all to blame is an idiot. The North itself remains divided on weather to be loyal to the UK or the republic. Real life problems are complicated and will be resolved through understanding and civilised discussion, not bloodshed. The people of the UK and Ireland both share a responsibility to grow up and engage honestly with the nuances of the issues.

[@guilty_mulburry5903]

you forgot the Irish republican brotherhood, there remains founded the IRA, the old one. and the black and tans where in Ireland during the Easter rising, don't believe Wikipedia, the IRA broke up after the troubles becoming many splinter groups, the Provisional IRA, the Real IRA, the IRA, ultimately the Provos (that is what we call the provisional in Ireland) got the most troops, and they let anyone who wanted in, in, this lead to the end of the IRA war on drugs, where if they caught a dealer, they would 'cap' him by placing a pistol or revolver behind his knee, and pulling the trigger, permanently crippling them so everyone would know that he was a dealer, and causing a life of pain, the Provisional started getting cocaine from the USSR to sell on the streets, during the cold war, the USSR, who backed any group, not just communists who wanted to undermine a capitalist government, had supplied the IRA with weapons, some of which are still being found e.g. two years ago a box of Russian made grenade launchers where dug up, they had obviously been forgotten about, as they where extremely old and rusted, now days they are a minor disturbance in the north as they are losing more members (because they retire from the IRA) than they are gaining

[@RobertK1993]

Dimbles No Britain wants Ireland in the UK not Ireland they can’t stand Irish democracy and independence they want the Irish be like the Scots and Welsh under the English thumb. English want to rule world so they made up the term British make Scots and the Welsh and Ulster Unionists to feel better about being under english rule.

[@dimbles8912]

+Robert Kelly Not sure where you got that persecution complex from... Ireland has been free for a long time. No-one in the UK has a burning desire for it to re-join, as there it would not be beneficial. After all, the Republic of Ireland uses the euro and has a totally different culture, not to mention the fact that its economy is not exactly cast-iron.

[@RobertK1993]

Dimbles It was close bankruptcy not now 5 years in politics and economic growth make more successful then the UK by way Euro will last no way rich elite going to let it die. Culturally UK and Ireland are identical because Scotland and Wales are celtic.

[@thepumking365]
