| | Easter Rising |
| | Shortly after the outbreak of World War I on August 4, 1914, the Supreme Council of the IRB met and, under the prevailing belief that “England’s difficulty is Ireland’s opportunity”, decided to take action sometime before the conclusion of the war. | | | Sinn Féin and the Irish Parliamentary Party fought a series of inconclusive battles, with each winning by-elections, until the Conscription Crisis of 1918 (when Britain tried to force conscription on Ireland) swung public opinion behind Sinn Féin. | | | The rebellion marked the most famous attempt by militant republicans to seize control of Ireland and force independence from the United Kingdom. |
