  • Collins was not a traitor. The English threatend war on Ireland if the treaty was not signed . Collins just saved the people of his country from a war Ireland could not have won.

  • @1Fianna

    Michael Collins is the greatest leader in modern Irish history.

    It is an unmasking fact that what de Valera could not accept in 1922, after Michael Collins´ assassination he then accepted - the Oath of Allegiance and military commitments. The cruel civil war was fought for nothing at all - except de Valera´s political career.

  • @amacdonald27 yes there you silly fool. after the invasion there was a newly built gas and oil pipeline built by an american company unicol which tranports oil from the caspian to india and pakistan through afghanistan.. the afghan government which america installed only recieves 8% of the profits. where do you think the rest is going. stick to commenting on justin bieber vids dumb yank..

  • @thebigfella221 Collins turned his British guns against the IRA so the IRA fought back.

  • @whitehazel Collins saved the people of Ireland from war? He started the civil war, more brutal than the war against the British!
