Irish independence movement

The Irish independence movement was a struggle from the late 19th to early 20th century aimed at ending British rule in Ireland. Irish nationalists sought self-governance, cultural identity, and political sovereignty. Tensions escalated with events like the Easter Rising in 1916, which was a key rebellion against British authority. Following the conflict and negotiations, Ireland gradually gained independence, culminating in the establishment of the Irish Free State in 1922. This movement was driven by a desire for Irish self-determination, cultural revival, and resistance to colonial domination.
