Propaganda. Home Rule was a duly-passed Act of Parliament and the only thing that interrupted it was Germany starting WWI. If not for the 1916 rebellion, that act would have gone into force as soon as WWI ended. So it was the rebels that destroyed Home Rule.
Completely false dilemma, “Germany versus Britain”. I take it you don’t believe in an independent Ireland?
It’s absolutely not revisionism that Ireland’s Easter Rising was communistic in nature. Even Lenin called it a communistic revolution, attacking critics of it by saying “no revolution is perfect”. Ignoring James Connolly’s writings on the matter is putting one’s head in the sand.
The Irish wouldn’t have sacrificed their leaders for nothing; Britain was never going to give it up. To this day it is against the law for a Catholic to sit on the throne of England; that speaks volumes.
Neither Germany or Britain is independent anymore; I’d prefer Germany leading the EU than Britain.
How many priests did the rebels kill? That is the hallmark of all communist revolutions...
