By then, however, the Great War had broken out: the Act was suspended for the duration of the war, with the violent Ulster opposition to it still unresolved.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut the war changed everything. Over thirty thousand Irish troops died. A radical Nationalist minority rebelled against British rule at Easter 1916, an event that established itself as the foundation date of a new, more assertive nationalism. In 1918 Sinn féin supplanted the old Nationalist Party and formed it's own Assembly in Dublin. At the same time the IRA began and armed campaign against British Rule.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy 1922, Britain had withdrawn from twenty-six of the Thirty-two counties of Ireland which now constituted the Irish Free State. The Ulster problem had, however, never been resolved. The result was partition and the establishment of two states on the island - - something unthinkable fifteen years eryler.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe years of the Irish revolution were the crucible of modern Ireland. Richard Killeen's authoritative survey of the period is an ideal introduction to this tumultuous time. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"An Fhuiseog \/ The Lark Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43443048710299,"sku":"","price":11.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0564\/5212\/0731\/files\/irish_rev_killeen.png?v=1688551297","url":"https:\/\/anfhuiseog.ie\/products\/a-short-history-of-the-irish-revolution-1912-1927","provider":"An Fhuiseog \/ The Lark Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
