Irish Home Rule refers to a political movement aimed at granting Ireland self-governance while remaining part of the United Kingdom. The movement gained momentum in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, with key figures like Charles Stewart Parnell advocating for legislative independence. The push for Home Rule led to the introduction of several bills in the British Parliament. The most significant was the Government of Ireland Act 1914, which was delayed due to World War I. Ultimately, the movement contributed to the broader struggle for Irish independence, culminating in the establishment of the Irish Free State in 1922.
