	Sinn Fein - MSN Encarta
		Sinn Fein is often characterized as the political arm of the Irish Republican Army (IRA), a paramilitary organization.
		Sinn Fein had no official connection with the violence of the unsuccessful 1916 uprising, but it was later associated with the event by the press.
		Sinn Fein’s popularity was further enhanced by the British threat in 1917 and 1918 to introduce conscription (compulsory military service) in Ireland to support Britain’s efforts against Germany in World War I (1914-1918).

	Sinn Féin - ninemsn Encarta
		Sinn Féin had no official connection with the violence of the 1916 rising, but in the aftermath it was associated with the event by the press.
		Sinn Féin's growth and popularity was further enhanced by the British threat in 1917-1918 to introduce conscription to Ireland in support of its war effort against Germany.
		Provisional Sinn Féin's role was enhanced by the 1981 hunger strikes in Northern Ireland which ushered in a new policy of “the ballot box and the Armalite”, or in other words a strategy of a joint military and political campaign.

	World Press Review - Sinn Fein - Northern Ireland
		While Sinn Féin (Gaelic for "Ourselves Alone") has committed itself to achieving a united Ireland through political means, two events last month serve to illustrate the ambiguities of a party wedded to the painful past of Northern Ireland, yet committed to a future that is free of the violent past.
		Last but not least, Sinn Fein is no longer the political wing of an active terrorist movement." Each MP will receive over £100,000 for the upkeep of an office, hiring of staff, and travel and accommodation expenses.
		Sinn Féin is unique in that it fields candidates in both the Irish Republic (which constitutes the greater part of Ireland—26 of the 32 counties, all overwhelmingly Catholic—that gained independence in 1922) and the United Kingdom (the official name for the Union of Great Britain and Northern Ireland).

		Sinn Fein was a constitutional party, and in fact, at the British general elections in 1918, Sinn Fein won the majority of seats throughout the island of Ireland, and it was that which gives them the animus to conduct a violent campaign against the British in the War of Liberation.
		Sinn Fein's political role was never important until the beginning of The Troubles, because it had been the militants, the military types, who were in command inside the Republican movement.
		The decision by the Sinn Fein conference in 1986, that they would take their seats if elected in the south of Ireland, in the Irish Republic, was one of the most historic decisions ever taken by the Republican movement.
