We had been defeated on the war of revolution, but failure is always our motion, we had sworn an unbreakable promised that we will never stop fighting until we reach the gate of freedom. As a great manoeuvre in 1905, we had created a Red Army – who will bring us to the gate of freedom and justice. Comrades! As I said “a great liberating war has risen”. The whole Europe is a battlefield and we are a vanguard in this war.
It was this devotion that made him actively partake throughout the Easter Rising of 1916 and led republicans during the Civil War. De Valera set up a government for the Irish Republic, and was elected President of the Dail. His intolerance of the British and his passion for independence led him to eventually become the Prime Minister of Ireland. Eamon De Valera showed heroic qualities throughout Irelands struggle and is said to be the hero of Irish Independence. Eamon De Valera was born on the 14th October, in Manhattan, New York in 1882.
In my third paragraph I will talk about Vimy Ridge, lead by the great General Arthur Currie and his success with Canada. I will be giving examples of why I think that allied leadership during World War One was ineffective. In 1916, at the beginning of the war was the battle of Somme. The battle was fought in Somme, France. Douglas Haig was leading the British, and was a very stubborn leader.
When Nationalism began in the 1800’s during the French Revolution it made a powerful impact that united Germany and Italy into nation-states, divided empires such as the Austro-Hungarian and Ottoman, and led to the future outbreak of wars like the Franco-Prussian and Seven Week War with Austria. Nationalism was the force that caused unification of similar cultures, religions, languages, and traditions. The Levee en Masse brought out Nationalism in the French Revolution by stating, “The young men shall go forth to battle; the women will make tents, uniforms, and will serve in the hospitals; the old men will gather in public places to raise the courage of the warriors…” which encouraged the people to gather together to fight against the same enemy. (Document 1) Something else that encouraged the people to fight was the French National Anthem,
(Textbook) religious balance of power for decades as Protestants fought Catholics seesawed.After Ireland joined the religious war, the English explorers set out to establish colonies in the New World. These colonies reaching religious freedom was their last hope. The similarities between the Spanish and English explorers was their relationship with the Native Americans.

Once a hero, always a hero “Taken warriors in their strength and led them.” - Rosie the Riveter or the one and only Beowulf? Line eight hundred and twenty six demonstrates the common ground between the hero of the Geats and lantern of American women, one invincible and highly destructive, the other lighting the way into the courageous positions the characters of the 1940's sought. Annihilation, destruction, and bloodshed, oh my! The Anglo-Saxon society thrived on warfare. Battles were on top of the list to determine one's character and will power.
The reasons for the defeat of the Whites have long been a topic of debate. White historians have identified superior numbers of Red troops, as well as the Reds controlling 'most of the war industry, and most of the establishments and stores of the old imperial army and navy'. Conversely, Red historians have overestimated superior strategy as a cause of their victory. Even Trotsky admitted that '[although] we defeated our enemies, it cost us the greatest losses. We took too long over every battle, every war, every campaign'.
The war produced more than 970,000 casualties, and 620,000 soldiers died. Even though all these soldiers died, “260,000 from the South and 360,000 from the North”9 were worth it, because four million slaves freed by the war. On January 1, 1863, the emancipation proclamation order issued by President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed the freedom of slaves; however, the thirteenth amendment of the constitution end slavery completely in the United States.10 In the end, the civil war was very devastating. Many citizens died in this war than any other war in American history. The two causes of the civil war were slavery and Abraham Lincoln.
W.B Yeats eloquently described the very essence of Fenianism as ‘the kind of historical crisis which produces literature because it produces passion’[1] The Fenian movement was first borne abroad in the United States of America. The name for the Fenians derived from the age old Irish warriors ‘the Fianna’. Two men, John O’Mahoney and Michael Doheny led this group in 1848, a movement dedicated to reform and the expression of utmost hostility towards Great Britain. By 1858 the movement was in the process of being organised and formed in Ireland with the aid of leadership under James Stephens. A prominent figure in the Irish Fenian circle was O’Donovan Rossa, the founder of the phoenix society.
The significance of the First World War in Virginia Woolf’s Mrs Dalloway. “All Woolf’s work is deeply concerned with war; that it helps to redefine our understanding of the nature of war; and that from her earliest to her final work she sought to explore and make clear the connection between private and public violence between the domestic and the civic effects of patriarchal society, between male supremacy and the absence of peach and between ethics and aesthetics”[1] Virginia Woolf was very aware of how the First World War effected every British person’s life. The years after the way, especially the five in-between the end of the war and 1923 when the novel Mrs Dalloway is set were very important years in the development of British post war society. These were the years in which the effects of the war were absorbed into people’s lives and into society as a whole. The novel dwells on how certain individuals will never recover from the effects of the war, how certain changes cannot be absorbed.
