British authorities wrongly blamed Sinn Fein for the Easter Rising, although the organization had no involvement.
Sinn Fein wanted separation beyond Home Rule, while the Rising's leaders sought more than a dual monarchy.
The term Sinn Fein Rebellion is used by the Irish media, the Royal Irish Constabulary (RIC), the Dublin Metropolitan Police (DMP) and even by a few of those involved in the Easter Rising.
