THE EASTER RISING

BY ETHAN , SARAH AND DANIEL

World war 1 began in 1914.

10,000 Irish volunteers

refused to fight for Britain in

the war.

The Irish volunteers held

regular parades.

James Connolly ran the

ICA. (IRISH CITIZEN ARMY)

THE BUILD UP

On Good Friday!

The captain scuttled

the ship because it was

going into enemies

hands.

The IRB’s weapons

were on the boat.

THE BUILD UP CONTINUED

Men marched towards the GPO

(general post office) on Easter

Monday and took over it.

People thought it was only an

other parade but they thought

wrong!

They had a mixture of weapons

ranging from shot guns to rifles.

Patrick Pearse read out the

Proclamation.

THE RISING

The men also took over

other buildings such as

Jacobs Biscuit factory.

The British troops

surrounded the city.

A boat attack Liberty Hall

and two hundred British

soldiers were killed.

THE RISING CONTINUED!

On Thursday James

Connolly got seriously

wounded.

The GPO burns down.

The Irish surrendered.

INDEPENDENCE

(at last!)

CONSCRIPTION ACTThe conscription act

forced people to join the

British army ( VERY

unfair)!

It was passed because

nobody joined the army in

Ireland.

Many organisations

were against it.

The volunteers had been

fighting since the Easter

rising.

They were reorganised by

Micheal Collins.

Micheal Collins

masterminded the Irish

volunteers.

It lasted for 2 years.

THE WAR OF INDEPENDENCE

One group of soldiers were

called the black and tans

because of their colour of their

uniform.

The other group was called

The Auxiliaries.

The IRA continued to

ambush the police, the black

and tans and the Auxiliaries.

THE BLACK AND TANS

As well as the loss of life,

war damaged the Irish

Economy.

Many firms closed down and

jobs were lost.

Lloyd George, British Prime

Minister divided Ireland into 2

parliaments, Protestant and

Catholic.

PARTITION

The war started in 1922.

It ended in 1923 in May.

The Dáil debated the

treaty until the 7th of

January 1922 and decided to

accept it by 64 votes to 57.

Eamonn De Valera refused

to accept it.

THE CIVIL WAR FIRE!
