What was the 1916 Easter Rising in Ireland?
The 1916 Easter Rising was an armed insurrection staged by Irish republicans in Dublin during Easter Week in April 1916, aiming to establish an independent Irish Republic from British rule, though it was ultimately suppressed by the British Army. The Rising was led by figures like Patrick Pearse, Tom Clarke, and James Connolly, all prominent members of the Irish Republican Brotherhood (IRB) and other republican groups. Despite its military failure, the Easter Rising had a profound impact on Irish history, galvanizing support for Irish independence and contributing to the eventual establishment of the Irish Free State in 1922.
