Ireland(s): A 2-Part Story about War and Peace | FULL DOCUMENTARY | EPISODE 1

In 2016 the Irish will celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Easter Rising, the insurrection that gave birth to the Republic of Ireland and has come to symbolize the fight against British occupation.
These days the guns are silent and the war in Northern Ireland is a thing of the past. The peace process has been stumbling forward since 1998, and while it has been challenging and patience-trying, it has also helped people open up and widen their perspective.
Ireland(s): The Rise of a Nation is a two-part documentary that takes an up-close look at one of the most significant conflicts of the late 20th century. It tells the story of this tormented island through moving interviews with people who lived through the conflict: both republicans and loyalists, men and women, politicians and freedom fighters, and simple bystanders. They give us their views on Ireland’s troubled past and discuss their own role in the violence, either as perpetuators or victims. They also share their fears for their island home, along with their hopes for a peaceful future.
Part One tells the story of the key events and upheavals in the century that started with the 1916 Easter Rising and closed with the signing of the peace agreement in April 1998. We go from the War of Independence, to the British-imposed partition of the island, to the crushing of the Irish resistance with the 1969 riots. This broad overview ends with the last thirty years in the conflict, the bloodiest and most widely mediatized years in Ireland’s history. This overview will have a personal tone, thanks to first-hand accounts from men and women who lived through the key events of the past century, often participating in the fighting and sometimes making the dreadful choice of resorting to violence to make their voices heard and have their rights recognized. Their stories help us understand why people go to war and what drives them to keep on fighting, despite the suffering, doubts and death.

42:20 the short interview with Mrs Sands (Bobby Sands' Mother) is very sad to see. Bobby has become a folk hero, his name is known in every household in Ireland. Seeing his Mother's pain in the days before his death really brings home the sacrifice that was made. It takes a very brave & principled man to see a hunger strike through death.

An Irish warrior who fought the British in Ireland, 100 years ago, wrote the following about his foreign oppressors,,,,"the fools, the fools, the fools, they have left us our Fenian dead." ,,,,,Fenian means being a member of the Irish Republican Brotherhood. What he was saying was the fact that for every Fenian the brits killed, ten more joined the ranks. No one can destroy Hamas because their numbers will soon be ten fold. By the way, the name of that brave Irish warrior, Wolf Tone. I am sure you can find him on google.

Your history is a bit skewed. Wolf Tone was executed in 1798 after the uprising of that year, and many years before the Fenians of the 1867 rising. You are referring to an oration given by Patrick Pearce at the funeral of the Fenian Jeremiah O'Donovan Rossa in 1915. Patrick Pearce was executed for his part in the 1916 Easter rising.

Troubles will start again im afraid from the unionists again

[@arthurgoodness7865]

Not that simple. If the Brits just left Northern Ireland like you suggest, what reaction would you expect from the Unionist/Loyalist population? They would not be happy and there would be violence. Any changes to the political status of Northern Ireland must follow the criteria set out in the Belfast Agreement. A majority of the population must want to exit the United Kingdom and there is no evidence that this threshold has been met. Then you also need a majority in Ireland to support a united Ireland. As someone who has lived in Ireland my entire life, it is not something that I would vote for.

[@breenirwin2356]

@@arthurgoodness7865 it is a very complicated issue no doubt but my point was if a majority do vote for a reunification as the Catholic nationalist minority has ever so slightly become a majority and most likely will so in near future. If it is accepted legally the unionist paramilitaries UVF UDA etc will not accept it and will bomb shot etc just out of curiosity why wouldn't you vote for it surely any irishman would the Uk Westminster government doesn't want anything to do with the North in reality it is a burden to them the majority of English people on the mainland would happily accept it rejoining with Ireland

[@arthurgoodness7865]

@@breenirwin2356 whether people on the “mainland” want Northern Ireland or not is irrelevant. They won’t have a say on the future political status of Northern Ireland. Westminster’s hands are tied. They can’t just “offload” Northern Ireland, as to do so would cost lives. The UK Government is a co-guarantor of the Good Friday Agreement. They have agreed to the terms of the GFA. Northern Ireland may be a burden to the UK Government, but it is a burden created by Westminster and so they must live with the financial consequences. Rightly or wrongly partition happened. Unification is not the solution to any of the issues present in Northern Ireland today. I had sympathy for all of the families who lost loved ones during the troubles. But I don’t consider any of them fellow Irish citizens. The six counties have never been part of the country Ireland since it fought for and won its independence over 100 years ago. If a unification Referendum is held in my lifetime, then I would vote against it. There are no benefits for Ireland, just financial implications and increased security risks. Northern Ireland remains part of the UK and I don’t see why that should change.

Highly unlikely, we would have got home rule similar to what Scotland have now but it would never have been enough. We would have used that to push for full independence. Although it may have happened much later than 1921. That said, perhaps if they were not assassinated then partition would never have happened and Ireland would be whole today.
