Irish War of Independence
1919 CE – 1921 CE · 2 years
Following the 1916 Easter Rising, the IRA waged a guerrilla war against British rule in Ireland. Michael Collins's intelligence network and flying columns forced Britain to negotiate. The Anglo-Irish Treaty created the Irish Free State but excluded Northern Ireland, leading directly to the Irish Civil War.
