brilliant!!! does it show anymore of the easter rising?

[YoungIndyFan]

Yes. Half of this episode is about it :)

[Kuabla]

the occupation of buildings may have seemed naive but Connolly thought that the British would be hesitant about blasting Dublin's commercial centre.. He thought the forces of British Capitalism wouldn't allow it.. So in that sense the rebels weren't as hell bent on blood sacrifice as it might seem. I do agree with you that Pearse was attracted to the idea of martyrdom but like our friend NapperTandy98 says he wasn't a military tactican.

[NapperTandy98]

Pearse didn't come up with the military plan for the Rising, it was Plunkett with some help from James Connolly.

actually whats funny about this episode is that they show the tricolor being raised above the GPO when in fact the flag flown was green with the words "irish republic" in gold

[theboyoofoly]

@DrKorn5 oh i absolutely agree, he believed that it would better to wait till after ww1 ended before showing force and even than just as a threat. after roger casement's capture he believed all was lost. but on the fourth or fifth day he went out to make his stand with the rest, only to arrested almost immediately. "than at suvla, or sud el bar"

[theboyoofoly]

@jarsonist the very word republic comes from a greek phrase "ras poblico" which if i remember correctly means without king

[DrKorn5]

@theboyoofoly MacNeil's counter mobilization completely frigged everything up. Because of him whole companies didn't know what to do or didn't show up as far as I can see he more or less sabotaged the whole damn thing. For instance the 5th Battalion which with around 40 men won the battle of ashbourne they were originally supposed to have 200. The Rising had no chance but as the song goes "better to die neath an Irish sky".

[Gillespie4100]

Pearse would not have talked like that ne apparantly had a soft learned tone

[sbarr10]

One great lesson learned from the Easter Rising.

Michael Collins realized what sitting ducks the rebels were occupying buildings. Escape was impossible.

And from this came the seeds of the idea of flying columns and guerrilla warfare.

[theboyoofoly]

@NapperTandy98 pearse did not come up with the initial plan to revolt yes but he signed on soon enough just the same unlike eoin macneil the brilliant historian and founder of the irish volunteer army who tried to prevent the rising and in fact played a large part it not being as successful as it otherwise may have been even though in the end he suited up armed himself and marched off to face the same fate as the rest only to be immediately arrested without ever having fired a shot

@nationalist19 Today you probably do Even though according to studies Ireland has the one of the lowest rates of political corruption. Anyways i was referring to the sort lived provisional government which was a republic in name only. Yes that Easter week was a state of chaos, but any leader who knew they would most likely die in the end, in my book will always be the best leader of any form of government.

[jarsonist]

@nationalist19 A republic was proclaimed, in a republic everyone is equal, there is no room for ridiculous notions such as thrones or princes. You are mixing up an early Sinn Féin/Arthur Griffith policy with this IRB rebellion. If you think Clarke or MacDiarmada would have put a prince before the people then you are deluded.

[nationalist19]

@jarsonist Oh reall! then why don't you look up the name of Prince Joachim of Prussia and read the titles and thrones he was offered. if you can
