The Irish War of Independence: Rise of the IRA (Part 1)
How did the Irish War of Independence begin, and who were its main players?
What are the origins of the Irish War of Independence? What impact did the First World War have on Irish efforts for ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Rule? What was the mood in Ireland following the bloody Easter Rising of 1916? And, who was Éamon de Valera, the man who dominated the story of not only Irish politics in the 20th century, but also the entire story of Irish independence?
As they launch back into the epic and tumultuous Irish War of Independence, Dominic and Tom are joined once again by historian Paul Rouse, to discuss one of the most important conflicts in the history of Britain.
