"The Proclamation of the Irish Republic" document
"The Proclamation of the Irish Republic" was a key document issued during the Easter Rising of 1916, when Irish nationalists declared independence from Britain. It proclaimed Ireland as a sovereign free republic committed to justice, freedom, and the unification of Irish people. The proclamation called on citizens to support their independence effort and emphasized Ireland's right to self-determination. It served as a symbolic declaration of Irish nationalism, rallying support for an independent Irish state and marking a pivotal moment in Ireland's struggle for independence.
