NEW The road to two Irelands: nationalism and revolution, 1800-1916
In 1800 Ireland was a British colony dominated by a small, privileged community of well-educated Anglo-Irish Protestant landowners in a land of several million landless, illiterate, and quiescent Irish Catholics. One hundred years later, a nationalist, revolutionary Irish Catholic community emerged, launching a rebellion one Easter Monday that would profoundly alter Irish history. This four-part course explores the rise of revolutionary nationalism in Ireland.
