The Irish Rebellions refer to a series of uprisings in Ireland aimed at gaining independence from British rule. Notable rebellions include the Easter Rising of 1916, where Irish republicans sought to establish an independent Irish state. This event marked a significant turning point in Irish history, leading to increased support for nationalist movements. Another important rebellion was the Irish War of Independence (1919-1921), which followed the 1916 uprising. This conflict involved the Irish Republican Army (IRA) fighting against British forces. The war ultimately resulted in the signing of the Anglo-Irish Treaty, establishing the Irish Free State in 1922.
