Collins, Michael (1890–1922). Collins is the best‐known 20th‐cent. Irish revolutionary leader. From a west Cork farming background, he moved to London at 15. He played a background role in Dublin during the
Easter Rising. After internment, Collins became the key figure in the reorganized Irish Volunteers/
Irish Republican Army. Against his will, he was a negotiator at the Anglo‐Irish conference of October–December 1921, revealing his pragmatism by signing the
Anglo‐Irish treaty. As chairman of provisional government January–June 1922, Collins presided over the establishment of the new state while striving toappease anti‐treaty former colleagues. While visiting pro‐treaty troops as commander‐in‐chief, he was killed in a west Cork ambush on 22 August 1922.
