Irish Nationalist Movement

The Irish Nationalist Movement was a political effort advocating for Ireland’s independence from British rule. It emerged in the 19th and early 20th centuries, aiming to unite Irish people and gain self-governance through protests, political activism, and, at times, armed resistance. The movement sought to preserve Irish culture and identity while challenging British authority, culminating in events like the Easter Rising of 1916 and the subsequent establishment of the Republic of Ireland in 1922. Its core goal was sovereignty for Ireland, driven by a desire for national independence and self-determination.
