Book description
Learn about the history of the Irish Republican Army with iMinds
insightful knowledge series. Much like the history of its homeland, the
Irish Republican Army, or IRA, is complex and contested. Formed as a
resistance movement during World War One, the IRA has since undergone
several splits and reinventions. There are no fewer than five groups who
identify themselves as the IRA, all of which can trace their beginnings
to the original resistance movement. Despite their differences, the
various IRA groups have at least a common goal: the unification of
Ireland and an end to occupation of Northern Ireland by the United
Kingdom. The IRA started out of a desire within Ireland for
self-administration at the beginning of the 20th century. In 1914, the
British Parliament passed an act that sought to provide Home Rule for
Ireland as part of the United Kingdom. But the onset of World War One
delayed implementation of the act, and the Home Rule outlined by the act
was limited, causing heated debate amongst the Irish. Frustration of
Irish nationalists provoked a full-scale rebellion in April 1916. This
insurrection would become known as the Easter Rising. iMinds brings
