Irish Convention

The Irish Convention, held from 1917 to 1918, was a meeting aimed at finding a consensus on Ireland's future governance amidst increasing calls for self-rule. Comprising members from various political backgrounds, including nationalist and unionist perspectives, its goal was to negotiate a solution that could satisfy a wide range of views. Although it produced a report recommending limited self-governance, the outcomes ultimately failed to satisfy all parties. The Convention's efforts reflected the complexities of Irish politics during a pivotal time, preceding the eventual partition of Ireland and the establishment of the Irish Free State in 1922.
