The ENTIRE History of the Irish Civil War Explained

Ireland had barely won its independence from Britain when a new war tore the country apart. In 1922, former comrades in the Irish Republican Army turned against one another in a bitter civil war over the future of the Irish state. In this documentary, we explore the entire history of the Irish Civil War, from the Anglo-Irish Treaty and the bitter divisions it created to the Battle of Dublin, the collapse of organized anti-treaty resistance, and the conflict's lasting political legacy. Why did Irish revolutionaries who had fought together against British rule become enemies? What made the Anglo-Irish Treaty so controversial? And how did a civil war lasting less than a year shape Irish politics for generations? Discover the key events that led to the conflict, the military campaigns that decided its outcome, the human cost of the fighting, and the political divisions that continued long after the guns fell silent in 1923. This is the story of a revolution divided against itself, the struggle to define Irish independence, and the civil war that helped shape modern Ireland.
