Dublin, April 24th, 1916. Easter Monday.
Nationalists have occupied several key buildings in the area and begun to put their plans of rebellion into action! They've cut lines of communication and have even bombed the railroad tracks. They speak to the people of Dublin. Telling them this is the first day of a new nation, The Irish Republic but as night falls the British government works to funnel soldiers into the city. Opening fire into a city full of civilians.

Something to add about the resistance against the rising. There were many in Dublin (particularly in South Dublin) that were Unionists. These people opposed home rule and independence. They also left Dublin after independence and went up North. Trinity College was a largely Protestant College, so most people inside it were supportive of the Union. Guinness was a company owned by a Protestant family, who was also loyal to the UK. Hence why they aided the UK.

@@theanglo-lithuanian1768 You are greatly sanitising the political reality of Ireland, religious discrimination was a multigenerational weapon used to marginalise and destroy Irish culture and language, and keep the majority of the population away from organs of power. Ireland was ruled by a foreign elite, and their minority descendants. If you were a Catholic of Gaelic origin, you faced few prospects in work, political representation, property and fairness from the law. Places like Trinity or Dublin Castle were British institutions run for British interests and British people, along with their Anglo-Irish allies. The formation of modern policing by the end of the 19th century and into the early 20th, had the RIC as the most heavily militatised police force in the United Kingdom. It was not like England.

Guinness doesn't actually have the kind of holding in Irish society that the rest of the world gives them credit for. Smithwicks, Heineken, and Budweiser are what you'll more commonly see being consumed.

1:49 I think the revolutionaries would have been far more successful if they had secured the magazine fort mentioned at 3:02 that they pillaged and then blew up instead of St Stephen’s Green. It was far more secure and they would have had access to ammunition they may have missed when they pillaged it. That or an armoury/gun factory, since, in my mind, if you have an ammunition factory in your city there might be a gun factory as well (unless that was Dublin Castle). P.S a hospital/medical supply centre or the ports, train station or telephone exchange you mentioned at 4:23 would have also been a better choice to capture over St Stephen’s Green.

@fluffybunny5518 Жыл бұрын

Why were scarce resources allocated to a biscuit factory and hotel? Isn’t a railway station, port or phone exchange a higher priority target?

I haven't watched extra for so long.I'm guessing this is part of the Irish Revolution! (I'm British btw)

Not quite, this is before the Irish revolution, this one was crushed (Spoiler alert... I guess). But British action during this rebellion did help inspire a new wave of nationalism with led to the Irish revolution.

I would've expected that by afternoon they would've captured Dublin University or something.

That's just iconic of armed rebellions, huh? Unarmed police officer, Nationalist War-Hero, both Irish and both killed by their own people.

I would love to see a Russian Revolution series from you. It would be so interesting to see such an important revolution animated in your style.

There is a really good series on Netflix called the Last Tsars, sorr of a lead up to the russian revolution. Definitely worth a look

What are you referring to exactly? They haven’t done much of socialist history because they don’t usually do series after 1920 (the ones they do are usually sponsored) and there is lots of history to cover anyway. Was there some issue with Cuban Missile Crisis, Berlin Airlift or the Space Race? I don’t recall there being others.

At 2:00 when you showed the name Sean Connolly in the video I could not deny but be shocked at looking at it because my Brother in law has that exact name so mind giving me a shout out in your future videos so that it seems fair for my family.

"As down the glen one Easter morn, to a city fair rode I. There armed lines of marching men, in squadrons passed me by. No pipe did hum, nor battle drum did sound its loud tattoo. But the Angelus Bells o'er the Liffey swells, rang out in the foggy dew! Right proudly high in Dublin town, they hung out a flag of war! 'Twas better to die 'neath that Irish sky, than at Sulva or Sud-El-Bar! And from the plains of Royal Meath, Strong men came hurrying through! While Brittania's Huns, with their long range guns, sailed in through the foggy dew! Their bravest fell and the requiem bell, rang mournfully and clear! For those who died that Eastertide in the Springing of the year! While the world did gaze with deep amaze at those fearless men but few! Who bore the fight that freedom's light, Might shine through the foggy dew. And back through the glen, I rode again! And my heart with grief was sore! For I parted then with valiant men, whom I never shall see no more! But to and fro in my dreams I go, and I kneel and pray for you! For slavery fled! O glorious dead! When you fell in the foggy dew.."
