On April 24, 1916, on Easter Monday in Dublin, the Irish
Republican Brotherhood, a secret organization of Irish
nationalists led by Patrick Pearse, launches the so-called
Easter Rebellion, an armed uprising against British rule.
Assisted by militant Irish socialists under James Connolly,
Pearse and his fellow Republicans rioted and attacked British
provincial government headquarters across Dublin and seized
the Irish capital’s General Post Office.
Following these successes, they proclaimed the independence
of Ireland, which had been under the repressive thumb of the
United Kingdom for centuries, and by the next morning were in
control of much of the city. Later that day, however, British
authorities launched a counteroffensive, and by April 29 the
uprising had been crushed.
