Irish Republican movement
The Irish Republican movement is a political and social movement that seeks to establish a united Ireland, free from British rule. It has its roots in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, with various groups advocating for Irish independence, including the Irish Republican Army (IRA) and Sinn Féin. The movement has historically been associated with both peaceful protests and armed conflict.
Throughout the 20th century, the movement gained prominence during the Irish War of Independence and later during the Troubles, a violent conflict in Northern Ireland. Today, the movement continues to influence politics in both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland, with ongoing discussions about reunification and national identity.
