Ireland's Cause

Ireland’s Cause refers to the struggle for independence and national identity, primarily during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It sought to free Ireland from British rule, emphasizing cultural revival, political self-determination, and land reforms. Key movements like the Irish Republicanism and campaigns such as the Easter Rising (1916) aimed to establish Ireland as an independent republic. The cause was driven by a desire to preserve Irish language, traditions, and sovereignty, eventually leading to the partition of Ireland and the establishment of the Republic of Ireland in 1949. It remains a symbol of national pride and the fight for self-governance.
