📜 On this day - 24th April 1916 🇮🇪

The Easter Rising began in Dublin, marking a decisive moment in modern Irish history.

Irish Volunteers and members of the Irish Citizen Army took key positions across the city, including the General Post Office. From its steps, Patrick Pearse read the Proclamation of the Irish Republic, declaring Ireland an independent republic.

The Rising lasted six days before being suppressed. Its immediate impact was limited, but the executions that followed, including Pearse and James Connolly, shifted public opinion.

In time, it became a defining event on the path to Irish independence.

On this day, April 18, 1949, Ireland took its final step to full independence and became a republic 🇮🇪 After centuries of struggle, sacrifice and determination, from 1916 through the War of Independence and beyond, the last remaining ties to Britain were finally cut. It was more than a political change, it was a clear statement to the world that Ireland would stand fully on its own, sovereign and self-governing.
