The Land League was an Irish organization founded in 1879 to advocate for tenant farmers' rights. It aimed to address issues such as high rents, eviction, and land ownership, which were significant problems for many Irish families. The movement sought to promote fair treatment and secure land tenure for tenants, leading to widespread support among the rural population. The Land League was closely associated with prominent figures like Charles Stewart Parnell, who played a crucial role in its leadership. The organization organized protests and campaigns, which eventually influenced land reform legislation in Ireland, contributing to the eventual establishment of the Land Acts in the 1880s.
