Irish nationalist

Irish Nationalism is a political and cultural movement that seeks to promote the interests of the Irish people and advocate for the independence of Ireland from British rule. It emerged in the 19th century, emphasizing the importance of Irish identity, culture, and the right to self-determination. Nationalists aim to unite all of Ireland—both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland—under a sovereign government. This movement has played a significant role in shaping Ireland's history, leading to events such as the Easter Rising in 1916 and the subsequent establishment of the Irish Free State in 1922.
