* 1916 – Easter Rebellion: The United Kingdom declares martial law in Ireland.

Irish Republicans, who sought full independence for Ireland rather than just Home Rule, staged the 1916 Easter Rising in Dublin against British rule.

General Post Office ( Dublin ) | The GPO on O ' Connell Street was at the centre of the 1916 Easter Rising.

The Easter Rising of 1916, the Irish War of Independence, and the subsequent Irish Civil War resulted in a significant amount of physical destruction in central Dublin.

The Easter Rising () was an insurrection staged in Ireland during Easter Week, 1916.

Organised by the Military Council of the Irish Republican Brotherhood, the Rising lasted from Easter Monday 24 to 30 April 1916.

The aftermath of the Rising, and in particular the British reaction to it, helped to sway a large section of Irish nationalist opinion away from hostility or ambivalence and towards support for the rebels of Easter 1916.

A few months after the Easter Rising, W. B. Yeats commemorated some of the fallen figures of the Irish Republican movement, as well as expressed his torn emotions regarding these events, in the poem Easter, 1916.
