Ireland · Politics / Sinn Fein. Chronological records rendered directly from the World History Database.
Griffith declares that the Act of Union of Great Britain and Ireland in 1800 is illegal and that, consequently, the Anglo-Irish dual monarchy which existed under Grattans Parliament and the so-called Constitution of 1782 is still in effect
Sinn Fein is wrongly blamed by the British for the Easter Rising, with which it had no association, apart from a desire of separation stronger than Home Rule - the leaders of the Rising were certainly looking for more than Dual Monarchy
