	Easter Rising - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Easter Rising (Irish: Éirí Amach na Cásca) was a militarily unsuccessful rebellion staged in Ireland against British rule on Easter Monday in April 1916.
		There was a Boer uprising in South Africa at the start of World War I when Afrikaners who wished to break the link between South Africa and the British Empire, allied themselves with the Germans of German South West Africa.
		In contrast to the British reaction to the Easter Rising, in a gesture of reconciliation the South African government was lenient on those rebel leaders who survived the rebellion and encouraged them to work for change within the constitution.

		The uprising occurred on Easter Monday, April 24, 1916, and centered mainly in Dublin.
		The uprising was planned by leaders of these organizations, among whom were the British consular agent Sir Roger David Casement, the educator Padhraic Pearse, and the poet Thomas MacDonagh.
		The uprising was the first of a series of events that culminated in the establishment of the Irish Free State (predecessor of the Ireland) in 1921.

		Easter, from the ancient goddess Estra or Eostre, representing fertility.
		Thus Easter eggs, rabbits and flowers, as we nod backwards to a long-forgotten past and overlay (for some) a far more recent -- 'recent' being relative here, at two millennia -- Christian celebration on the old, so old, birth/rebirth symbolism.
		For the Irish, there's also the anniversary of the 1916 Easter Uprising, which launched Ireland's 20th century struggle for independence (the period of rebirth and resurrection of course suiting the Uprising's leaders' symbolic agenda).

	Paper 1: Causal Analysis
		In one of his poems, written six years before the uprising, he wrote, "I have turned my face to the road before me, to the deed that I see and the death I shall die (Colum, et al 115)." In that sentence alone, Patrick is saying he will die for what he believes in.
		The last effect of the Easter Uprising was the Formation of the Irish Free State on December 6, 1922.
		The Easter Uprising not only had an impact on Ireland, it had an impact on the world that will never be forgotten.

	Eamon de Valera biography
		By the time of the 1916 Easter Uprising he was deeply embroiled in Irish independence politics, drawn to the direct action/force of arms approach of the Sinn Fein primarily because British concessions to constitutional, parliamentary approaches had been few and those few had generally lacked substance.
		He emerged a popular hero of the Easter Uprising, one of the few leaders who was not executed by the British.
		In the aftermath of the Uprising Sinn Fein was able to propagandize participants to the level of martyrs if dead, heroes if still alive, and thereby gain widespread public support for their political positions.
