Why the IRA Lost The Irish Civil War 1922-1923 (4K Documentary)
Watch 16 Days in Berlin on Nebula: https://nebula.tv/videos/16-days-in-berlin-01-prologue-the-beginning-of-the-end
The Anglo-Irish Treaty and the withdrawal of Great Britain from almost all of Ireland was supposed to be a big step towards full Irish independence. But the pro-Treaty Irish Free State and the anti-Treaty IRA couldn't bridge their differences and so the Irish Civil War broke out. With further support from Britain and drastic measures, the Irish National Army was able to quell the IRA uprising that didn't have the popular support they previously enjoyed.

IRISH REVOLUTION 1922
The Irish War of Independence (Irish: Cogadh na Saoirse,[4]) Anglo-Irish War, Black and Tan War,[5] or Tan War[6] was a guerrilla war mounted by the Irish Republican Army (IRA) against the British government and its forces in Ireland. It began in January 1919, following the Irish Republic's declaration of independence. Both sides agreed to a ceasefire (or "truce") in July 1921. The post-ceasefire talks led to the December 1921 Anglo-Irish Treaty. This treaty ended British rule in most of Ireland and, after a ten-month transitional period overseen by a provisional government, the Irish Free State was established. However, six northern counties remained within the United Kingdom as Northern Ireland, with its own devolved parliament. After the ceasefire, political and sectarian violence (betw...

Why IRA lost the Irish civil war 1922- 1923? History of Ireland
The Irish Civil War (Irish: Cogadh Cathartha na hÉireann; 28 June 1922 – 24 May 1923) was a conflict that followed the Irish War of Independence and accompanied the establishment of the Irish Free State, an entity independent from the United Kingdom but within the British Empire.
The civil war was waged between the Provisional Government of Ireland and the anti-Treaty Irish Republican Army (1922–1969) (IRA) over the Anglo-Irish Treaty. The Provisional Government (which became the Free State in December 1922) supported the terms of the treaty, while the anti-Treaty opposition saw it as a betrayal of the Irish Republic that had been proclaimed during the Easter Rising of 1916. Many of the combatants had fought together against the British in the Irish Republican Army (1919-1922) during the ...

How Ireland Became Bitterly Divided | Irish War of Independence
2023 marks the 25th anniversary of signing of The Belfast (Good Friday) Agreement, which brought an end to 30 years of conflict in Northern Ireland known as 'the Troubles'. This conflict had a deep and embedded history that stretches back over a century.
Between 1919 and 1921, Ireland played host to a long and bloody guerrilla conflict between British state forces and Irish republican guerrillas, in the form of Irish Volunteers or the Irish Republican Army (IRA). The conflict would completely transform the political landscape in Ireland.
In this documentary, Dr Conor Mulvagh and Professor Marie Coleman break down this critical period of Irish history, and the legacy of the War of Independence today.

Why is Ireland divided? | The significance and legacy of the Government of Ireland Act 1920
In this video made with and for the UK Parliamentary Archives we explore the partition of Ireland, implemented by the Government of Ireland Act 1920.
Clarification Note:
7.20: In fact, the immediate targets of the Unionist led move to drop Proportional Representation were smaller parties like the Northern Ireland Labour Party but the result remained the same. The dropping of PR helped strengthen the UUP’s hold on Northern Ireland Parliament, a state of affairs that excluded Nationalists from any decision-making throughout that Parliament's existence. While after the introduction of Direct Rule in 1972 it was generally accepted that Nationalists had to be included in any new system of devolved government, power-sharing did not become established until the Good Friday settlement.

Why the Troubles started in Northern Ireland
The complicated history of Northern Ireland is hotly contested. The bloody 30-year conflict known as the Troubles caused thousands of deaths, with deep divisions across Northern Ireland, and the situation remains highly divisive to this day. This four-part series will examine the entire history of the Troubles, from the causes of the conflict to the long and difficult peace negotiations. In this first episode, we take an in depth look at the origin of the Troubles. Though the conflict began in earnest in 1969, the divisions that caused it can be traced back centuries.

The Irish Civil War (Irish: Cogadh Cathartha na hÉireann; 28 June 1922 – 24 May 1923) was a conflict that followed the Irish War of Independence and accompanied the establishment of the Irish Free State, an entity independent from the United Kingdom but within the British Empire.
The civil war was waged between the Provisional Government of Ireland and the anti-Treaty Irish Republican Army (1922–1969) (IRA) over the Anglo-Irish Treaty. The Provisional Government (which became the Free State in December 1922) supported the terms of the treaty, while the anti-Treaty opposition saw it as a betrayal of the Irish Republic that had been proclaimed during the Easter Rising of 1916. Many of the combatants had fought together against the British in the Irish Republican Army (1919-1922) during the War of Independence, and had divided after that conflict ended and the treaty negotiations began.
The Civil War was won by the pro-treaty National Army, who first secured Dublin by early July, then went on the offensive against the anti-Treaty strongholds of the south and west, especially the 'Munster Republic', successfully capturing all urban centres by late August. The guerrilla phase of the Irishi Civil War lasted another 10 months, before the IRA leadership issued a "dump arms" order to all units, effectively ending the conflict. The National Army benefited from substantial quantities of weapons provided by the British government, particularly artillery and armoured cars.

⬇️ Did you have a relative in the Railway Protection, Repair and Maintenance Corps? Comment below ⬇️
In the early 1900s, Ireland heavily relied on rail travel due to a poor national road network.
Following the 1916 Easter Rising, the British government took control of twenty-eight railway operating companies. When British control ended in August 1921, the railway companies refused to uphold agreements made with workers, leading to the prediction of widespread railway strikes in 1922.
Amidst this uncertainty, the civil war erupted in June 1922. The anti-Treaty IRA adopted hit-and-run tactics, targeting railways, disrupting communications and crippling the fledgling economy overseen by the provisional Government.
In response, the government sought help from the National Union of Railwaymen to protect the railway network and the Railway Protection, Repair and Maintenance Corps was established in September 1922. The Corps recruited from railwaymen and National Army soldiers, forming two classes: A for railwaymen and B for regular soldiers. Class A operated armoured trains and rail-mounted cars, while Class B manned blockhouses and guarded stations, both working to repair damage to the rail network.
The Corps reached its peak in June 1923 with up to 5,000 officers and men, mainly former railway employees. They operated patrols with armoured trains and Lancia armoured cars modified for rail use. The Lancia cars were widened to fit the Irish gauge, had an armoured roof and accommodated up to ten soldiers.
Despite its efforts, the Corps couldn't fully secure the rail system from anti-Treaty IRA attacks.
The Irish Army used the Lancia cars back in their original road-going form until the early years of World War II. Sadly, no surviving Lancia rail cars are known to exist today, though one was reportedly stored at Inchicore Works until the 1950s.

The Irish Army used the Lancia cars back in their original road-going form until the early years of World War II. Sadly, no surviving Lancia rail cars are known to exist today, though one was reportedly stored at Inchicore Works until the 1950s.

2023 marks the 25th anniversary of signing of The Belfast (Good Friday) Agreement, which brought an end to 30 years of conflict in Northern Ireland known as 'the Troubles'. This conflict had a deep and embedded history that stretches back over a century.
Between 1919 and 1921, Ireland played host to a long and bloody guerrilla conflict between British state forces and Irish republican guerrillas, in the form of Irish Volunteers or the Irish Republican Army (IRA). The conflict would completely transform the political landscape in Ireland.
In this documentary, Dr Conor Mulvagh and Professor Marie Coleman break down this critical period of Irish history, and the legacy of the War of Independence today.
Directed by Mark Bowsher.

In this video made with and for the UK Parliamentary Archives we explore the partition of Ireland, implemented by the Government of Ireland Act 1920.
Clarification Note:
7.20: In fact, the immediate targets of the Unionist led move to drop Proportional Representation were smaller parties like the Northern Ireland Labour Party but the result remained the same. The dropping of PR helped strengthen the UUP’s hold on Northern Ireland Parliament, a state of affairs that excluded Nationalists from any decision-making throughout that Parliament's existence. While after the introduction of Direct Rule in 1972 it was generally accepted that Nationalists had to be included in any new system of devolved government, power-sharing did not become established until the Good Friday settlement.

The complicated history of Northern Ireland is hotly contested. The bloody 30-year conflict known as the Troubles caused thousands of deaths, with deep divisions across Northern Ireland, and the situation remains highly divisive to this day. This four-part series will examine the entire history of the Troubles, from the causes of the conflict to the long and difficult peace negotiations. In this first episode, we take an in depth look at the origin of the Troubles. Though the conflict began in earnest in 1969, the divisions that caused it can be traced back centuries.
