Seeing streets named after Cromwell on these lands disturbs me so much. May we one day see a united Ireland after all the struggle and suffering. It's interesting as well that Irish republicanism was founded by Protestants like Wolfe Tone who had strong moral foundations. Wonderful introduction video to the history of Ireland, I'd be really interested in seeing a more detailed one too!

Really great insight into Ireland’s history! Few things I’d add or alter but main thing is that during the famine Irish farmers had smaller plots of land and so the most beneficial way to use the land was the potato so when the potato became diseased the other crops being grown in Ireland, barley etc, were exported by the English whilst the Irish population starved to death and resulted in Ireland’s population halving.

This channel is next level underrated, using this for my own content and school stuff is incredibly useful. Keep up the good work!

One reason there was no food in Ireland during the potato blight was that the British EXPORTED the food that was in Ireland at the time. Many countries experienced the very same potato blight but only Ireland experienced mass deaths. This is something the British themselves acknowledge.

The Irish had a written language called Ogham Before they change to the Latin alphabet. Ogham (/ˈɒɡəm/ OG-əm,[4] Modern Irish: [ˈoː(ə)mˠ]; Middle Irish: ogum, ogom, later ogam [ˈɔɣəmˠ][5][6]) is an Early Medieval alphabet used primarily to write the early Irish language (in the "orthodox" inscriptions, 4th to 6th centuries CE), and later the Old Irish language (scholastic ogham, 6th to 9th centuries).

The north east did not choose to "stay" in the UK. The Republic could not liberate it and the Treaty signed for independence was only for the 26 counties in the south as there would be more war which Ireland at that point would not win if they decided to fight for the entire Nation of 32 counties.

Good Video!

Fantastic video, as always! That intro, I think, is still an issue. It's nice and fun (for your fans like me!), but probably too long and too amateur-looking for new viewers. I anticipate a lot of potential viewers click away before seeing the top-tier work making up the bulk of the show. I clicked away the first time for this very reason. Fortunately, I still really wanted to know about Ethiopia ;)

After the Norman/Anglo Invasion of Ireland in the 1100s, we then had Planters arrive as per The Plantations in 16th- and 17th-century which involved the confiscation of Irish-owned land by the English Crown and the colonisation of land with settlers from Britain. We fought back: 1. The two Desmond Rebellions took place in 1569-1573 and 1579-1583 to *fight against the threat of the extension of the English government* over the province. 2. The successful Battle of Clontibret was *fought against the British* in County Monaghan in 1595. 3. The successful Battle of the Yellow Ford was *fought against the British* in County Armagh in 1598. 4. The Nine Years' War, sometimes called Tyrone's Rebellion took place in Ireland from 1593 to 1603. It was fought between an Irish alliance to *fight against English rule in Ireland.* 5. The Rebellion of 1641 took place when Irish Catholics were being threatened by expansion of the anti-Catholic English Parliament and Scottish Planters and they *rebelled against English and Protestant domination.* 6. The Irish Rebellion of 1798 was a major uprising *against British rule in Ireland.* (The Society of United Irishmen was led primarily by liberal Protestants). The Irish wanted an end to anti-Catholic discrimination, greater Irish self-governance, and to roll back the Plantations of Ireland. 7. The Irish rebellion of 1803 was launched by Irish republicans *against British rule in Ireland* 8. The Young Irelander Rebellion was an Irish nationalist uprising led by the Young Ireland movement, part of the wider Revolutions of 1848. 9. The Fenian Rising of 1867 was a rebellion *against British rule in Ireland*, organised by the Irish Republican Brotherhood. 10. The Easter Rising of 1916 was piloted by Irish republicans *against British rule in Ireland* with the aim of establishing an independent Irish Republic. 11. The civil rights movement in the early 1960s challenged the inequality and discrimination against ethnic Irish Catholics that was perpetrated by the Ulster Protestant community. 12. Derry activists' marched on the 5 October 1968 in Derry, but were attacked by the RUC and loyalists. THAT IS A SNAPSHOT OF HOW WE HAVE FOUGHT AND RESISTED BOTH BRITISH RULE AND DISCRIMINATION BY THE UNIONIST COMMUNITY.

wait you forgot the troubles

You forgot about the Troubles in Northern Ireland, mate. But overall very accurate

I am from Clonmel and The siege of Clonmel took place between 27 April and 18 May 1650, during the Cromwellian conquest of Ireland when the town of Clonmel in County Tipperary was besieged by Oliver Cromwell's New Model Army. Cromwell's 8,000 men eventually took the town from its 2,000 Irish defenders, but not before they suffered losses of around 2,000 soldiers. Most were killed after being caught in a trap by Hugh Dubh ("Black Hugh") O'Neill on 17 May 1650.

@justinneill5003

Yes I like to think of Hugh Dubh as a distant ancestor (who knows?!) All I know is that my more recent paternal ancestors arrived in Liverpool from Ireland, driven by necessity, possibly around the time of the Great Famine. Hugh was a fascinating character, and his clever tactic at Clonmel was no accident; he was a professional soldier, a veteran of the Eighty Years War fighting for the Spanish Army in Flanders. Born in Brussels, he was part of the O'Neill dynasty which had left Ireland for the continent during the Flight of the Earls, and returned with 300 officers under the command of his uncle, Owen Roe O'Neill, to support the Irish Rebellion.

Brilliant irish followed by the brutal accent 👌 all good stuff

Surprisingly accurate! You glossed over a lot, but overall It’s not so bad

Thats how the legend was born

Can you make a video about the Massons ?

Saint Patrick never existed. He was created by a Bishop named Aed of Sletty many hundreds of years after his non existence.

The normans didn't about Fitz from ireland they brought it with them,the Irish equivalents were o and mac and many norman families adopted those aswell and for example Fitzpatricks were a native family who adopted Fitz

Few facts the Anglo-Normans as the video rightfully points out never conquered the whole island, infact they only conquered a small areas notably the pale. But with the breaking of the treaty of Windsor even the pale was rightfully Irish land, and King henry and his successors were never lord of ireland because they broke the treaty.
