What was the Anglo-Irish Treaty, and how did it change the fate of Ireland?
What were the terms of the Anglo-Irish Treaty, signed in December 1921, following negotiations between the UK and Sinn F茅in? How was it received by the Irish people? What was the process by which it was agreed between Lloyd George, Winston Churchill, Michael Collins, and Arthur Griffith? Why did 脡amon de Valera object to the treaty, and how did this sow the seeds of civil war? Had the Irish beaten the British militarily up to this point? And, what would be the consequences of this controversial treaty for the future of Ireland, and Anglo-Irish relations?
