Title A name given to the resource World War I Recruitment Poster Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1914 Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource The General Council for the Organization of Recruitment in Ireland Description An account of the resource This recruitment poster specifically catered to Irish men in an attempt to encourage volunteers to fight in World War I. Around 250,000 men from Ireland joined the British forces over the course of World War I. Many stayed behind, however, to use the distraction the war caused the British to their home advantage, partly leading to the Easter Rising of 1916. While the Irish were fighting under the British flag, sending an army out to war was an important step for Irish identity. Up to this point, most, if not all, Irish fighting had been internal or against intruders and colonizers on Irish soil. Both the Ulster Division and the British 10th and 16th Divisions were eventually allowed to officially be named the Irish divisions after protesting from John Redmond, an Irish Nationalist. Later in 1918, however, as word spread that the British may use conscription in Ireland to bulk up their forces, Irish opposition towards British rule grew exponentially stronger.

Title A name given to the resource Patrick Pearse Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Novermber 10, 1879-May 3, 1916 Description An account of the resource Patrick Pearse was an Irish Nationalist leader. Born in 1879, he grew up amongst some of the first waves leading to the great Nationalist movements of the twentieth century. He joined the Gaelic Revival at the age of 16, leading to his greater involvement in Irish interests against British rule. A traditional Irish Republican, Pearse believed that bloodshed was a necessary component in securing home rule for the Irish. Despite Irish Nationalist attempts to pass the Home Rule Bill in 1913, Pearse and his peers claimed that these motions did not do enough for the Irish, pitting his opinion against that of Nationalist John Redmond. This somewhat violent passion led to the formation and arming of several citizen armies and militant groups, many of which were eventually responsible for the Easter Rising of 1916. Pearse issued the orders to both begin the rising on Easter Sunday and surrender 6 days later after a grueling fight. He was executed by firing squad with other resistance leaders on 3 May 1916.

Title A name given to the resource Barricade built during the Easter Rising of 1916. Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource April 24, 1916-April 29, 1916 Description An account of the resource The Easter Rising of 1916 came in the wake of World War I. As they did many times throughout history, the Irish took note of the British's need to divide their resources when fighting on the European mainland and decided to take advantage of the distraction posed by World War I. Led by the Irish Republican Brotherhood, volunteers took to the streets in favor of Irish Nationalism. The insurgence of rebellion which lasted for roughly 6 days was heavily violent. Unfortunately for the Nationalist militants, World War I was not apparently enough to give them the opportunity needed to gain true independence from British rule. Over the course of the fighting, close to 500 people were killed and 2500 people were wounded. A large amount of these killed and injured were tragically civilians. As the Nationalists, totally exhausted, surrendered, around 2000 people were captured and imprisoned for varying amounts of time. 15 of the Nationalist leaders, including the militant Patrick Pearse, were executed for their insurrection by firing squad.

Unlike other newspapers during this time period, this newspaper tends to be more sympathetic to the Irish and their Horrible situations. It discusses everything from Individuals to certain events. This paper helped to keep the English updated to how the Famine was progressing in Ireland. Other papers like the "Puppet-Show" in England showed the Irish in a very negative light. This illustrations elicited a very emotional response to the reader that helped them to have empathy for the Irish. Publication started in 1842 and ceased in 2003. Herbert Ingram was the founder and printer of this paper, and the articles varied from local news to national news. However, the articles on the Great Hunger were probably the most haunting.

The documents are an Address from the Committee of the Society of Friends of London. This address gives an account of the first years of the Famine in Ireland from the Quaker's point of view. As well as examining Ireland's current state in late 1846 the address also calls fellow 'Friends' to be willing to give monies in order to establish a relief fund and committees. Within the document you find that while based in London the Society of Friends kept in close communication with their Irish 'brothers and sisters'. Through this close communication they see the dire need in Ireland. As stated in the address the Quakers sought to establish relief committees of their own, partially because they knew the government's relief programs were not enough and they also felt it to be their duty to help those suffering at the Famine’s hand. The address continues to explain how they will go about distributing any money given to the relief fund and express how even small donations will help rescue those in need from destruction. The Quakers had possibly the highest number of food depots in Ireland, but this aid could not last forever. While they may have wanted to do more the Quaker’s private relief organization was stretched to its financial limit by 1848.

The first is a notice to cease the issuing of all food under the Relief Act, and proclaiming that all people that can work should find work. This notice was put forward by the relief commission and the welfare would later fall to the shoulders of the poor law system that was also not equipped to take on such a vast project. The second document was put into the "Mayo Constitution" it is a complaint about the high mortality rates and the aggravation of having to bury the dead. They were very concerned about the dead being contagious to the other inhabitants. Thomas Dillon. M D and William Kearney. were the two people to put this ad into the paper on July 29, 1847. The dead that these two men were complaining about were mostly people who had died in and around the work house. it is a very sad and morbid realization of life during the Irish Potato Famine. These two documents are just two of many types of notices that people would see in the paper during this time period.

The Corridor was located over south Donegal, north Leitrim, and north Sligo, and met the Atlantic. The Donegal Corridor is especially interesting for one reason in particular. Although De Valera had declared that Ireland would maintain a neutral position in the war, they did not completely avoid participation. As the Battle of the Atlantic broke out, it became obvious to Ally forces that planes would be needed for protection to ship convoys against the German U-boats. Ireland allowed the Allies to gain access to the Atlantic through their safe, neutral territory in County Donegal. The path that the Allies were allowed to take came to be known as the Donegal Corridor. Of course, this kind of Irish involvement led to deeper involvement. Eventually, the Irish were so aware of the Ally planes that they could report when one crashed before the British knew about. They often had a hand in sending the Ally troops safely back on their way as well. Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived McGowan, Joe. 2003.

Title A name given to the resource The Anglo-Irish Treaty Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource December 6, 1921 Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Irish and English Delegates Arthur Griffith Lloyd George Description An account of the resource The Anglo-Irish Treaty, signed on December 6, 1921, ended the Irish War of Independence. The delegations that created the treaty were led by Irishman Arthur Griffith, Griffith's second Michael Collins, and Englishman Lloyd George. Much to the relief of the Irish, the treaty successfully ended the war and created the Irish Free State. However, there was heavy opposition to the treaty as well. Irishman and leader of the Irish Republic, de Valera, did not approve of the Free State or its undermining of his and Pearse's Republic. In addition, the treaty still required an Irish oath of allegiance to the crown. De Valera had initially been invited to London to take part in the negotiations, but Griffith had been sent in his stead per the decision of the Dáil Cabinet. De Valera's un-involvement heavily influenced his rejection of the treaty. The tensions between those who accepted the treaty and those in opposition eventually helped lead to the Irish Civil War in 1922.
