	Irish nationalism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An Irish nationalist is generally one who seeks (greater) independence of Ireland from Great Britain, including since 1921 the goal of a United Ireland.
		Following the fall of Charles Stewart Parnell this was eventually won by John Redmond and the Irish Parliamentary Party and granted under the Third Home Rule Act 1914, limited however by a partition of Northern Ireland bill, after the British government bowed to the threat of the Ulster Volunteer Force.
		In the Republic, the idea of what Irish nationalism actually means has changed dramatically since the Free State era, particularly since the 1960's with growing prosperity signalling a new departure in both economic and social priorities, as well as the changing relationship with the North.

		The Irish resisted strongly and it was not until 1601 in the reign of Elizabeth I of England that the Gaelic system of law and organization was broken.
		The Irish Volunteers became the Army of the Republic, under the Ministry of Defense and pledging its allegiance to Dail Eireann.
		The demand for defense made by nationalist communities could not be met initially by the IRA because, through the 1960s, the leadership had abandoned planning and preparation for a future armed campaign.

		Irish has become an increasingly important aspect of the national identity of many nationalists in Northern Ireland as well, where the current resurgence of interest is probably the most vibrant and widespread this century.
		Irish gained a very high profile during the hunger strike in 1981, partly because the first man to die, Bobby Sands, was an Irish speaker, and partly due to the increasingly widespread use of the Irish language to communicate amongst republican prisoners in Long Kesh.
		Speaking Irish is generally seen as a cultural activity, and it tends to be seen as an expression of ethnic or cultural identity (in contrast to the more dangerous and divisive political or nationalist expressions of identity).

		Irish Republican manifestoes in the early part of this century express their support for the “Arab people struggling against British imperialism.” This has continued up to the present day with the Irish government frequently taking strong positions in support of both Palestinian and Lebanese rights.
		The Irish dream of a united Ireland is expressed in the constitution of the Republic of Ireland where articles two and three, in part, declare that “the national territory consists of the whole island of Ireland, its islands and territorial seas.”
		For these nationalists, both north and south, Ireland is the island and they refuse to accept its partition and the subsequent loss of Irish identity to any part or any people of the “Irish” territory.

		Following that catharsis, the Dublin Irish Government came to take a much more considered and controlled approach to the Northern problem, recognizing that there were two sides to it, and that a sovereign Government could never allow itself to become allied to private or illegal armies, whatever it thought of their long-term goals.
		Northern nationalists and the Irish Government, on the other hand, wanted a strong all-Ireland body - a Council of Ireland - that would develop dynamically in power and scope, and be capable of being presented as a substantial move in the direction of a United Ireland.
		Irish officials met Sinn Fein and gave them a memorandum clarifying this and other points But two days later, the IRA murdered two RUC officers in Lurgan so direct contacts their intermediaries with Sinn Fein had to be broken off.

	First World War.com - Encyclopedia - Easter Rising
		Organised by Irish nationalists as an armed rebellion against British rule in Ireland, the Easter Rising of 1916, while not necessarily commanding wide scale public support at its outset, nevertheless succeeded in generating a groundswell of sympathy once the scale of British reprisals against the rebel leaders became apparent.
		Nevertheless other nationalist sympathisers, including Sir Roger Casement, believed that the moment for open rebellion was not yet ripe; as such the latter set sail for Ireland from Germany with the intention of attempting to dissuade the rebel leadership from any immediate action.
		Moderate Irish nationalists had been disappointed with Britain's decision, in September 1914, to halt plans for Irish home rule for the duration of the war, thereby fanning the flames of armed protest as personified by such bodies as Sinn Fein, the Citizen Army and the Irish Volunteers.

		The representatives of the Crown governing Ireland at the time were a mixed lot, but all of them underestimated the Irish nationalists and their willingness to struggle against impossible odds for the sake of an ideal.
		Despite the odds, the nationalist leaders were fully aware that their cause was suicidal before they began, but they were nevertheless prepared to go forward, German guns or no. They were quite aware of the potential of "blood sacrifice" and martyrdom in stirring Ireland's national spirit.
		Pearse and the other nationalist leaders hoped the British would be reluctant to shell their own property in the heart of old Dublin, so that the odds of successful resistance would thereby increase.

	Irish Flag
		The color orange is associated with Northern Irish Protestants because of William of Orange (William III), the King of England, Scotland, and Ireland who in 1690 defeated the deposed King James II, a Roman Catholic, in the fateful Battle of the Boyne near Dublin.
		An earlier, unofficial Irish flag —the gold harp on a green background— served from 1798 until the early twentieth century as a symbol of nationalism.
		Irish revolutionary was just one of Meagher's careers: he was also a prisoner in a Tasmanian penal colony, a New York City lawyer, and a Civil War general for the Union Army.

	From Partition to Unification
		Since the establishment of an Irish Free State in 1922, an event which signaled the beginning of partition between the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland, the two sides have been struggling for two contrary principles.
		While the Easter Rising as a revolt was a complete failure, the message it spread to Irish citizens was a very important one, and as a result there was a marked increase in the support for elimination of British control of Ireland.
		Collins negotiated and signed the treaty that set up the Irish Free State in 1922, not because he thought it was perfect, but because he felt it was the best settlement possible for the time.

		Irish republicanism just prior to the 1916 Easter Rising consisted of a bourgeois movement of professionals and intellectuals that blended romantic notions of Gaelic Ireland with traditional rhetoric opposing British rule.
		The Irish Volunteers, led by Eoin MacNeill and Bulmer Hobson and numbering about 16,000, were the smaller faction of the Volunteers that, like Connolly, had opposed Irish participation in the war with Germany.
		Connolly's alliance with the nationalists was tactical more than philosophical, and from that point on he "operated as an adviser to the republicans rather than challenging their tradition in its entirety."15 He did his best to bring them around to his way of thinking, to infuse their already radical ideology with elements of socialism.

		Some of the finest people from two continents worked on the Irish peace process for 30 years, and their influence was apparent in three decisive elements that made the difference between success and failure.
		In this new environment in the mid-1980s, where the Nationalist community wanted peace, where their rights were constitutionally recognized, and where the IRA was suffering from police breakthroughs, it seemed that the IRA needed a face-saving formula to back down from its murder campaign.
		The Irish peace process will continue to have its ups and downs, but the silencing of the guns has been transformative for Northern Ireland and is a truly heroic achievement, based on imagination, skill, conviction, and hope.
