...................Easter Rising..............

(1916) Republican insurrection in Ireland against the British, which began on Easter Monday, April 24. Led by Patrick Pearse and Tom Clarke, some 1,560 Irish Volunteers and 200 members of the Irish Citizen Army seized the Dublin General Post Office and other strategic points in Dublin. After five days of fighting, British troops put down the rebellion, and 15 of its leaders were tried and executed. Though the uprising itself had been unpopular with most of the Irish, the executions caused revulsion against the British authorities. The uprising heralded the end of British power in Ireland

..........Short summary..............

On Easter Monday, April 24, 1916, an estimated 1,000 to 1,500 Irish men and women launched a revolt to seize Dublin and overthrow the British powers in Ireland. The leaders, Patrick Pearse, James Connolly and others, knew the possibility of success was slim but persevered anyway.
................Important Factor..........

After the start of the First World War, the Irish Republican Brotherhood or IRB (not the Irish Republican Army, which was created later) decided that there must be an Irish rebellion while the British were preoccupied with the Germans.


.........The Dream that Started it...
http://ireland.iol.ie/~dluby/1916.htm
Dublin, seven men with a dream led out a small army of Irishmen and women -
******that Ireland might be free.*******
The dream was an age-old one, half-formed and rough shaped at first but becoming more clearly-defined down the years. The United Irishmen gave it substance, Wolfe Tone delineated it, Emmet, the Young Irelanders and the Fenians strove to achieve it.
