Also, interestingly.. the rebels who led the rebellion were booed and jeered at as they were taken through the streets of Dublin. Most Irish didn't support these rather hapless nationalists and their 'casual comedy' of an urpising. Ireland WAS NOT all behind them at all. But then, the British soldiers executed the leaders and that changed everything. 'All changed. Changed utterly. A terrible beauty is born'.
@VeritasEngine It actually was supported, until violence led onto the street. Then people wanted to stop. But it was the fact that they executed the leaders each day that rose anger. And I am so proud of the people that fought for freedom of my country, and any Irishman should.
However, most people conflate Republicanism with Nationalism - they were distinct. The Nationalists wanted devolved power (Home Rule), the Republicans wanted secession / independence. Only a minority were Republicans, most were Nationalist. The men behind 1916 were members of the Republican Brotherhood, as such their actions didn't have too much support at the time.
@VeritasEngine They were not booed. Ireland was in crisis at them time, people throughout the country supported them, but some of the in Dublin thought it would be a "small" rebellion, that nothing would happen, already poor they thought that would be punished by the British if they supported it, but about 4,500 people showed up that day, and when innocent people were killed in the streets people supported them. And when they were executed, they had enough of the Brits executing our people.
@VeritasEngine Few spelling mistakes from my comment before, but I am studying history. The reason that not as much people supported it in the capital is because they were all very poor,and they thought if they supported what they thought was a "failed" rising that they would be punished.But the people had enough of people being executed by the British and supported, and rightly so.All throughout the history of our land we were supposed to be, it was only a matter of time.Soon the north aswell.
Ireland would be united if it wasn't for religion. Religion is to blame, plain and simple, and what a complete non-surprise that is. The great divider of people and societies. Fuel for the ignorant. Religion? Shit it!
All that fighting just to end up giving up the powers they fought for and handing them to the European Union. Shame for Ireland. They struggled and forged their own national identity, I understand why they wanted out of the union- because it wasn't mutual, it was a capitulation rather than a union. Still, after all that they devolve it all to the EU. Foolish politicians believed in the 'Celtic tiger' myth and bankrupted the country. Now they're on their arse again and without sovereignty.Lame.
What is this shit? Baffles me how anyone can venerate a bunch of nobody miscreants rebelling at the height of the Great War. The Easter Rising was completely inconsequential.
just thank fuck your in an MEDC country where you can leave safely, you morons... i bet millions of poor africans ect would love to live in northern island, and they wouldnt be twats about it
and now we have a worse well as bad a dictarship in control we should rise against ff and fg and get our freedom in culture and land the irish goverments are bullys and brit lovers and the garda too. its like britain withoout the flag
We the Finns kicked the arses of the Russian... And not only in hockey but in Winter War: Shite for all of those who will neglegt the small but proud nations! GO IRELAND AND FINLAND!!!!!!
Surely the biggest obstacle today is the Republic winning back it's sovereign status from the EU before it gets the 6 counties ? Irish courts now use EU law & every new EU law that is passed by Brussels, has to be enshrined in what was Irish law. The banks are run at the behest of the EU, the elected politicians now do what Brussels tells them to do or they lose their jobs, Ireland's currency is in most parts German & the blue & yellow flag now flies over most regional government buildings.
Reading some of the fucking bilge on this page I don't know whether to piss myself laughing or weep in despair. Respect for each others history and respect for brave men yes. For fuck's sake let's damp down the sectarian ism - it leads to nothing but pain in the end.
@smthssarmour thats easy for you to say,youd never know what side your on......your history has not once ounce of respect from me,sectarianism is not randomly deposited on two different races,the only sectariansim we show is resistance,if thats racism then im a racist.
@eire1916rf I'm very clear about what 'side' I'm on thanks - hopefully that of realism and common sense. Being half English, half Irish will do that to you. For now I'll assume you're a more thoughtful and rational than the fucking idiot you sound like. Unlike you, I give great respect to Irish history - it always pays to understand the man who calls himself your enemy and accept that in the past he had cause to think himself so. I'll continue this in the next post.
@eire1916rf Continued - You say the only sectarianism you show is resistance. To what exactly? Personally I think the Six Counties should have been Eire's a long time ago. Thing is, there's rather a lot of Ulster Prods (and Catholics) who wouldn't agree. While they feel that way, the North will stay part of the UK. Killing policemen and shooting the odd few Brit soldiers will achieve nothing.
@smthssarmour so the best thing to do would be to sit quiet and wait for people's opinions to change?please,show your irish side,give your brothers an insite in your solution to their problem.
@eire1916rf A United Ireland will never be achieved through military action - not while it appears that the majority of people in the Six Counties want to stay part of the UK. That was obvious even in 1922. The solution has got to be political.
@smthssarmour hows that going to work if theres a protestant government in stormont?you can say its not about religion but unfortunately it is....we expecting sinn féin in power any time soon?
@eire1916rf I agree with you - but what other options are there - realistic options I mean. The gun can only take you so far. Collins realised that in 1922. The Catholics in the Six Counties have got to make their voices heard - peacefully. If they want to be part of a United Ireland then they need to show that they outnumber those who don't. With enough peaceful protest and enough campaigning there will have to be another referrendum - continued in next post -
@eire1916rf - continued - And this time the Republicans in the North have got to come out and vote - not boycott like they did in 1973. Of course, the state of Eire's economy right now isn't a big selling point but that won't last for ever. If you go back to the armed struggle you lose it all. And what worries me is that next time it won't be the British Army coming after the players, it'll be your own people.
@smthssarmour i think theres a percentage of catholics in the RIRA that want only a united Ireland but if there are any put off by our corrupt economy i mean.......surely its not about economics,if that stops so called republicans from voting then the RIRA is an excuse for crime and drug trade,i do agree with you though,I just dont see how they can be perpared to turn to the gun but not prepared to vote.
@eire1916rf There will never be a united Ireland as long as the south remains the corrupt state that it is. The brown envelope and backhander mentality has to be got rid off .The catholic church will have to be radically reformed or thrown out and replaced by a proper christrian church that is answerable to the people.
The people of the north particulary protestants will have to be shown the benefit of a united Ireland,especially economically.
Long Live Ireland, Strong and Free! My famous Irish ancestor, Thomas James Clarke, was responsible for the Easter Rising, and was executed by firing squad, seen in the video.
Proves that actions far, far in the past can have repercussions long into the future. If the English government hadn't tried to claim Ireland in the first place, centuries ago, none of this would've happened. Human greed is sickening.
these men stood up, against all odds,against even the advice of fellow Irish volunteers against the wishes of wives and worried girlfriends.many didnt even know the rising was for real until the last minute! Then and there it was fight or flee, and they fought like true celtic warriors, outnumbered ,spat on and shat on they had each other and the resolution and insight to know that what they did then they would be thanked for for centuries to come. They died to become immortal!
@Girvy us welsh laugh at your ironic use of the word british...........the welsh and the cornish cultures are the true britons ...cau dy geg a fuck off with your germanic culture....bunch of wannabe usurpers
why do you support a united irerland? it is hippocrosy to say british cannot impose rule on ireland when they dont want it, but to the majority of ulster who wish to stay with britain (where they are no caught up in the euro crisis) to say 'you will succumb to a unted ireland. in the 19th century ireland was economically backward (i.e. the famine was based on the monoculture of the potatoe crop, fair enough as well as british incompetence) and ulster was superior
@paulcapon It's Not ULSTER..... but Northern Ireland you are talking of...The Province of Ulster...is Nine Counties... Donegal, Monaghan and Cavan being those in The Republic....Northern Ireland was drawn up on a secterian headcount after fifty years of despotic missrule it imploded as i couldn't effect democratic change...
@JordoF6 why the fuck should i show respect for fucking rebels?
Yea the you said it "for your country" they wernt fighting for there country if they where they would be off fighting in the wars not fucking having a rebellion... they where fighting for land not a country.
@freaky1441 Ah typical english thickhead yeah? i am not going to associate myself with a hated murderous people gooday sir.You clearly do not understand irish culture idiot.
@JordoF6 Just like the Irish murdered, harassed & assaulted southern Protestants until they felt compelled to leave? Congratulations, the Irish hold the title for the only people to ethnically cleanse a minority in the history of the British Isles. When oh when will these Irish face up to their history instead of creating these elaborate myths.
@CharlesDilkes Would never had happend if the planters didn't come over and i'm scotish not irish i am ashamed of those fucking shitarses in NI,who worship the english.
@JordoF6 No, it would never have happened if those IRA men didn't pull the trigger and put a bullet through a defenseless Protestant farmer. Linking events that happened 300-400 years previously is so fuckin' dumb I can hardly believe you even suggested it.
@JordoF6 Nice one you moron for missing the point. You people are so fuckin' clueless about Ireland, the Anglo-Irish War and Irish history in general.
@CharlesDilkes Nope, just hanging around generally being better than you in every regard. Not just me, there's a whole load of us here laughing at you, you ignorant racist pig.
A man, a good man who fought for what was right, who pledged his life to the ordinary hard worker, spoke up for the rights and welfare of the working class, a selfless, good hearted man. Shot, wounded, in agony.
Tied to a chair, like a dying dog, and shot to pieces by the rifles of a foreign oppressor.
those men of 1916 are heros,but dont forget the people of dublin came out and fired eggs spat at them and shouted abuse at them when the english army caught them
tears are the streams that make our grass green . our mother is the land of our deepest love .......... fhéadfadh tú lobhadh i hIfreann David Lloyd George & Winston Churchill ,
Most of the people of Ireland before the Easter Rising didn't really support the rebels. It was the execution of Pearse, Clark, ConNolly, and the others that really got the populaiton hating the British, and wanting to drive tham out.
GOD SPEED TO THE EXECUTED LEADERS OF THE EASTER RISING!!!!!!!!!!!!
Damn the English for their atrocities! Legitimate soldiers treated as "terrorists", because they had the bravery to stand up to the bloated, arrogant bastard that was the British Government.
@BostonEm why do you support a united irerland? it is hippocrosy to say british cannot impose rule on ireland when they dont want it, but to the majority of ulster who wish to stay with britain (where they are no caught up in the euro crisis) to say 'you will succumb to a unted ireland. in the 19th century ireland was economically backward (i.e. the famine was based on the monoculture of the potatoe crop, fair enough as well as british incompetence) and ulster was superior
@BostonEm northern Ireland , British and good job or they would all be bankrupt like southern Ireland , want your freedom but you have to run to the IMF for a loan cause your economy is bankrupt ! good job we do occupy dumb fuck
@dave2806 In 1976 Britain was bailed out by the IMF. Britian is currently in economic turmoil like Ireland, Portugal, Greece, France and Spain and might yet need another bailout!
@dave2806 stop using the word british...when its just the english......the welsh and cornish are the true brythonic culture of this island. King arthur fought the fucking invading germans lol...read some history
@3tangle3 Up until 47 not one single part of England had less than 80% Brythonic dna & many parts like Western Yorkshire, what is now Cumbria & the Fens in eastern England were 95% Brythonic. The Saxons only dominated & made their language the official one. Most did not run west when the Saxons & Vikings invaded as some thought, they stayed put. In fact the Brythonics in west Yorkshire ( Elmet) & the Fens were never beaten by even the Romans. Once Cumbraic was spoken from the Trent to the Firth.
@ALBIONTYKE I know mate.....i just love spreading truth and variety. so always willing to be open minded/learn new things or stand corrected
...like your name is awesome....relating to tyke regional history and the old greek trader name for this island "albion"
I love this island dearly......but that does not mean I have to love the state at all times aswell (esp as still an elite)....only brainwashed haters do that
@3tangle3 I agree. In fact I detest the state & it's bloody history, but proud of my islands ancient culture & it's real people. Unfortunately we are losing our character & becoming an island of self focused wimps & sadly having spent 3 years in Waterford, the same is happening over the water..
remember them always,forget wot certain people say.britain brought famine war blood cromwell.pearse and co i will never forget u,godbless and rest in peace
after studying 1916 in detail, i regard pearse and the rebels as sort of traitors because while 160000 of their comrades were fighting in europe, they bought arms from their enemy and attacked their allies in a rebellion that the people didnt want.
Those 160000 comrades were fighting on the assurance of Home rule, which sooner and sooner looked like it was never going to happen. Pearse and his comrades kept alive the Fenian and United Irishman spirit in an unselfish action of sacrifice. Anyone who enjoys the freedom and democratic society of modern Ireland have these men to thank.
no. i have been studying it quite thoroughly. it never looked that HR seemed like it wouldn't happen in the south, and nationalists accepted it not happening in the north. HR actually did happen in 1920. the volunteers never considered fighting the british. they only intended to defend HR from UVF because HR was all the people wanted. dubliners actually threw pots of urine at pearse and co. after the surrender. that was how opposed the vast majority were to the rising.
as Collins said the Easter rising finally awoke the sleeping spirit of Ireland ,after 1916 for the majority of Irish people home rule was too little too late
"that was how opposed the vast majority were to the rising" yes it was, up until the British brutally murdered the leaders reminding the majority what "Pearse and Co" never forgot, that Britain was a monstorous nation. And when service men started returning from the front brutalised and decapatated with no home rule. After the gallant fighting of the Ulstermen it was said that home rule was never going to be enforced on them. The Volunteer's were prepared to fight the british the Volunteers...
...(cont.) were always a threat to be used by the Irish Parlimentary Party as the UVF was used by Loyalists. If and when Home Rule wasn't going to be implemented the Volunteers would be used to fight the British army. Why didn't this confrontation happen? because the majority of the Volunteers died in the trenches for nothing. What the National Volunteers and Eoin O'Neil did was hold a reserve.
@godbrother10 you say the british were monstrous for shooting the 16 , i think 23 were executed in all, by the british , you write songs about it ,, well hello .were are your songs from the irish civil war ,, far more brutal than the war of independce, collins pro treaty executed 77 anti agreement ira .and both committed atrocities,, like tying up a group of anti agreement ira to a landmine and blew them to bits, both shot prisoners without trial,weres your ballads about that
@TheMightOfTheEnglish You obviously have not seen my newest video. Collins was dead before the executions started as was Griffith. Men like O'Higgens and Cosgrave betrayed the Republican cause, men like Liam Tobin tried to stop these men claiming Collin's mantle and unfortunatly failed.
@TheMightOfTheEnglish the british killed 30,000 irishmen Catholic and Protestant after 1798--the nuremburg laws were based on the the penal laws against Ireland after 1688--American segregartion laws also--monstrous doesn't begin to describe it--though hats off to all those English men and women from the levellers to Sylvia Pankhurst who supported Ireland-a little history!
@raginstudios. but we did want to be allies- thats the thing. anglo irish relations were fairly good at the time with home rule coming in. the people initially despised the rebels for ruining the city and because many had relatives enlisted in the british army. any history book would tell you that.
@rory198 My grandfather was a britsh soldier fighting the IRA, and one of my ancestors was an english soldier stationed in Ireland during ww1 , i have more english blood than anything, but still , you need to put yourself in the position of the rebels to understand. Look what the british did.
thing is, at that time the british weren't doing anything particularly bad. the last time that britain wronged ireland was with their handling of the famine crisis and none of the rebels were around for that. most people were satisfied with home rule. i regard the ww1 and the WoI irishmen as heroes but not the 1916 leaders, because they were not acting on the behalf of the people.
My Grandfather was in the GPO on Easter Monday, 1916. He was taken to Mountjoy jail, moved to Kilmainham, then shipped to prison in Britain. He understood politicians, hated politics and believed the most dangerous thing on Earth is a fanatic because a fanatic will sacrifice any and all people/things for the cause.
They also really hated the Catholic Irish as much as the British did. The reason the Irish turned to the Mexican side is the same reason they were fighting in Dublin and throughout Ireland in 1798 and 1916... Fight off the landgrabbing invader. I suggest you look up the history of the St Patrick's Battalion. You'll be surprised. As for me being from the US, I am. But just because I'm American doesn't mean I'll just step aside when my country does something wrong.
@Lepper36 True I ovie in Fort Benton, Montana site of Thomas Meagher's death; hero of Antietem, one of thousasnds of Irish who stepped up during the Civil War
The british have always invaded other mens countries cus they are filthy greedy pigs.What country dosnt hate them.The americans,welsh,irish,scottish,africa..too many to name.Violence was the only language they spoke so that what many brave souls spoke loud and clear to them.
I am English but with Irish ancestry and this is so sad, I couldn't bear it when those wretched bodies fell like little rag dolls, to fall sideways on the ground.
The men of 1916 must be turning in there graves now cos of what the government is doing to us today Talk about the English raping us our own is cutting our troaths
god it brings tears to think these Heros were executed in there own country and until the end pledged there lives in a blood sacrafice! Tiocfaidh ar la
Tears to my eyes.I will never forget. I have some sons who really do not know. But when they do They will do what is right.Get the fuck out of My country you bastards.
We germans terrorized the world for twelve years - the english terrorized ireland for eighthundred years. We did learn from our history - what did england ... ?
Persecution complex? I hope you are joking, why do we have to keep on crying for what Hitler (for example) done, and forget all the rest?
This whole world is fu**ed up, think obout countries in Africa or India, Georgia, Palestine just to name a few.
The british did indeed oppress Ireland, and even in a brutal way.
But whatever, in 20 years from now the English and the Irish will probably walk hand in hand in USA's or some other fu**ed up megalomaniac contry's concentration camps.
Every true Irish Persons Blood should boil watching that, and the British still wonder to this day why the fight has not ended
How Longer must this go on?
They sit at Stormont and talk shite with there big fat salaries and expenses, they paraded on easter sunday, the 10 who died on the blanket could not parade and all those who were executed by the sas.
Ireland unfree shall never be at peace( Padraigh Pearse)....and its so very true....whilst one English soldier walks on Irish soil...sadly that is still true today....Tiocfaidgh ar La!
Also, interestingly.. the rebels who led the rebellion were booed and jeered at as they were taken through the streets of Dublin.

The Saxons only dominated & made their language the official one. Most did not run west when the Saxons & Vikings invaded as some thought, they stayed put. In fact the Brythonics in west Yorkshire ( Elmet) & the Fens were never beaten by even the Romans. Once Cumbraic was spoken from the Trent to the Firth.

after studying 1916 in detail, i regard pearse and the rebels as sort of traitors because while 160000 of their comrades were fighting in europe, they bought arms from their enemy and attacked their allies in a rebellion that the people didnt want.
rory198 2 years ago
Those 160000 comrades were fighting on the assurance of Home rule, which sooner and sooner looked like it was never going to happen. Pearse and his comrades kept alive the Fenian and United Irishman spirit in an unselfish action of sacrifice. Anyone who enjoys the freedom and democratic society of modern Ireland have these men to thank.
godbrother10 2 years ago
no. i have been studying it quite thoroughly. it never looked that HR seemed like it wouldn't happen in the south, and nationalists accepted it not happening in the north. HR actually did happen in 1920. the volunteers never considered fighting the british. they only intended to defend HR from UVF because HR was all the people wanted. dubliners actually threw pots of urine at pearse and co. after the surrender. that was how opposed the vast majority were to the rising.
rory198 2 years ago
as Collins said the Easter rising finally awoke the sleeping spirit of Ireland ,after 1916 for the majority of Irish people home rule was too little too late
timpatjoe 2 years ago
"that was how opposed the vast majority were to the rising" yes it was, up until the British brutally murdered the leaders reminding the majority what "Pearse and Co" never forgot, that Britain was a monstorous nation. And when service men started returning from the front brutalised and decapatated with no home rule. After the gallant fighting of the Ulstermen it was said that home rule was never going to be enforced on them. The Volunteer's were prepared to fight the british the Volunteers...
godbrother10 2 years ago
...(cont.) were always a threat to be used by the Irish Parlimentary Party as the UVF was used by Loyalists. If and when Home Rule wasn't going to be implemented the Volunteers would be used to fight the British army. Why didn't this confrontation happen? because the majority of the Volunteers died in the trenches for nothing. What the National Volunteers and Eoin O'Neil did was hold a reserve.
godbrother10 2 years ago
@godbrother10 you say the british were monstrous for shooting the 16 , i think 23 were executed in all, by the british , you write songs about it ,, well hello .were are your songs from the irish civil war ,, far more brutal than the war of independce, collins pro treaty executed 77 anti agreement ira .and both committed atrocities,, like tying up a group of anti agreement ira to a landmine and blew them to bits, both shot prisoners without trial,weres your ballads about that

@raginstudios. but we did want to be allies- thats the thing. anglo irish relations were fairly good at the time with home rule coming in. the people initially despised the rebels for ruining the city and because many had relatives enlisted in the british army. any history book would tell you that.
rory198 2 years ago
@rory198 My grandfather was a britsh soldier fighting the IRA, and one of my ancestors was an english soldier stationed in Ireland during ww1 , i have more english blood than anything, but still , you need to put yourself in the position of the rebels to understand. Look what the british did.
raginstudios 2 years ago
thing is, at that time the british weren't doing anything particularly bad. the last time that britain wronged ireland was with their handling of the famine crisis and none of the rebels were around for that. most people were satisfied with home rule. i regard the ww1 and the WoI irishmen as heroes but not the 1916 leaders, because they were not acting on the behalf of the people.

They also really hated the Catholic Irish as much as the British did. The reason the Irish turned to the Mexican side is the same reason they were fighting in Dublin and throughout Ireland in 1798 and 1916... Fight off the landgrabbing invader. I suggest you look up the history of the St Patrick's Battalion. You'll be surprised. As for me being from the US, I am.
