29 apr 1915 anni - The Irish are Crushed

Descrizione:

The rebels had no hope of a direct military victory but did aim at lighting the spark of rebellion – in which they proved ultimately successful. The British indeed unwittingly helped this aim by insisting on the execution of the uprising's leaders, thereby making them into popular martyrs and enhancing the appeal of Irish Republicanism among the masses.
