A couple authorities consider Belcoo the last time the pre-Truce IRA and Irish Army worked together as if they were one force. 🇮🇪

Pretty hard being half English half Irish but mum never stopped playing rebel songs and my dads family were originally from Ireland after the famine so I guess it is why I never felt I belonged in England.

    Given what I know now, it's ironic that France was facing a famine in the late 18th century when all they needed to do was start growing and eating potatoes, which they refused to do because they stubbornly believed that they were poisonous, even though the rest of Europe had learned that this wasn't true. Ireland's potato famine is infamous now, but the irony that France could've saved themselves a revolution by growing a very simple crop is not lost on me.

    An interesting film that tries to educate people about the power struggle at the root of modern Ireland. As a Welsh man it's crushing to see one of our closest neighbours, fellow Celts that have been through much of what the Irish have suffered, describing my country as England, with a huge great St. George's cross over it. For some reason i always expect the Irish to be more empathetic after what they've been through but time and time again i'm left wondering if they even know we exist. Another great example is the ferry ports in Ireland that receive ships from Wales; a welcome in many languages, just none in Welsh.

  • @JohnDRuddyMannyMan

    @JohnDRuddyMannyMan

    8 жыл бұрын

    I did think about this one and the inclusion of Wales under George's cross was due to the annexation of Wales under the Laws in Wales Act 1535-1542, much like Ireland and scotland come under the Union Flag in my 1801 map. It was in no ways a slight and in some ways it's a comment on how England had already been incorporating other nations into its own kingdom in the past. I know none of this is explained but unfortunately the video is about an irish rebellion in 1916. I am well aware of our shared Celtic heritage, even taking pride in that and I look forward to doing a video on the history of Wales at some point! As for the welcome in Welsh on the signs, I think that is a great idea!! It's important to welcome our Celtic neighbours! CROESO! Thanks for watching and commenting!

    Maybe Wales should become an independent country. 🐉 If they did they could join the euro currency like us to make trading and transport over the Irish Sea easier. And that way we wouldn't be the only English speaking country in Europe to use the euro. But as for trading over the border with England, that's their problem...

    Mr Ruddy, this was a magnificent video. Your video on the War of Independence is also excellent. I was less impressed with your video on the Civil War it showed some of your personal biases, but it was still a fine piece of work. When we spoke a few years ago at the Dublin Worldcon I expressed a desire for a video on how the ideals of the Rising, the dreams of Socialists and Women were sold out by DeValera with the Catholicisation of the Constitution. You could also cover neutrality in WWII, accession to the UN eventually, the border campaign and up to the Troubles at least (but including the repeal of the 8th perhaps?), you opined that you had something like that in mind. I hope you have not changed your mind because what you would have with it is a magnificent popular history of modern Ireland.

    Sadly that is the case, I am English and when I mention it to people (which I do all the time as its my specialist subject) they are frankly clueless. It's the same if you ask an English person who was the first women elected to the House of Commons, they either have not got a clue or guess at Lady Astor, which of course is not true. But there again I find a lot of Irish people are also clueless around the detail of the Rising which is also sad.

I guess if enough pain (WWII and the Philippine Insurrection, for example) is involved in losing a part of one's Empire, what happens in the process of such a loss isn't as often taught or remembered.
