IRELAND
The famine was a watershed
The meek and mild become politicised
anglo irish war / Sinn Fein grows
Martial law / Grisly executions
1916 risings / 450 dead / 2614 wounded
Mood is
changed utterly
Catholic / anti-British feeling was unified
The battle of the bogside 1969- Protestant attack on Catholics
over 1MILLION died
2.25m emigrated
society broke down
the country starts to divide
the UK Govt DIDN'T HELP!
there was a fundamental failure to understand the SCALE of the problem
The First World Was decisive: a proposed peace plan was shelved
Pearse and Co call on Cuchulain / the spirit of Yeats
The Irish culture develops against what is seen as cold British philosophy
Also, northerners were left to
protect
the country and the southerners were sent to Flanders as fodder*
The solution? A 9 county idea - dropped to six, with Catholics marginalised
Dublin - develops spectacular slum areas / 25% of the population living in one room tenements
