The normal Irish (of the time) merely wanted home rule, which they were getting as soon as the First World War came to an end—but the communists pushed for full independence, and ended up prolonging the war with their stupid 1916 rebellion, basically siding with the Axis by doing that.

You mean the Central Powers. The Axis was World War II.

Ain't it funny how Commies can never make up their minds as to whether they're for national sovereignty or against it?

Thanks for the correction.

Wonder how many today remember that the Ottoman Empire (major Islamic power) was part of the Central Powers? All present-day Islamic terrorism is revanchism over losing that empire.
