Easter Rising
Easter Rising (April 24, 1916) Rebellion by Irish nationalists against British rule, led by Patrick
Pearse of the Irish Republican Brotherhood
(IRB) and James
Connolly of
Sinn Féin. The British Navy intercepted an arms shipment from Germany and arrested Roger
Casement (the IRB's contact with Germany), but the insurrection went ahead as planned. On Easter Monday,
c.1500 volunteers seized buildings in Dublin, including the General Post Office, and proclaimed Ireland a republic. By April 29, the British had crushed the rising. Sixteen of the ringleaders were executed, and 2000 people imprisoned. In 1917, Eamon
De Valera was granted an amnesty and nationalist sentiment produced an electoral victory for Sinn Féin.
