Clare election of 1900

The Clare election of 1900 was a notable by-election in Ireland, held to fill a seat in the British Parliament. It became significant because it was won by a candidate from the Irish Parliamentary Party, John Redmond, representing the nationalist cause. This election was seen as a measure of support for home rule, reflecting Ireland's demand for greater self-governance. Redmond’s victory demonstrated a strong sentiment for Irish nationalism and reinforced the political divide between Unionists and nationalists in Ireland at the turn of the century.
