About this event
Ireland 1922: 100 Year Anniversary of Irish Independence - Livestream
In 1922, after more than 700 years of British dominance over Ireland, the Irish Free State was established. We will discuss the long road to independence, the role the Great War played in the struggle, the 1916 Easter Rebellion, the Irish War for Independence, the establishment of the Irish Free State (that did not include Northern Ireland), the Irish Civil War that followed Independence, and then finally the establishment of the Republic of Ireland.
In the late 1880s, the push for Irish Home Rule was making strides in the British Parliament. Irish men had the right to vote in British Parliamentary elections and Irish Members of Parliament used their block of votes to advocate their position. In September of 1914, the British Parliament finally passed the Government of Ireland Act which would allow some independence but its implementation was postponed due to the outbreak of World War I. In April 1916, the failed Easter Rebellion called for a complete separation from Britain. In November of 1918, World War I ended and soon after the War of Irish Independence began. After two years of fighting, in December 1921, the Anglo-Irish Treaty was signed. The treaty did not provide full separation with the Britain Empire and Northern Ireland would NOT be part of Free Irish State but it was a better deal than the 1914 Government of Ireland Act. On January 16, 1922, members of the British Civil Service located at Dublin Castle symbolically turned over control to the new Irish Provisional Government. Not everyone in Ireland was happy with the Treaty and a short but very disruptive civil war soon followed. In 1937, a fully independent Republic of Ireland signed a new Constitution.
