[@lurk7967]

boys in blue the RIC was essentially a hired mercenary force loyal to the crown 'm gonna copy and paste a small article titled "Ireland 1916: how 800 years of British rule led to violent rebellion" "On Easter Monday, April 24, 1916, the streets of Dublin were transformed into a war zone. About 1,200 Irish rebels rose up against 20,000 British troops in a doomed attempt to throw off centuries of British colonial rule. The Easter Rising may have failed in that moment, but the brutality of the British response so disgusted and angered the people of Ireland that Irish independence became inevitable. On this edition of The Enright Files, we revisit some highlights of a two-hour special commemorating the 100th anniversary of the Easter Rising last year. The first to die in the rebellions was a 19-year-old Irish nurse named Margaret Keogh. Shot by a British sniper as she tended to a wounded rebel. As the week went on, ordinary men and women heard machine gun and cannon fire, saw bullet-riddled bodies lying in the streets, and watched in anger as their city centre was reduced to fiery ruins and looters trashed their favourite shopping areas. Relatively few Dubliners really understood what was happening or what the Rising was about. Most, it seems, were indifferent to the cause, or outright opposed to it. By the time the fighting ended the following Saturday, 485 people had been killed. Most of the dead were civilians, including a number of children. The Irish Republic, declared just five days earlier by rebel leader Patrick Pearse, was dead. For now. Had the British stayed their hand and let the vanquished rebels live, the Easter Rising would likely have become yet another colourful and violent footnote in Ireland's colonial history. But the British army systematically executed 15 rebel leaders, one by one, after show trials in the days that followed. In the most infamous case, the British took the badly wounded rebel James Connolly from his hospital bed, tied him to a chair at Kilmainham Jail, and executed him by firing squad. It was the methodical brutality displayed by the British that finally roused the Irish at large to anger and rebellion, even those who had been against the Rising. The Easter Rising in Dublin 100 years ago was a disaster if understood only as a failed military engagement. In the century since, The Easter Rising has come to be remembered and celebrated as a moment of national sacrifice by a handful of doomed patriots who dared challenge the mightiest empire on earth after centuries of British colonial rule. It would lead to the War of Independence against Britain, a fateful peace treaty and home rule, and by 1949, to the Republic of Ireland. Whether it was a military fiasco or whether it pierced the 800-year darkness of British oppression, the Rising of Easter Week 1916 changed everything. In the words of Wiliam Butler Yeats, the unofficial poet laureate of the Rising, a terrible beauty was born." and on top of that after the executions Sir John Maxwell, the General Officer commanding the British forces in Ireland, sent a telegram to H. H. Asquith, then Prime Minister, advising him not to return the bodies of the Pearse brothers to their family, saying, "Irish sentimentality will turn these graves into martyrs' shrines to which annual processions will be made, which would cause constant irritation in this country.[28] Maxwell also suppressed a letter from Pearse to his mother,[29] and two poems dated 1 May 1916. He submitted copies of them also to Prime Minister Asquith, saying that some of the content was "objectionable" You can and should have disdain for the IRA but yu should also realize how fucked Britain was and still is and what lengths they went to hold onto their empire and continue getting their way when the people they were protecting just wanted to be themselves... They were imperialists and if that does not make you sick than were different

@@danbest2418 'm gonna copy and paste a small article titled "Ireland 1916: how 800 years of British rule led to violent rebellion" "On Easter Monday, April 24, 1916, the streets of Dublin were transformed into a war zone. About 1,200 Irish rebels rose up against 20,000 British troops in a doomed attempt to throw off centuries of British colonial rule. The Easter Rising may have failed in that moment, but the brutality of the British response so disgusted and angered the people of Ireland that Irish independence became inevitable. On this edition of The Enright Files, we revisit some highlights of a two-hour special commemorating the 100th anniversary of the Easter Rising last year. The first to die in the rebellions was a 19-year-old Irish nurse named Margaret Keogh. Shot by a British sniper as she tended to a wounded rebel. As the week went on, ordinary men and women heard machine gun and cannon fire, saw bullet-riddled bodies lying in the streets, and watched in anger as their city centre was reduced to fiery ruins and looters trashed their favourite shopping areas. Relatively few Dubliners really understood what was happening or what the Rising was about. Most, it seems, were indifferent to the cause, or outright opposed to it. By the time the fighting ended the following Saturday, 485 people had been killed. Most of the dead were civilians, including a number of children. The Irish Republic, declared just five days earlier by rebel leader Patrick Pearse, was dead. For now. Had the British stayed their hand and let the vanquished rebels live, the Easter Rising would likely have become yet another colourful and violent footnote in Ireland's colonial history. But the British army systematically executed 15 rebel leaders, one by one, after show trials in the days that followed. In the most infamous case, the British took the badly wounded rebel James Connolly from his hospital bed, tied him to a chair at Kilmainham Jail, and executed him by firing squad. It was the methodical brutality displayed by the British that finally roused the Irish at large to anger and rebellion, even those who had been against the Rising. The Easter Rising in Dublin 100 years ago was a disaster if understood only as a failed military engagement. In the century since, The Easter Rising has come to be remembered and celebrated as a moment of national sacrifice by a handful of doomed patriots who dared challenge the mightiest empire on earth after centuries of British colonial rule. It would lead to the War of Independence against Britain, a fateful peace treaty and home rule, and by 1949, to the Republic of Ireland. Whether it was a military fiasco or whether it pierced the 800-year darkness of British oppression, the Rising of Easter Week 1916 changed everything. In the words of Wiliam Butler Yeats, the unofficial poet laureate of the Rising, a terrible beauty was born." and on top of that after the executions Sir John Maxwell, the General Officer commanding the British forces in Ireland, sent a telegram to H. H. Asquith, then Prime Minister, advising him not to return the bodies of the Pearse brothers to their family, saying, "Irish sentimentality will turn these graves into martyrs' shrines to which annual processions will be made, which would cause constant irritation in this country.[28] Maxwell also suppressed a letter from Pearse to his mother,[29] and two poems dated 1 May 1916. He submitted copies of them also to Prime Minister Asquith, saying that some of the content was "objectionable" You can and should have disdain for the IRA but yu should also realize how fucked Britain was and still is and what lengths they went to hold onto their empire and continue getting their way when the people they were protecting just wanted to be themselves... They were imperialists and if that does not make you sick than were different
