As an Irish person this is good to see, but one slight flaw. Ireland officially became a republic in 1949 (essentially became a republic in 1937 after Bunreacht na hEireann), in 1922 we became a Dominion, similar to Canada. In fact this is part of the reason why the Irish civil war in 1922 happened, many felt that the republic they fought for had been betrayed

Indeed they had been bettrayed and the aims of 1916 Proclamation were tramped all over by those Irish Free State traitors. You only have to look at the names of the women in the Dáil on 7 Jan 1922 100% of whom voted against the treaty whereas only 40% off the men did...God bless them all I say.

@@FlyingFox1994 The famine was covered a bit in my history schooling in Scotland (around 2010) in high school. Not a huge mention and was sandwiched in with things like the voting reform acts, mining and more as kind of a lead-up to WW1. That was the only real mention of Irish history, even with Jacobean stuff it focused more on Scotland and results such as the clearances and land reform in the highlands. Series like these and the searches they inspire are definitely the reason why I know a more rounded view of history.

Irish, Scottish Gaelic and Manx are all apart of the Goidelic side of the Celtic language tree, while Welsh, Cornish and Breton are apart of the Brythonic side of the tree. The difference is the Goidelic languages originally are Irish who moved or invaded into lands such as Scotland, which originally spoke pictish, while Brythonic languages are those who originated on the island of Britian, such is the case with Breton which is now spoken in Brittany, France. And such as Welsh and Cornish.

A quick note of correction at 1:32. By 1922, Ireland would not be "a republic independent from the United Kingdom". It was instead the Irish Free State which was a dominion of the British Empire, of similar status to Canada and Australia. In fact, it would not become a full republic until 1949 when it severed ties with the Commonwealth.

As an Englishman, this series will be very interesting but also rather upsetting just knowing how bloody the relationship between the United Kingdom and Ireland was in the early 20th century. The Easter Rising, The Irish War of Independence, and the Irish Civil War were bloody, messy and violent and it is a shame that both our nations were embroiled in this due to faulty and idiotic politics. The effects were still felt up to the Troubles of the late 20th century, which from the stories and first hand accounts I’ve heard, makes me feel sick, even ashamed with how both sides acted. This series will definitely help to educate on how Ireland earned its independence, but also show just what it would lead to. To all the Irishmen (and women) reading this, both from Northern Ireland and The Republic of Ireland, I look forward to learning more about your history 🙂

7 minutes in and I already can't wait for the "Lies" episode to explain why the "Mausers" are drawn as Mosins, and why they skipped right over that the Home Rule bill wasn't just put on a back burner, but outright cancelled for fear an Irish Parliament would vote to stay Neutral, and cost England the ability to conscript Irishmen for their war. Also gotta love how Germany invades Belgium because they refused to allow Germany to attack France through Belgium, so England declares war, only to do the EXACT SAME THING just weeks later when Greece refuses to allow England to attack the Ottomans at Gallipoli from Greece. Too bad the English didn't send Englishmen to die on that shoreline, instead sending their colonists to die for them.

What makes you think there were no Englishmen at Gallipoli?

I've been obsessed with everything Irish for years despite having nothing to do with the culture in the slightest. The trip to Dublin my mates and I took a few years ago remains one of my most joyous memories. This series is gonna be awesome.

Me too. This is the sort of videos their channel hooked me with. Irish history seems to be one of those that gets ignored outside of "potato famine = more immigration".

Ireland gained dominion status six years after the rising, it did not declare itself a Republic until 1937. This was, in fact, one of the disagreements that led to the civil war.
