Wolfe Tone

Theobald Wolfe Tone was a key figure in Irish history, known for advocating independence from British rule in the late 18th century. As a passionate nationalist, he co-founded the Society of United Irishmen, which aimed to unify Irish people across religious lines and seek greater autonomy. Tone believed in liberal ideas like democracy and equality, and he led efforts to inspire rebellion against British dominance. Despite facing setbacks and ultimately dying in prison, his ideas helped inspire future movements for Irish independence, making him a symbol of Irish patriotism and resistance.
