Irish Land League

The Irish Land League, established in 1879, was a grassroots organization advocating for the rights of Irish tenant farmers. It aimed to reduce harsh rent conditions, promote fairer land ownership, and resist landlord power. By organizing protests, boycotts, and political pressure, the League sought to achieve land reform, ensuring farmers could own or rent land more equitably. It played a key role in Irish nationalist movements, contributing to significant changes in land laws and fostering a sense of collective power among rural communities.
