		The Irish Catholic population in the six counties, besides feeling politically alienated, was also economically alienated with far worse living standards compared to their Protestant neighbours, with less job opportunities and were often crammed into ghettos in Belfast, Derry, Armagh and other places.
		Irish Republican Socialist Party- Originally the party of Irish-socialist rebel James Connolly during the early 20th century, the IRSP was reborn by Seamus Costello in 1974.

		Amazingly, the Civil War was primarily about the Oath of Allegiance to the Crown, rather than the exclusion of the six northern counties from the Irish Free State.
		The Irish Free State, as it was known until 1949, was established after the signing in December 1921 of the Anglo-Irish Treaty, between the British Government and an Irish delegation led by Michael Collins.

		The Anglo-Irish Treaty arose from the Anglo-Irish War (or "Irish War of Independence"), fought between Irish separatists (organised as the extra-legal Irish Republic) and the British government, from 1919-1921.
		The fact that The Irish Civil War was fought between Irish Nationalist factions meant that the issue of Northern Ireland was ignored and Ireland was spared what could have been a far bloodier civil war based on ethnic and sectarian lines over the future of Ireland's six north-eastern counties.
		In fact, because of the Irish Civil War, Northern Ireland was able to consolidate its existence and partition of Ireland was confirmed for the forseeable future.

		While the mainstream organisations representing Nationalists and Unionists tended to be quite conservative, more politically and religious radical groups emerged associated with Republicans and Loyalists, with Sinn Féin adopting a Marxist perspective of the 'Irish problem', defining it in terms of "class struggle".
		Loyalists in the 1970s even advocated forms of an "independent Ulster" which they compared to the apartheid-style regimes of Rhodesia and South Africa, in which one community's dominance could be ensured.

		It sounds as if that war was for the Russians what the Spanish Civil War was for US and British Leftists, or what the Papal States war was for European Catholics, especially the Irish: a focus for idealism and a chance for adventure, rolled into one.
		As with the Irish in Italy, the Russians in South Africa found their idealism wore a bit thin when they discovered the reality of what they were fighting for; they didn't at all take to the Boers' racist attitudes.

		Of the many accounts of the Irish War of Independence, none adequately explains the Irish victory over a force that was superior in technology, industry, military force, and population.
		While the theorists associated today with the strategies characteristic of a people's war were either not yet born or were unknown to those in the Irish Republican Army and Sinn Fein, the war they waged closely fits later revolutionary models.
		There is a need for students of this era to better understand how it was that Irish revolutionaries in 1919, on their own, came to adopt tactics of unconventional warfare that would in fact serve as a primer for a number of people's wars later in the century.

		The Anglo-Irish war, 21st January 1919—11th July 1921 was initiated by a small number of young, determined Irish Volunteers, known from August 1919 as the Irish Republican Army (IRA).
		A conventional war of large-scale open conflict was not feasible, given their lack of men, training and arms.
		Its primary purpose was to declare that an independent Irish Republic had been established and that a provisional government had been appointed - i.e., the seven members of the Council - to administer temporarily its affairs.

	Meditations in Time of Civil War
		Background: "Meditations in Time of Civil War" was written in the Summer and Autumn of 1922 while Yeats was staying at his Tower in Co. Galway during the Irish Civil War.
		A violence stemming from ignorance because in the midst of "forgetting and forgot" Yeats found that "my bodily heirs may find,/To exalt the lonely mind./Befitting emblems of adversity." The critical point is that the future generations are only finding emblems, not the actual adversity; therefore, they are not fighting the same battles as their heroes.
		Perhaps the most graphic critique of the violence of the civil war, Yeats depicts that "[the soldiers] trundled down the road/ That dead young soldier and his blood." Since the soldier is not identified with either faction, it is a condemnation of the entire situation.

		Whether he does or not will be up to the individual reader, but even if you don't buy the argument in the end, it is difficult to deny that Kautt gave it one heck of a try.
		His examination of the impact of the British reaction to the Easter rising of 1916, especially in the question of Courts-martial and firing squads, provided the first real impetus to a national sense of resistance that is so essential in a peoples' war.
		But to his credit, Kautt does not claim that Mao and other future practitioners of peoples' war got their ideas from the Irish.

		The fragmentation bemoaned by the tragic literature parodied in The Burning Balaclava is as much a construct as the Carthaginian origin myth, the byproduct of, on the one hand, imperial insistence on an essential, knowable Irish identity, and on the other a stubborn desire for the recovery of a mythical homogeneous Ireland.
		It is impossible for him to keep faith with the performative model of Irish identity because he learned at the Somme that his final performance not only failed to prevent the slaughter of his friends in battle, but may have caused it: Answer me why we did it.

		Born in County Mayo in 1897, O'Malley moved with his family to Dublin while he was still a child and enrolled as a medical student at the National University of Ireland in 1915.
		The political demarcation between the more Protestant north-east of the island -- where Irish nationalism failed to gain the day -- and the rest of the island owed much to a religiously coloured sense of history, identity and allegiance.
		His eye-catching statement (written as an Irish republican prisoner in April 1923) that "I have a decent library now and have ample time to browse deep in Chaucer, Shakesp[eare], Dante, and Milton",(15) offers a telling reflection of the range of his literary influences in this period.

		This was acceptable to Ulster unionists, who implemented the Act, but not to Irish nationalists, who broadly supported the IRA campaign during the Anglo-Irish war (1919-1921).
		Eventually on 6th December the Anglo-Irish Treaty was agreed and signed by the Irish delegates without consulting their colleagues in Dublin.
		Those who favoured acceptance argued that the powers it granted made it worthy of support; that it would lead to Irish unity; that it had the support of most Irish people and that the only alternative to it was renewed war with Britain.

		But while a growing body of important feminist scholarship has explored the consequences, both for Irish women and for Irish national politics, of this insistence on preserving the patriarchal family, there has been less attention paid to the fact that this conflation of family and nation also seeks to enforce heterosexuality.
		Dido's performance in Carthaginians is a two-pronged assault upon the double "myth of the origin" that underlies this version of Irish identity, a refutation of the "false sense of legitimacy" that myth gives to the various "culturally oppressive version[s]" of Irish identity inscribed on the other characters.
