He had been named by party member William O'Shea as the cause for his divorce with his wife Katherine. When the Liberal Party leader William Ewart Gladstone stated that he couldn't work with the party under the circumstances the majority of the party called for his resignation early in 1891. He died that year from pneumonia after fighting three tough by-elections, all of which he lost. This further split the party, with the Parnellite wing, led b ...

Irish nationalism - Roots.
Ireland has been subject to varying degrees of rule from England since the late 12th century. (See Norman Ireland). The Gaelic Irish resisted this conquest through military and other means, but were organised in small independent lordships and did not have a common political goal such as an independent Irish state. Conflict over the English presence was exacerbated by the Protestant Reformation in England, which introduced a religious element to the Tudor re-conquest of Ireland. Another central feature of future Anglo-Irish conflict was the continuing dispossession of Irish Catho ...

Irish Republicanism - The Irish Free State.
Though many across the country were unhappy with the Anglo-Irish Treaty (since, during the Anglo-Irish war, the IRA had fought for independence for all Ireland and for a republic, not a partitioned dominion under the British crown), most republicans were satisfied that the Treaty was the best that could be achieved at the time. However, a substantial minority opposed it. Dáil Éireann, the revolutionary Irish parliament, voted by 64 votes to 57 to ratify it, the majori ...

| | | | | Ulster Volunteer Force: Encyclopedia II - Paramilitary - Paramilitary Police In military terms, paramilitary security forces are typically light infantry. Effectively led, they can stand in defense, especially in urban or unfenced border areas, but are less capable of offensive action or sustained combat operations due to a lack of heavy weapons, professional military training, and effective logistics support.
Examples of this kind of paramilitary force include the People's Armed Police in the People's Republic of China which was split off from the People's Liberation Army in 1983 precisely to remove paramilit ...

Part of the deal for the union was that Catholic Emancipation wo ...

Ulster - Early history.
Ulster is one of the four Irish provinces. Its name derives from the Irish language Cúige Uladh (pronounced "KOO-gi OO-lah"), meaning "Province (literally 'fifth') of the Ulaid," named for the ancient inhabitants of the region.[1] The Irish Uladh with the addition of the Old Norse ster, meaning "province," yields "Uladh Ster" or, in English, "Ulster."
The province's early history extends further back than written records and is known only by legends such as the ...

| | | | | Ulster Volunteer Force: Encyclopedia II - Sinn Féin - History Some historians dispute whether there is in fact a single, continuous Sinn Féin. Some merely see a collection of parties descended from each other, as its various leaderships in the 1920s, 1930s, 1960s, 1980s and 1990s split, with other moving to form rival parties, most with new names, some keeping the words Sinn Féin in their title. The Sinn Féin of Arthur Griffith certainly has very little in common with the party currently in existence. Griffith had sought to re-establish the dual monarchy, which he contended was still l ...
