Though many of the facts are correct, there are as many wrongs as there are misleading facts. For starters, Michael Collins wasn't that important (so say) during the 1916 Easter Rising; he wasn't a key figure but was important in his own right. He did help organise troops, parparing arms and acting as Joseph Plunkett's aide-de-camp. Most of his fame/involvement in Irish Independence came from his involvement/management of 'The Squad' and eventually director of intelligence. There is more surrounding him and his thoughts on the rebellion, specifically how it should be fought, but I just wanted to address the main points. Additionally, Ireland had always been fighting against British rule. Even though the action of the union is the official date of British rule in Ireland, Britain had been long impossible order/control over the country, outlawing Christianity, the Irish language/culture, taking land/property, removing the right to vote, education and so forth. Essential forcing Irish people to give up their way of life, language and culture and accept British rule/law. A primary example of this was the British response to the Famine; at the time, Irish peasants didn't own the land they lived/farmed on. Absentee landlords owned the land, and they rented it to the middleman, who in turn divided the land and rented those plots to the middleman, and so forth. This meant most Irish farmers would own less than a quarter of an acre, which they would live on and farm. Long story short, nearly all food grown in Ireland was sent to the UK; when the potato crop failed, the British government didn't do so much; they continued exporting food, and by the time it ended, over one million were dead, and a further two million emigrated. This began a rallying called the Easter Rising and, more importantly, the War of Independence. Not discussing the impact and long-term effects of the famine and its relation to Irish independence is misleading; it had a massive impact on Ireland and its relationship with Britain and was a pivotable moment that directly led to the Easter Rising and War of Independence. There is more I could talk about, like how it was suspected that part of the reason Éamon de Valera didn't attain the negotiations was because he knew a 32-county Independent Ireland was never going to happen, Britain would never agree with the terms, and the reason he sent Michael Collins was because he was popular with the public and being credited as the one who got Britain to the table. But I want to end by saying your video was obviously well-researched and entertaining; it was just inadvertently misleading and missed out on some key points.
Thanks for the very detailed comment. You're quite right about Collins and the Rising. My intention was to convey that he (and de Valera as well) came to be so important in the 1919-21 period in part because so many Republican leaders had been killed in 1916. To your main concern: Ireland had not "always been fighting against British rule". Ireland has fought against Britain many times, but not constantly. The last fighting before this video took place in the late 1790s to which the Acts of Union was Britain's response. From the British perspective, those worked. Britain's rule in Ireland was not actively endangered for about a century until the period in this video... which is why I made this video! The way I see it, you essentially describe two broad events; those being the 19th century relationship between the the island of Great Britain and the island of Ireland which while nominally part of the same country was treated as a periphery, and the revolutionary period starting in 1912. Those periods are obviously related and of great importance to each other, but as I said in another reply, what you're asking for is a book or a series of videos or a TV-length documentary. At 15 minutes, this is already the longest project I've ever produced and I don't feel I should apologise for focusing on the 1912-22 period. This is already a fairly surface-level take on ten years, meant to convey the main points. To cover a century in detail matching it would be impossible in this format. I do concede that I take it for granted that it is generally known that Britain and Ireland had a... rocky relationship (an understatement) for several centuries. I stand by that that is generally known, and so my focus on the separation itself is justified. Lastly, Britain never outlawed Christianity. That would be a very strange thing for a self-described monarchy ordained by the Christian God to do! Obviously I'm sure you know that, probably meant to write "Catholicism" not "Christianity", and you just had an inadvertent slip, but I wonder if it might be a somewhat telling slip? I've just lain out why I discussed what I discussed, but we each come to our own conclusions as to what periods of history ought to be focused on most.
@@LookBackHistory I'm sorry you seem to have taking what I've said as an attack, which it wasn't. I only wanted to point out some areas that you could of covered. Also what do you mean by a "Telling slip?", if you are form Ireland you would know that most people here refer to Catholicism as Christianity, with Protestants as a separate thing. Yes they are technical the same (well sort of there are differences and I do like the fact Protestants chruchs has pillows, and let there priest marry, never could understand why that was such a problem for the church), but it was outlawed by the crown sometime in and around 16th century, actually no let me reframe that, the Catholic Church was outlawed, not necessary Christianity, but being christ was frowned upon and you could be punished. And the way its often taught in Ireland, is that Christianity was outlawed. Know by the time of the Action of Union/Famine that was no longer the case, but the damage was done. Also, I'm not saying you need to talk in depth, but not mentioning the famine is an oversight; it played a pivotable moment. It seems to me you're taking feedback as an attack, and I'm sorry if I came across that way. It was never my intention. I just wanted to point out some elements that you left out/forgot, and if you have a problem with that, I apologise, as it was never my intention. But as an Irish person, we don't really separate the events of the famine, (you could put the lockout here), 1916 and the war of independence, its sort of seem as one continues event (not really the right word, but you understand what I mean)/momentum, as it all came together to weaken/damage Ireland/Britain relationship. But I will add, if you just want to give the facts, its not as important, but if you want to give environmental context (aka, what the county was feeling) them it is important. Again, this isn't me trying to attack you, just pointing stuff out and giving feedback. Also, the last revolution wasn't in the 1790s; it was in 1867. It wasn't a full-scale revolution, more like a small local revolt, a skirmish, maybe (I'm not really sure what word to use). The last full scale revolution was in the 1790s. Still I enjoyed the video. EDIT: I've removed this section of my reply (" but I get the feeling your attacking me for point out stuff, them I'm not sure I want to watch anymore of your stuff. Which is a shame, because I feel I'd really enjoy watching your videos.") as your not really attacking me or anyone and I apologies for saying that.
I also want to add, I should have worded my original comment better, saying stuff like misleading is wrong, as that implies (in my option) intent. I should of say missing or something else.
10:30 “a sudden disregard for the catholic Irish across most of British politics” ~ Unfortunately it was far from sudden, as the millions who perished in consecutive famines and uprisings from the preceding centuries will attest to.
its a bit misleading to skip over the whole history of Ireland fighting for her independence, such as the numerous previous rebellions, such as the one in 1798 rebellion (led by both protestants and catholics), which was the cause of the 1801 act of union. I also think its important to stress that the Unionists were the first to form paramilitaries against the state they loved. They imported German arms and were supported by the Conservative party.
Equally dishonest to ignore the fealties, oaths and obligations undertaken by the Irish Lords and Church that preceded these rebellions too, I'd suggest.
I understand you're concern, but I can't really get on board with this criticism. I did not skip over the whole history of Ireland fighting for independence, this video just isn't about that. This video covers a period of 10 years (1912-22) with a specific emphasis on 1919-21, as laid out in the title. What you're asking for is a book or a TV documentary or a series of many videos. Those are perfectly valid things to want to consume (I went through several of them to make this!) and I encourage anyone to do so. To your second point: I did mention that the Ulster Volunteers formed before the Irish Volunteers and that unionists were backed by the Conservatives. Watch 5:00 through till minute six. On the point of German arms imports: both groups did it which (and this, I think, is the critical point) wasn't necessarily treasonous in 1912 when the UK wasn't at war until 1914.
@@LookBackHistory Actually if you look at the way the Irish Volunteers were treated compared to the Ulster Volunteers it is clear the latter were favoured. The latter committed treason by making it clear they would refuse a Vote of the British Parliament legally gotten. The Establishment, including the Tories unfortunately, were openly stating as much. The King himself refused to agree to Home Rule because the Liberals openly stated it would cause Civil War (Which it may have.).
@johnnotrealname8168 Right... but that's hardly all that insightful, no? That a government, any government, should be more lenient towards a group that very zealously would maintain the status quo over one which seeks to break that status quo?
@@LookBackHistory No, the Liberal government was backed up only with their votes. That is politically stupid. The Tories wanted the status-quo and the King did not want a Civil War. In either way it was treasonous. The military threatened to mutiny as well (Although it was odd that the Liberal government gave them an option.). Any sane Government would realise they are arming to resist the law and threaten the State's authority (Which is why the Irish state is firm on these matters. To do with the Irish Republican Army as well of course.).
What about the Genocide of the 1840s that Britain deliberately inflicted on Ireland? This might give you a bit more context to British colonial tyranny in Ireland.
In my view the United-Kingdom of Great-Britain and Ireland did not lose the Irish War of Independence (1919-1921). Ireland did win something of course which should not be forgotten.

@johnnotrealname8168Not when half of your population is depleted from eight million to four million people. To this day, Ireland has not recovered their entire population from the pre-famine.

That’s not to say that Ireland hasn’t recovered. They definitely are on their way in that direction.

*the British, much of the protestant population in Ireland are of Scottish (particularly Lowlander) descent rather than English. The plantation in Ulster in what is now Northern Ireland for example was almost completely from people from the lowlands of Scotland.
Why do British content makers like this not accept that Ireland was stolen by Britain and Ireland fought for hundreds of years for its freedom? Ireland was never voluntarily part of the UK. Its citizens were never equal as shown by penal laws and the Famine. Ireland was Britain’s first colony and its people were oppressed and abused by Britain and faced a long struggle for independence and freedom. Britain still occupies part of the island but its days look numbered and wish British people understood more about Britain’s history and meddling in Ireland but they’re not thought the truth in British schools.

Cause the Irish had my great-grandfather (grandmother's side) and the English only had my great-grand uncle (grandfather's side), enough said.
*the British, much of the protestant population in Ireland are of Scottish (particularly Lowlander) descent rather than English.
The plantation in Ulster in what is now Northern Ireland for example was almost completely from people from the lowlands of Scotland.
"Lose " Ireland. 😂😂😂😂 The traditional Brit hubris here is hilarious.
Biji biji Irlandistan!

My God, so many mistakes. I hope that they are made out of ignorance and not malice. Even the title is incredibly ignorant.
this AI speech is grating as fuck
No northern Ireland 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Why do British content makers like this not accept that Ireland was stolen by Britain and Ireland fought for hundreds of years for its freedom?
Ireland was never voluntarily part of the UK. Its citizens were never equal as shown by penal laws and the Famine.
Ireland was Britain’s first colony and its people were oppressed and abused by Britain and faced a long struggle for independence and freedom.
Britain still occupies part of the island but its days look numbered and wish British people understood more about Britain’s history and meddling in Ireland but they’re not thought the truth in British schools.

Remember that day
The fifth of May
That blessed those who hungered for justice.
RIP Bobby Sands.

Foolish
Ireland is part of the UK, so, ......this vid seems odd. Who lost? From a total outsider view it seems like UK didn't lose.
That's ok, dearie. You keep taking your meds and everything will be just fine, sweetie. 👍
@washerdryer3466 ok, dearie, ....leave the UK.

Ireland clearly remains English territory. You can tell by the language they speak.
nope, Ireland is for the Irish
is that the same for the usa?
But English as a language is just French
What's your point.
@@Ejej-zi4vo he is saying that ireland belongs to England as it remains english territory just because they practically eradicated the Irish language and made everyone speak English.
@@KINGslayer15671
But English as a language isn't from the English
English as a language is old french used by the conquered population under norman territory
If we follow his logic the England is still french territory since the saxon population no longer speak their language.
Long Live the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland 🇬🇧🇬🇧
That's been gone for 100 years get over it lol
Long live something that doesn't exist anymore? I hope to God that you're a bot and not a human suffering from brainrot! 🤣
Think you need to watch the video again as what you’re praising is gone over 100 years and not coming back.
The British archipelago.
@pieterjan29 the archipelago is called the British Isles.
@davidfradgley751
Is the same but your term is the one they used most.
@@davidfradgley751not in Ireland. Term is never used to include Ireland. Irish government never used or recognised the term and British government stooped using it 1998 signing of Belfast Agreement so you should stop using it too.
@@murpho999 Think we’ll keep using it, thanks
🥷 be named James and its just one 🥷
English nonsense.
The word British come from the word Briton and they our the Welsh people so really it’s the Welsh people your referring to when you say British not us our nationality is Ænglish so learn your facts because the vast majority of native white Ænglish people don’t see or call themselves British we call ourselves Ænglish because that what we our plain and simple and like the Welsh said if you want to meet a true Brit go to wales and I’m not going to argue with that because I no my history culture and origin and where my people came from sick of people trying tag me as British it’s bloody Ænglish and that it I have no love for the poxy union and I really don’t see the Celtic puffs as allies 😂🤣
Odds are "your people" have at least a bit of ancestry from the rest of isle. You may be Welsh, though you are as well British by law, soil, and blood.
bro did not cook
The name "Britain" came from the "Pritani" Celtic tribe, the first tribe the Romans met when they landed.
