What were the aims of the leaders of the Easter Rising ?

Answer 1

To free Eire from the evil British and establish a socialist Republic in Ireland.


The original plan, largely devised by Plunkett (and apparently very similar to a plan worked out independently by Connolly), was to seize strategic buildings throughout Dublin in order to cordon off the city, and resist the inevitable attack by the British army. If successful, the plan would have left the rebels holding a compact area of central Dublin, roughly bounded by the canals and the circular roads. However, this strategy would have required more men than the 1,250 or so who were actually mobilized on Easter Monday. As a result, the rebels left several key points within the city, notably Dublin Castle and Trinity College, in British hands, meaning that their own forces were separated from each other. This in effect doomed the rebel positions to be isolated and taken one after the other. In the west of the country, local Volunteer units were intended to try to hold the west bank of the river Shannon for as long as possible. However, without adequate numbers, arms or military expertise on the Volunteer's part, this was never a realistic prospect. Overall, the rebel's hope was that the British would concede Irish self-government rather than divert resources from the Western Front to try to contain a rebellion in their rear.
