Battle of Killala

22 August 1798 - 23 September 1798

1798 Irish Rebellion

This picture dictates the battle at Killala, which was fought between the British and the Irish with some support from French troops. This also represents the efforts of the Society of United Irishmen in the Irish Rebellion of 1798. The leaders of the United Irishmen had reservations from seeking aid from France in the Irish Rebellion of 1798; it did come at this battle but only in small amounts. This is also consider the collapse of the United Irishmen, as they suffered military defeats by the British and little support from France, who was having trouble with its own issues. When the French were spotted in Killala bay, and landed at Killala led by the French General, Humbert, with barely one thousand men it was too late for the Irish Rebellion. As the Irish were already decimated by the British forces, this force was also defeated by the British and ended the hostiles of the Irish Rebellion
