Synopsis

Sinn Féin Rising reveals how a small party helped redefine Ireland’s road to independence and the strategy behind nationalist moves.

From the years leading up to World War I to the pivotal 1918 vote, this work traces how Irish politics, labor movements, and volunteer groups shaped a national struggle. It explores how Sinn Féin positioned itself amid shifting alliances, competing ideologies, and the pressures of a changing world.

The book blends political history with a close look at the people and groups—parliamentarians, labor activists, and volunteers—who defined a crisis era in Ireland. It shows how beliefs about independence, nationhood, and sovereignty evolved through conflict, negotiation, and the tense power balance with England.

• Learn how Sinn Féin built its influence and what its rise meant for Irish independence.
• See the tensions between labor movements, volunteers, and political parties in a time of crisis.
• Understand the shifts in strategy after World War I and during the struggle for self-determination.
• Discover how elections and alliances shaped Ireland’s path toward nationhood.

Ideal for readers of Irish history, political movements, and the profiles of national change during a pivotal era.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

It is almost a commonplace of the political moralists that every failure on the part of England to satisfy the moderate and constitutional demands of the I rish people for reform has been followed invariably by a deplorable outbreak of extremist activities in I reland. Unfortunately for the moral, that constitutional demands should therefore be promptly and fully conceded, the statement is almost exactly the reverse of the truth, if I rish history as a whole be taken as the field for induction. The I rish Nation cannot be said to have at any period abandoned its claim to independence. Of the meaning of that claim there was no question from the Conquest to the fall of Limerick. The whole of that period is occupied by a long struggle between the English and the I rish peoples for the effective possession of the island.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Sinn Féin is an Irish republican political party active in both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. The name is Irish for "ourselves" or "we ourselves", although it is frequently mistranslated as "ourselves alone". Originating in the Sinn Féin organisation founded in 1905 by Arthur Griffith, it took its current form in 1970 after a split within the party (the other party became the Workers' Party of Ireland), and has been historically associated with the IRA. Gerry Adams has been party president since 1983. Sinn Féin is currently the second-largest party behind the Democratic Unionist Party in the Northern Ireland Assembly, where it has four ministerial posts in the power-sharing Northern Ireland Executive, and the fourth-largest party in the Oireachtas, the parliament of the Republic. Sinn Féin also received the second highest number of Northern Ireland votes and seats in the 2015 Westminster elections, behind the DUP. INTRODUCTORY 2. IRISH NATIONALISM IN THE NINETEENTH CENTURY 9.
