Despite this issue, DLG and the British Government set in place a range of Acts and treaty’s in order to successfully resolve this issue. It may however be argued that they made the situation worse by partitioning Ireland, splitting it into the Unionists in the North and the Republicans in the South. David Lloyd George decided to tackle this problem with a strategy revolving around repression and reform. He decided to send in a group called the ‘Black and Tans’. These were army and police men and were sent to fight the IRA and reduce the chances of the civilians of Ireland retaliating.
S7 also highlights the importance of the conscription crisis, which can be argued to be a result of British ignorance, or the manipulation and stirring up by the revolutionary party Sinn Fein which also had a key role in the conflict. Finally it can also be argued that other factors were involved, which allowed the Irish conflict to be triggered, such as the failure of Home Rule and the breakdown of the IPP particularly during the Ulster Crisis, and after the Easter Rebellion of 1914. To an extent, it can be argued that the main cause of the Anglo-Irish conflict of 1919-21 was nationalist extremism. Hepburn asses that 'their [extremists] first opportunity' arose during the Ulster Crisis, in events such as the Larne gun-running incident April 1914, which ultimately resulted a race between extreme nationalists and Ulster Unionists to become armed . The source describes how the extremists then spiralled
Gladstone’s main goal was to pacify Ireland and he was the first British politician to tackle the unfair way in which Ireland was run. Firstly the Disestablishment of the Anglican Church in Ireland, removed a major grievance for the Irish people. As only 12% of the population were part of the Anglican Church, yet they still had to pay tariffs towards it, Gladstone felt this was wrong and unacceptable. He felt it was unfair on the people in Ireland, and there was need for action after the Nationalist Fenian activity in 1867. The terms of the Act meant the Church was disestablished and disowned, leaving it to govern itself.
Although he had some successes, he was a very harsh ruler. So, Parliament decided to impeach Strafford based on weak accusations. For example, they said that he was heard saying to the King himself “Your Majesty, you have an army in Ireland, which you may employ here to reduce this kingdom.” However, this was supposedly said in a Privy council meeting, which surely means should be private conversation. He himself pointed out that one should be entitled to freedom of speech! Another accusation was made by a man who was nearly half deaf!
Thomas Cooper clearly believed that any violence would undermine the cause. However from this source we can clearly identify a key weakness of the Chartist movement. This is the fact that Thomas Cooper says that the violence that day was at Longton, Lancashire. This shows a key reason for the chartist downfall, that being its simple lack of National Unity and organisation. The uprising was only located in Longton, no where else in the country much like the Newport Riots before it.
Joseph Russell Candidate Number: 5145 Unit 4: Ireland and the Union 1815- 1922 How Significant Was The Contribution Of Michael Collins To The Successes Of Irish Republicanism In The Period 1916- 1922? Michael Collins used a number of methods to improve and force the chance for an Irish Republic down the British throats. His tactics were brutal and fully committed to the cause. However along with Collins other figures within Irish Republicanism were equally important to the success of the movement, and were also just as committed to winning Ireland for the Irish. We see Collins relentless attitude expressed in a statement made by himself when in court in April 1918 facing a charge of inciting people to steal guns.
Source C is a speech by the leader of the Irish Nationalists John Redmond. Source C says " the idea of two nations in Ireland is revolting and hateful" From this we are able to see the extremist view he has and his strong views towards the exclusion of ulster from the home rule bill. Redmond wanted the whole of Ireland independent, we know this from when the source says " The proposed exclusion of Ulster would mean the disintegration of our nation for all time" by this Redmond is saying that by separating ireland it would make them beyond repair and would cause them to crumble. Therefore Source C is showing the extremist view of the Irish Nationalists. Redmond had been fighting for the home rule bill to be passed.
There are many ways that Gladstone’s First Ministry could be considered to be successful. Firstly, Gladstone had a passion to pacify Ireland, this was because he feared other countries would use Ireland as an invasion base to attack Britain. Also Irish nationalists called Fenians tried to seize power of churches, which lead to the ‘Disestablishment of the Anglican Church in Ireland 1869’ The terms of the act allowed the church to govern itself as it was no longer legally established by parliament. It was seen as so liberal it was radical and extended the principal of religious liberalism to Ireland. Another successful act passed involving Ireland was the ‘Irish Land Act 1870’ Tenants were now given compensation for eviction and there were limitations of landlord power, it was a step to improving Ireland, even though it was not as successful as the previous act, and had more opposition as Irish nationalists wanted British landlords to leave Ireland completely.
Active lizards such as peacock day geckos use their sight and speed to not get caught by their predators.They can hide under stones or in the ground when they are not active.The predators of the peacock day gecko are large birds like owls, snakes and other large animals. Peacock day geckos can lay two to three eggs at a time. They lay their eggs in sheltered areas, such an an area of moss or under any other sheltered plant.Peacock day geckos feed thier babies daily.They spend their days leaping around looking for insects, lapping up necter and juices, getting pollen and overripe fruits. The peacock day gecko is not an endangered species. The smallest lizards are geckos.
They represent the restrictions imposed upon us by civilisation to prevent us from doing harm. This is demonstrated when Roger is throwing stones at Henry. He throws to miss as there is a “space around Henry, into which he dare not throw.” We see that civilisation has “conditioned” his arm and prevents him from doing harm to others. The stones at this point represent the boundary that civilisation imposes on our behaviour. However, as the book continues we see the stones become a thing of evil as Roger loses his grip on civilisation.
