Whiskey or whisky, it all goes the same way. Cheers and down the hatch!

I'd say eaglecap is pleased with the direction of this topic..!

How did the Irish come to dominate the world? Have a boilermaker, a Guinness chased by a whisky and find out!

The question was about the 1916 rising. And there was I thinking WW1 ended on 11th November 1918.....


No question was asked about the 1916 rising, the topic is much wider in scope - you're the first to try to confine it to that. A poster made a statement that the 1916 rising was unnecessary as he felt that they would have been granted Home Rule after the war; a notion belied by the fact that after WW1, Ireland was engulfed in a guerrilla war to defend sovereignty proclaimed in the absence of Home Rule being implemented.

I mentioned the Rising, edgewaters to divert attention away from the bruising match or ' stoush', a word i've just learned LOL, that was going on in earlier posts.
 
Is Collins considered favourably or negatively by British amateur historians nowadays?
