Home Rule, Irish

Home Rule, Irish Movement to gain Irish legislative independence from the British Parliament in the 19th century. In the 1830s and 1840s, Daniel O'Connell's Repeal Association unsuccessfully challenged the Act of Union (1800) between Britain and Ireland. In the 1870s, Isaac Butt began the Home Rule League. His successor, Charles Parnell, won Gladstone's support, but the first Home Rule Bill of 1886 split the Liberal Party and sent Liberal Unionists into the arms of the Conservative Party. This coalition defeated a second bill in 1893. In 1912, Parliament passed a third bill, presented by Herbert Asquith, but the outbreak of World War I postponed implementation. A guerrilla war led by the Irish Republican Army (IRA) and the landslide victory for Sinn Féin in Irish elections followed the Easter Rising (1916). In 1919, the Dáil Éireann claimed independence. In 1920, Lloyd George's government passed a fourth Home Rule Bill establishing separate parliaments in Dublin and Belfast. In 1921 Arthur Griffith and Michael Collins signed the Anglo-Irish Treaty that created the Irish Free State and gave de facto recognition to Northern Ireland. Eamon De Valera opposed the agreement and the Irish Free State plunged into civil war.
