When world war 1
began more than
250,000 Irish men
from the north and
south joined the British
army.
About 10,000
volunteers refused to
fight for Britain.
James Connolly had a
large banner put up on
liberty hall which says :
We Serve Neither King
Nor Kaiser But Ireland.


James Connolly
ordered a German ship
to come with arms.
The captain of the ship
scuttled the ship
because he was afraid
the English army to
catch him


Their leader Thomas
Clarke and Seán
McDermott planned a
rebellion for Easter
Sunday 1916.
Roger Casement was
arrested while landing
on a German
submarine in Tralee
Co. Kerry.


On Easter
Monday a small
group of men
marched to the GPO
some wore grey
some wore dark
green fore the Irish
citizen army.
They put up the new
flag which colours
are green white and
orange.

 The
British Prime
minister Lloyd
George was under
pressure in England
and abroad to find
a solution.
 His answer was the
Government of
Ireland Act.

The volunteers known as
the IRA had done no
fighting since Easter
1916.
After the war the leaders
of the IRA were killed all
apart from Countess
Markieviez and Eamon de
Valera because the
countess was a woman
and De Valera was
American.
INDEPENDENCE
FOR
IRELAND!!!!
