About the Easter Rebellion in Ireland
Civil Rights , United Kingdom & Ireland
Ends: Apr 24, 2025
DESCRIPTION:
The Easter Rebellion, also known as the Easter Rising, was an armed insurrection in Dublin, Ireland, from April 24 to April 29, 1916. Irish republicans organized the uprising seeking to end British rule in Ireland and establish an independent Irish Republic.
The primary factions of dissent included two groups pressing for Irish independence, the Irish Republican Brotherhood (IRB) and the Irish Volunteers, along with the women's nationalists group Cumann na mBan.
The rebels seized key buildings in Dublin, including the General Post Office, which served as their headquarters. They declared an Irish Republic and raised the Irish tricolor flag over the building while engaging in street fighting with British troops and police, despite being heavily outnumbered and outgunned.
With artillery and machine guns, British forces quickly suppressed the uprising, forcing the rebels to surrender after six days of fighting. The leaders of the rebellion were subsequently arrested and tried for treason. Fifteen were executed by firing squad, including the seven Irish Proclamation of Independence signatories.
The Easter Rebellion was a significant event in Irish history and marked a turning point in the struggle for Irish independence. It helped to galvanize support for the republican cause and paved the way for the establishment of the Irish Free State in 1922. The leaders of the rebellion, who became known as the "1916 Martyrs," are still revered as heroes by many in Ireland today.
AFTER THE REBELLION
Northern Ireland remained part of Great Britain after 1949, but its Catholic citizens were discriminated against, leading to growing resentment. Political advocacy and later fighting continued with the formation of the Irish Republican Army (IRA) and through the already established political party, the Sinn Féin. The fighting became particularly violent in the 1970s and 80s. This period of fighting between 1969 and 1998 is collectively called "The Troubles."
During the 1990s, both groups focused on political rather than military solutions, and on July 28, 2005, the IRA announced they would put down their weapons. The British Government and Northern Ireland achieved peace in the Fall of 2006, 90.5 years after the Easter Rebellion.
