Part I: Summary The history of Ireland is a vast and fascinating tale that has been translated into history, folk tales, mythology, and can be written and talked about for ages, which it has been. Now I could write a 100 page essay with a bibliography on this subject but of course it shall be condensed down to 6 pages. The two chapters/subjects I have chosen to write about from the “In Search of Ancient Ireland” text are chapter 9: Raiders from the Sea, and chapter 10: Viking Kings in Dublin. I…

Cowgate in the year 1868. Connolly is perhaps most fondly remembered for his role as the military commander of the Easter Rising of 1916 in Dublin . Connolly was born into an Irish Catholic immigrant family, his father, John was born in some part of Ireland and it is believed his mother, Mary, originally came from County Monaghan . Connolly had five other siblings and the family lived in a slum area of Edinburgh among other Irish immigrant families. As a teen, James Connolly served in the…

It all started as a follow-up to the Irish war of independence. After the war, Great Britain and Ireland signed the Anglo-Irish Treaty. The treaty concluded the war and turned Ireland into a free state. It also gave Northern Ireland an opportunity to secede from the Irish Free State and become a part of the United Kingdom, an opportunity they quickly grasped. The treaty was supposed to help Ireland, but it didn’t help at all and there are several reasons for this. The treaty dissolved the…

Ireland is an island in the North Atlantic. It is separated from Great Britain to its east by the North Channel, the Irish Sea, and St George's Channel. Ireland is called Éire in Irish and is also known as the Republic of Ireland. Politically, Ireland is divided between the Republic of Ireland (officially named Ireland), which covers five-sixths of the island, and Northern Ireland, which is part of the United Kingdom, in the northeast of the island. The United Kingdom is the only country…

The conflict between the government of Great Britain and the people of Ireland extend from the farthest reaches of the 12th Century when Norman invaders conquered the Ireland. The most recent iteration of this struggle began in the 20th Century with the rise of the most prominent Irish independent group to date, the Irish Republican Army (IRA). The origins of the IRA began as other smaller splinter groups had become inefficient at fighting for Irish independence. Former members of the Irish…

My project is on the country Ireland. Ireland is a large island located in the North Atlantic, West of Great Britain. Ireland is the third-largest Island in Europe and the twentieth-largest in the world. The geography consists of several low lying mountains surrounding a central plain, with several rivers expanding inland. The island 32,599 square miles. The climate is always humid, because of the high precipitation. The capital of Ireland is Dublin. I choose Ireland because of my Irish heritage…

In Irish history, people saw Ireland as a place of savage barbarians, when they were actually just protecting their fellow man. One example was in 1798 when the Irish rebelled against Britain trying to reform them to a mini version of England, when they just want to be their own independent country. Ireland is a mirror for Britain by how when Britain does something to Ireland, Ireland in return attacks with the same force and with Ireland taking a liking to the French because of their rules…

W.B. Yeats’ Opinion of War W.B. Yeats was an Irish poet during the late 1800’s and early 1900’s. He wrote following the belief of “spiritus mundi”, the spirit of the universe and the collective unconscious or memory, which influences him to write around different mythologies, despite being a Christian. “Spiritus Mundi” leads to two of the works that reflect his opinion regarding war and conquest. Through these two works, “Leda and the Swan” and “The Second Coming,” Yeats’ opinion of war as a…

question whether Joyce intends to insinuate that success is only possible outside of Dublin, and that ambition and Celtic nationalism are incongruous. Having left Ireland at twenty years old, Joyce apparently aligns himself with Gallaher, who also achieved literary prominence in exile, thereby both perpetuating the notion that remaining in Ireland is not conducive to intellectual pursuits, and thus grounding his story in personal experience.…
