	ireland.com / Focus / The 1916 Rising
		This Easter Rising is, depending on one's point of view, the founding act of a democratic Irish State, a historic act of treachery, a mandate for any unelected group to take up arms in the name of the Irish Republic, a supreme expression of unselfish idealism.
		One's view of this Easter Rising is determined very largely by one's view on other subjects: on the Northern Ireland conflict, on nationalism and socialism, on the awkward relationship between the terrorist and the freedom fighter.
		The leaders of the Rising may have begun with the notion of staging a real military revolt that would overthrow British rule, but by Easter Monday, when the hoped-for German aid had failed to materialise and a countermanding order had weakened their mobilisation, they knew that this was an impossibility.

	Easter Proclamation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Easter Proclamation, officially referred to as the Proclamation of the Republic, was a document read by Padraig Pearse at the start of the Easter Rising in Ireland in April 1916, in which a republican "Provisional Government" claimed the right to proclaim Irish independence from the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland.
		Though the Rising proved a military disaster, the principles of the Proclamation to varying degrees influenced the thinking of later generations of Irish politicians.
		A copy owned (and later signed as a memento) by Rising participant Sean T. O'Kelly was presented by O'Kelly, by then President of Ireland, to the Irish parliament buildings, Leinster House, where it is on permanent display in the main foyer.

		The Easter Rising marked the latest phase in attempts by militant republicans to seize control of Ireland and force independence from Britain.
		The Rising marked a split between Republicanism[?] and mainstream Irish nationalism, which had hitherto accepted a promise of postwar autonomy under the British crown, enshrined in the Third Home Rule Act[?], which had been enacted in 1914, just before the start of World War One.
		The Rising is generally seen as having been doomed to military defeat from the outset, and to have been understood as such by its leaders: critics have seen in it elements of a "blood sacrifice" in line with some of the romantically-inclined Pearse's writings.

		The point of departure in the development of a new revolutionary socialist tradition in Britain was the outcome of cumulative British repression in Ireland between Easter 1916 and early 1919, the growth of anti-colonial sentiments within the British Empire, and the impact of the Bolshevik revolution.

		It garnered little respect for the leaders due to the massive destruction caused to the streets of Dublin, and even as the proclamation of the Republic was announced by Pádraig Pearse the natives of the capital scuttled past with an air of bemused indifference.
		The brutality with which they were treated achieved something Pearse's proclamations and the rising itself could not though; it garnered support from the everyday men and women of the capital, and heightened the awareness of the rest of the country as to the situation.
		The GPO still bears the scars, but nowadays they are viewed with pride as a reminder of the tenacity of those who were willing to sacrifice so much in the face of defeat for their ideals to leave a different Ireland to their children.

	Easter 1916
		An Irish Nationalist uprising had been planned for Easter Sunday 1916, and although the German ship that was bringing munitions had been intercepted by the British, attempts to postpone the uprising failed; it began in Dublin on Easter Monday..Fifteen hundred men seized key points and an Irish republic was proclaimed from the General Post Office.
		So in the end, "Easter 1916" is a very serious meditation about the ambiguities of history, but it gets to that end by being something much more modest: a poem about a man changing his mind.
		The Easter Rising of 1916 had virtually no chance of immediately freeing Ireland from British rule, but it was a powerful symbolic gesture, and the subsequent execution of its leaders quickly turned them into martyrs for the cause of Irish nationalism.
