| | WHKMLA : History of Ireland, 1914-1922 |
 | | The situation in Ireland had improved since the GREAT FAMINE, Irish Catholics had been granted the right to vote, and they had made use of it. |
 | | When World War I broke out, the Entente propaganda propagated the slogan that the war was fought to liberate the ethnic minorities living under Austro-Hungarian, Ottoman and German rule; the aim, as formulated in U.S. President Wilson's FOURTEEN POINTS was self-determination for the peoples of Eastern Central Europe. |
 | | In 1922, Ireland was declared a FREE STATE within the British Commonwealth - not a Republic, and without Northern Ireland, which, with it's protestant majority, was separated from the Free State. |
