Irish Freedom Fighters

Irish Freedom Fighters refers to individuals and groups who sought to end British rule in Ireland and achieve independence for the Irish people. This struggle intensified throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, culminating in events like the Easter Rising of 1916 and the subsequent Irish War of Independence (1919-1921). Key organizations included the Irish Republican Army (IRA), which used armed resistance to pursue their goals. Their efforts eventually led to the establishment of the Irish Free State in 1922, marking a significant moment in Ireland's transition toward full sovereignty. The legacy of these fighters remains a complex and often contentious part of Irish history.
