St. Patrick's Day Special

Since its St.Patrick's Day I've  decided to do something more interesting, Irish history is very intriguing and is very bloody at certain points. Easter rising was one of the bloodiest events, which made a turning point point in Irish nationalism. Also known as the Easter rebellion, this was and armed uprising that happened in Ireland during Easter weekend in 1916. Aimed at destroying British authority and supremacy over the Irish (who had been oppressed for hundreds of years) it was the largest uprising since The rebellion of 1798.It was put together by six prominent members of the IRA military council and began on Easter Monday April 24, and lasted for 6 days. volunteers led by Patrick Pearse Joined by 200 members of Cumman na mBan, and a smaller militia took control of strategic locations inside of Dublin, and Declared The republic of Ireland to be Liberated from the United Kingdom. Suppressed after 6 Bloody days of fighting, it not only symbolized  their deep resentment towards British rule and so-called supremacy, it also succeeded in bringing back Physical force Republicanism to the Irish nationalists who were getting tired of being stepped on.

The entire uprising consisted of seizing strategic points, but several key points such as Trinity College and Dublin Castle were unable to be taken and set things back. However the Rebels Did take the City Hall under control with  Four Courts and other areas where they began to barricade themselves in and resupply with ammunition for a  long stake out. the British were taken completely off guard,which was shown through their frantic and uncoordinated methods of restoring the peace. Besides 425 people being arrested for looting, not that much skirmishes took place on that Day.
                   Because they weer enable to take the railways from British control, thousands of reinforcements were shipped in.  as a result 16,000 men stood ready to oppose the Irish, with additional long range artillery to bombard them with.   little actual combat took place early on as the British decided to just bomb them, until they tried to send units into the city, where Violent fighting broke out. at the end of the week the British had seized only a few of the union buildings  at the last fighting scene, after 11 dead and 28 wounded the troops broke through the Stafford shire barricades and angrily shot and stabbed 15 male civilians accused of being Militia. at this point , the IRA was eventually surrounded and forced to surrender though many chose to die. England Executed all 7 leaders and settled back into an  uneasy rule, that was not long to last. eventually through terror tactics and skirmishes throughout the years, Ireland would finally be able to have their independence and become a free country.  so another lesson on determination, just try not use acts of terror and blow up things as I'm pretty sure the IRA also started modern terrorism....so definitely not the best role models.
 Well im supposed to have a 250 word count this week as well as two vocab words so to Paraphrase this event, And uprising led by Irish rebels tried to take Dublin, the British shelled the are a and then moved in until the Irish surrendered, the ominous signs of Irish resentment lasted much longer than anticipated and eventually not even the SAS could put them down so that is how we have the independent country of Ireland today. subscribe to my blog to hear more later this week adios.
