Revolutionary Ireland 1916-1923 (Remastered Supercut) - Manny Man Does History 

I love when John voices Dev. The thick Bruree, Limerick accent of the real man comes through very reverently. It's a great impersonation.

Englishman here, loving your videos ( some hard truths going on! ), so much information delivered so well, hope the audience numbers grow exponentially for this channel

I think it's fair to say that WW1 (at least initially) delayed Civil War from breaking out in Ireland.

hey! always go outta my way to support irish creators & i love what youre doing. when abroad it is a bit of a rude awakening being confronted with foreigners who simultaneously know nothing about ireland but *think* they do, so thank you for educating ppl who didnt have to suffer thru a leaving cert of it! 😂

a level history exam in two days u are a lifesaver

The story of Ireland was a great documentary, thanks for the suggestion! I look forward to your eventual video on the troubles! Keep up the great work and cheers from Colorado

The 2020’s are gonna be a very interesting time for the island of Ireland

Fine remaster of the old episodes. better than GTA TRILOGY REMASTERED, that's for sure P.S.: i always chuckle when I hear Eamon De Valera talks.

I think what makes Irish independence (although not 100% fully) shocking is the proximity to the UK mainland. Where rebellions in Africa have the benefit of being far away.

Harry Boland, right hand man of De Valera Also Harry Boland: *Holds revolver with left hand*

The Conquest of Ireland arguably wasn’t fully completed until the Act of Union in 1800 when the Kingdom of Ireland (after centuries of constitutional and regime changes) was forcibly merged into the British state (though our civil service and courts remained separate, and we retained our legislative representatives). Those representatives forced to sit in London instead of Dublin, but went back to Ireland in 1919 and declared independence in a reconstituted Irish Parliament (copying the Hungarian walkout of the Austrian parliament in the 1860s). European history is very complicated as you can imagine !

I think it is a bit misleading saying de valera "didnt get his way" going the negotiations and not Including that he met with lyod George already It comes across like he wanted to go to England rather than just deciding not to

Dammit John, if only you had released this a year ago when I was doing a research project on this exact topic and used you as one of my sources

Wished you would have talked more about other Soviets in Ireland other than just the Limerick Soviet. Like there was the Knoklong Soviet that also formed in 1919 in favor for Irish independence. But also there was other Soviets that were formed in 1920-22 that even fought for the Anti-Treaty IRA in the Irish Civil War, or what I would call the Counter-Revolutionary period of the Irish Revolution. There was the Bruere Soviet, the Waterford Soviet, the Cork Harbor Soviet, Castle Connell Soviet, the Tipperary Soviet, and many more. Hell there was even a dual power schism that occurred in Dublin between the Irish Republic and the Dublin Soviet. Regardless great video and very well made.

This is a great video! I didn’t know much about revolutionary ireland before this video, again good job!

Mate you’re helping me get through my A-Levels.

Your videos are pure class mate.

Ireland is a very very fascinating country that has for over 2 millennia, strove to become one and free. I really find this very powerful, good representation and blackly funny telling of Revolutionary Ireland in the early 20th century. It's such a beautiful country that deserves so much more!

Fantastic video lad

Enniscorthy also took positions during the Easter rising. @John correct me if I am wrong but I think the might have held for an extra day or 2 after our lads in Dublin surrender. I live in enniscorthy. Go to the 1798 centre in enniscorthy (vinegar hill). It's great. Only €6. 20,000 people died in county Wexford with 4 weeks during the 1798 rebellion. Keep up the great work @Ruddy

I love your channel keep up the great stuff

YOU ARE CLUTCHING FOR MY EXAMS🙏

Very good video, this will help me make my movie script more historically accurate.

16:12 Excellent Father Ted reference!

17:21 Well thats DARK

Fun fact HMS Helga was bought by the irish when it became a republic renamed L.E. Murachu

My great great grandfather was from Ireland and he was actually forced to leave and go to Scotland because of the Easter revolt he never returned

17:17 what a creative name WOW

I remember you coming to my class(I was the one that said people would be shocked at how many books I had)

One of my relatives was one of the first few of the 77 executed from January '23. The changed the location on his death certificate, dont know if he was killed in Keogh Barracks , Killmainham or out in a field. He was a National Army soldier who returned to the Anti-Treaty IRA. He was executed for "treachery". Really sad time in Irish history. His name was Sylvester Heaney is anyone is interested. He was only 19.

Saw the wee history of the Gaol movie in Crumlin Road Gaol this afternoon. It was brilliant! Is there a copy on here?

Even though I’ve saw the videos that made up this supercut, it’s still nice to see

I wonder how big August 22nd will be this year because it'll be the 100th anniversary of Michael Collins' death

are you goanna do a video on The Troubles?

3:02 The assassination triggered a ligne of events which let to WW1.

here in northern ireland we study irish history for a levels so thank you

It either was my Great Grandparents or Great-Great Grandparents that immigrated to america during Easter rising in 1916 or any point from 1916 to 1923 during the whole rebellion there

To settle the case that people want Northern Ireland to join Ireland Proper, Ulster had been mainly Protestant, it would be a major problem and could cause another Civil War if both Irelands joined together

16:12 good, we don't want to starve again, we already had one famine.

Your videos are good

I’m fascinated with this period. I’d love to visit Dublin and learn more about some of these sites. And have a few pints of fresh Guinness too. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 ❤️ 🇮🇪

Excellent video. Use them to teach my students.

I relish these videos, as American public education focuses on the Troubles and the Good Friday accord. Very little mention of how's and why's of such domestic terrorism.

The sad thing is the world war 1 uprising would have worked if 1 the German ship docked 2 the leader gave the go ahead 3 the ports railway stations castle were taken and 4 the uprising toke place all over island the military couldn't take all of Ireland only doing it in one city doomed it from the start

Is there a video about Colombia and the Civil War.

Perhaps it's time for another try

I want to meet you because your the only true Irish person that I watch and I’m from Ireland

What do you think about Ireland's neutrality in World War II? Some of my relatives have always felt kind of embarrassed by it. I find it to be kind of an overlooked subject.

40:52 wait? Is that parties flag just a field of purple?

How long does it take you to make these characters and art for a video like this?

How about rms titanic story

No Easter Egg Hunts? That's just cruel, shame on you Eoin!

It would be really interesting to see what the revolutionary years 1916-1922 were like in Ulster for both unionists and republicans. It'd be interesting to see if there could of been any chance of convincing the unionists to accept a republic or if everyone (both British and the Irish) thought that partition was only temporary then what did the unionists think? Did they believe Northern Ireland and partition for that matter was only temporary or did they truly believe that no matter what happend they would forever remain in the UK?

Brilliant exposition of modern Irish history. My Mother was born in Kells, Co. Meath in 1909 of an English Father. She remembered IRA men being hidden in the loft during the civil war. Wind Shakes the Barley; makes me too upset to watch. I had thought of returning to my roots in 2015, until I heard the "angelus" on RTE. Include me out of religion. "Dev" was a Knickerbocker (born in New York) as I recall, of Iberian extraction on his Father's side. Homo sapiens sapiens my favourite joke in Science.

"British Secretary of State for War Winston Churchil" He later became the only British man who saved the British Empire in WW2

I wonder what would have happened if michael collins didn't die

I sure hope it works out for you lads, peacefully. Love, America

I wish you would have done a Tom cruise cameo

As a man of both mexican and Irish descent, hearing the full history of the Irish War of Independance it is so parallel to the chaos of the Mexican war of Independance. First kicking out the spanish, then the french and finally the very real "game of thrones" style war and political upheaval.

Excellent account of this period. Disappointed tho that you didnt include The Battles of Belleek & Pettigo (Fermanagh & Donegal) in June & July of 1922, right on the North/South border. 6 killed, 3 Irish: 3 British. Collins was the elected MP for Armagh at that time.

It’s sad that nobody seems to mention the marriage in the chapel of the jail 15 minutes before Patrick was shot

It’s Padraig Pearse not Patrick

Democracy must be created with the shedding of blood

Dia duit ó baile atha Cliath

"Isaac Butt" yep, that's his last name

Damn, Ireland is a very funny place, sir

Having been looking into Irish revolutionary history, the historical trajectory looked like that Ireland would remain part of the UK but with Home Rule, comparable to Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales today. But minor events meant that this was prevented and the trajectory became Irish independence. - 19th Century Irish Nationalism primarily focused on home rule (autonomy within the UK) rather than independence. - Home Rule Crisis and WW1 prevented the implementeation of the first Home Rule bill/act. - Despite the Easter Rising not gaining wide support as well as the most Irish being content with the status quo and hoping for home rule, the British shot themselves in the foot through the swift executions of the Rising perpretrators and the mass arrests which changed public opinion in favour of independence. - Britain attempting to apply conscription to Ireland and causing a backlash. - The IRA on the brink of collapse and defeat just as Britain called a truce. - British PM Lloyd George threatening "terrible war" if the Anglo-Irish Treaty was rejected, likely a reconquest of Ireland and more direct rule. The Irish negotiators could have easily rejected the Treaty (as many anti-Treatyites wanted, but signing it prevented the alternative terrible outcome. Before anyone loses their horses, this is not advocating Ireland should have remained part of the UK, rather its pointing out that if minor changes to history took place, things could have been very different for Ireland.

Can you read you new book please?

Are you from Ireland🇨🇮John?

Something you never mentioned is that the Irish did also kill civilians during the Easter Uprising, and one of the people that the Irish saw as the definition of English oppression was actually an Irish Nationalist that simply disliked the uprising, but wanted a a Free Ireland

I wish ubisoft could see how great of an AC game this could be, so much big historical figures, guerilla warfare, betrayals, so much potential.

“ Come out Ye Black and Tans, Come out and fight me like a man, Show your wife how you won medals down in Flanders…”

Omg I know you what???? You used to teach at the school I went to. (I just found that out lop)

Next Video will be called History of Ireland REBOOT REMASTERED REMAKE

15:27 All I can think of is half life.

Oh hey April 21 is my birthday 5:04

"Named after the soviets after taking control of-" Most of "Russia only 2 years before"

As a Brit, I think so long as the people of Northern Ireland want to stay British, they should have the right to do so. Of course this opinion may change if the Northern Irelanders began pushing more for a united Ireland. However, so long as the status quo is thriving, I don't see any need to force Ulster into a union it might not even want

One thing I find interesting about the Irish Civil War is that even though the pro-Treaty side won the democratic elections and the will of the Irish people was that of peace, whenever I see Irish people from today commenting on it, they are almost always condemning the pro-Treaty camp. Why?

Free the 6 up Tyrone

he is so irish

independent alba

In the part of Northern Ireland we still haven't forgiven been stabbed in the back in 1916. The pride of Ulster were going over the top in the Somme at the time.

Coming back to mcdonalds any time soon again?

Dear Manny Man! Tell me please as an Irishman an answer to the foreighner guy who's interested in politics, society changes and wannabe-history buff: if the British didn't, you know, fucked up *that many* times would your then country remained part of U.K.? There are examples when British fucked up might be... errr... explained through the lense of fucked up circumstances. That Cromwell/Ireton's business in Ireland with massacres and starvation might be explained that Cromwell was an arsehole not only to Irish but to, well, *everyone* (after all he's the living Grinch himself). Besides there is such thing as "moral highground" and that thing is shifty to say the least. Please do not be offended on what be written next: To me as foreighner your country's independence seems accidental. The British were just too tired of blood and fighting from WW1 plus a really untimeful moment they've decided to speak on verge of victory. And the Irish civil war seems to me frankly as tragic and stupid as so called "Paris Commune" after Franco-Prussian war. Even with all these explanations you've gave my mind still boggling: "WHY THE FUCK!?" and "ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS?" are primary questions without clear enough answers to suffice. Thank you!

Come out ye black and tans Come out and fight me like a man Show your wives how you won medals down in Flanders tell 'em how the IRA made you run like hell away from the green and lovely lanes of Killeshandra

Still a colony.

1798 rebellion

When you upload an updated version of the video about US presidents, maybe you could mention how some news stories say that it’s likely that the USA’s death toll from COVID, might be millions higher than was estimated.

Full Proclamation of Irish Independence IRISHMEN AND IRISHWOMEN : In the name of God and of the dead generations from which she receives her old tradition of nationhood, Ireland, through us, summons her children to her flag and strikes for her freedom. Having organised and trained her manhood through her secret revolutionary organisation, the Irish Republican Brotherhood, and through her open military organisations, the Irish Volunteers and the Irish Citizen Army, having patiently perfected her discipline, having resolutely waited for the right moment to reveal itself, she now seizes that moment, and supported by her exiled children in America and by gallant allies in Europe, but relying in the first on her own strength, she strikes in full confidence of victory. We declare the right of the people of Ireland to the ownership of Ireland and to the unfettered control of Irish destinies, to be sovereign and indefeasible. The long usurpation of that right by a foreign people and government has not extinguished the right, nor can it ever be extinguished except by the destruction of the Irish people. In every generation the Irish people have asserted their right to national freedom and sovereignty; six times during the past three hundred years they have asserted it in arms. Standing on that fundamental right and again asserting it in arms in the face of the world, we hereby proclaim the Irish Republic as a Sovereign Independent State, and we pledge our lives and the lives of our comrades in arms to the cause of its freedom, of its welfare, and of its exaltation among the nations. The Irish Republic is entitled to, and hereby claims, the allegiance of every Irishman and Irishwoman. The Republic guarantees religious and civil liberty, equal rights and equal opportunities to all its citizens, and declares its resolve to pursue the happiness and prosperity of the whole nation and of all its parts, cherishing all of the children of the nation equally, and oblivious of the differences carefully fostered by an alien Government, which have divided a minority from the majority in the past. Until our arms have brought the opportune moment for the establishment of a permanent National Government, representative of the whole people of Ireland and elected by the suffrages of all her men and women, the Provisional Government, hereby constituted, will administer the civil and military affairs of the Republic in trust for the people. We place the cause of the Irish Republic under the protection of the Most High God, Whose blessing we invoke upon our arms, and we pray that no one who serves that cause will dishonour it by cowardice, inhumanity, or rapine. In this supreme hour the Irish nation must, by its valour and discipline, and by the readiness of its children to sacrifice themselves for the common good, prove itself worthy of the august destiny to which it is called.

uprising in the middle of WW1 was just poor political optics... or genius

🇮🇪🍀☘️🥇👍💪😁

It’s pronounced sweeney not swiney

Boris : Slava Ukraine Irish : Shut up!

What if Britain didn’t offer the ira a truce in 1921 and the ira did collapse

I NEVER EVER AGREED WUTH MICHEAL COLLENS HAVEING ANYTHING WHATSIVER TO DO WITH THE I R A

For me, the War of Independance and Civil War are just 'messy'. They are important to learn about and reconcile with, no doubt, but I think it's a part of Irish history better left to be looked at and understood, not to be used as a political or secretarian tool. That's how violence erupts, and I think I speak for alot of Irish people when I say that there's been enough blood spilt on the Island. I have respect for the sovereignty of N. Ireland, and I would hope that many of them feel similar towards the Republic, the people I know from there certainly do
