- Ireland_and_World_War_I abstract "During World War I (or the Great War) (1914–1918), Ireland was part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, which entered the war in August 1914 as one of the Entente Powers, along with France and the Russian Empire, when due to the effects of chain ganging, it was obliged to declare war on the Central Powers, consisting of the German Empire, the Austrian-Hungarian Empire, the Ottoman Empire, and the Kingdom of Bulgaria.Occurring in the midsts of Ireland's Revolutionary period, the Irish experience of the war was complex and its memory divisive. At the outbreak of the war, most Irish people, regardless of political affiliation, supported the war in much the same way as their British counterparts, and both nationalist and unionist leaders initially backed the British war effort. Their followers, both Catholic and Protestant, served extensively in the British forces, many in three specially raised divisions with others in the Imperial and United States armies, John T. Prout being an example of an Irishman serving in the latter. Over 200,000 Irishmen fought in the war, in several theatres and either 30,000, or, if one includes those who died serving in armies other than Britain's, 49,400 died. A group of combatant Irish republicans took the opportunity of the war to Proclaim Ireland a Republic and to defend it in an armed rebellion against British rule, in Dublin 1916, a rebellion which Germany attempted to help. In addition, Britain's intention to impose conscription in Ireland in 1918 provoked widespread resistance and as a result remained unimplemented.Finally, with the end of the Great War, Sinn Féin won the Irish general election of 1918, this was followed by the Irish Declaration of Independence and immediately following that, the Irish War of Independence (1919–1922) which ended with terms that led to the Irish Civil War (1922–1923) with Ireland partitioned and much of it leaving the United Kingdom as the Irish Free State.The remarks attributed to National Volunteer and poet, Francis Ledwidge, who was to die in preparation of the Third battle of Ypres in 1917, perhaps best exemplifies the changing Irish nationalist sentiment towards, enlisting, the War, and to the Germans and British."I joined the British Army because she stood between Ireland and an enemy of civilisation and I would not have her say that she defended us while we did nothing but pass resolutions".After the leaders of the 1916 Easter Rising were executed during his military leave, he said:"If someone were to tell me now that the Germans were coming in over our back wall, I wouldn’t lift a finger to stop them. They could come!"".
