To what extent did the Liberals, Conservatives, IPP, the Ulster Unionists and the Southern achieve their political objectives during the Home Rule crisis of 1912-14? During the third Home Rule bill crisis of 1912-1914 there was many differing objectives among those who lived in Ireland and those in Westminster who governed Ireland. The Liberal Party and the Irish Parliamentary Party, otherwise known as the IPP, wanted Home Rule for all of Ireland. However the Conservative Party and Ulster and Southern Unionists wanted to prevent Home Rule completely. Home Rule for Ireland meant that an Independent Irish Parliament would stand in Dublin to govern Irish affairs, still having an Irish representation in Westminster, whilst Westminster would govern all issues to do with the crown, defence and imperial government.

In 1945, the British viceroy handed power back to India freely. Mohandas Gandhi fought with nonviolence before the British handed over the power back to India. Gandhi describes the positive motives for a nonviolence approach to Indian independence, “Passive resistance is a method of securing rights by personal suffering…” (Doc 3) India was a huge asset to the British Empire especially during World War II. Gandhi said, “I am shaking the foundations of the British Empire.” (Doc 3) He yelled this statement during the Salt March.

Edmund Burke Edmund Burke was born on 12 January 1729 in Dublin Ireland. He was a British statesman, author, orator, political theorist and philosopher. After arriving in England he started his political career in the House of Commons in 1765 as a member of the Whig party.

Power To The People? Government Actually In Federalist Paper #6, Alexander Hamilton’s argument to the public of the 13 states is that if they were to remain independent states they would undoubtedly end up fighting with one another and engaging in wars with one another. Neighboring states or nations are naturally going to compete for resources and therefore could result in turning hostile. History has shown that republics are just as likely to fight against each other as are states. Hamilton states that the only solution to this foreseen problem is to form a union with institutions for resolving disputes, now known as the United States court system, to prevent devastating conflicts between the states.
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 .

Redmond had been fighting for the home rule bill to be passed.

The speech was said in Jan 1913 that was nearly a year after the Third home rule was introducded to Parliament, however since then there had been a rise in unionist protests which would have infurated him as they was challenging his view and causing tension in Ireland between the 2 sides.
