The majority of the Irish following by the Protestant leader Charles Parnell wanted the independence of the Ireland while being under the British Crown with the project of the Home Rule which will be voted only in 1914 because of the Catholics who block the elections. The nationalist took advantage of the World War to force the hand of the government which led to the Easter Rising in 1916. Therefore, the Sinn Féiners create a military organization: the Irish Volunteers.
In 1918, the Sinn Féin which is a nationalist and republican Irish movement created in 1905 by Arthur Griffith obtain 73 seats in Parliament. The Irish Volunteers became in 1919 the Irish Republican Army (IRA).
In front of these movements of resistance the British tried the repression but the IRA responds with terrorist acts. Since 1920 the Irish Government Act split up both states with a border between The Ulster and the Southern Ireland. The British Prime Minister understands that they have to change the policy and began the negotiations with the Irish because of the rising acts of terrorism done by the IRA. The Irish Free State is established in 1922 thanks to the London treaty signed December 6th, 1921. But the Ulster is still not joined to the Irish Free State so the IRA multiplies the attacks and kills Michael Collins, the President of the Free State, and Arthur Griffith. The civil war had begun.
In 1948, Eire stopped to be a part of the Commonwealth and became the Irish Republic. London voted the Irish act but didn’t want to change the decision about the Ulster. It was high time for Eire to assert their identity.
