The number is debated to this day, most British tallies fail to count the number who died due to the fighting AFTER the rising occurred, these deaths were technically at the hands of the Rebels but they passed away after the Rising was quelled. So you could say that either way, give or take nearly 300 soldiers died as a result of the rising.
that is true teqnicly because if the irish wrote the web site well 7 could be 50 and 200 could be 100. as well the bridge wasnt part of the battle of dublin cos mabey it wasnt in dublin.
Tadhg McElligott thankyou man I worked really hard on layout , the bridge is 99% the same size as the real one in meters too same with statue placement and the monument next to post office , I do beleive the road in front of the post office has been filled in by buildings now though aha
MIGHTYmapper 123 if your on google maps and you see construction work taking place in O'Connell Street it's not new buildings. their extending the light rail system called Luas(it means fast in Irish)
Yeah, I'm Irish and I really loved this video. And you did a great job on the map man, thanks for your hard work. It would be deadly to have you upload it to the workshop, but as a multiplayer map., or is it already on there in some form?
My Great Grandfather fought during the rising. Daly, James. Volunteer, C Company, 3rd Battalion, Dublin Brigade, Irish Volunteers. Fought at Boland's Bakery/Boland's Mills under Commandant De Valera, Grand Canal Street, on the Railway Line between Westland Row and Lansdowne Road and at Roberts's Building on Grand Canal Street. He was deported after the surrender first to Wandsworth then Frongoch, he was released about the end of July 1916.
I'm irish and i got to say thank you for making a video about 1916. The only thing your missing is the british ship that went up the Liffey and bombed the living sh#t of O'Connel street.
Alot of Irish volunteers were off fighting in WW1 thanks to Redmond, then the Rising was called off so only a fraction of a fraction turned out. There was only 1 other person killed outside of Dublin if I recall correctly, in Tipp I think? Read that in Dan Breens 'My Fight For Irish Freedom'... or was it 'Seán Tracy & The Tan War'... maybe both.. both books covered alot of the same ground. But yea, people elsewhere didn't know what the craic was bar rumors of fighting in Dublin.
The Wind that Shakes the Barley is probably the greatest movie about this era, even though it takes place following the Easter Rising. The Rebellion miniseries (on Netflix) is really good.
@@Syndie702 the movie Michael Collins is better shows what he has to do and the brutality the bits did but the wind that shakes the barley did a great job showing the rape and murder of my people by the black in tans under Churchills orders yet he's made out to be a hero no better than Stalin or Hitler with a smaller kill count
I'm pretty sure the IRA was actually called the IRB which means Irish Republican Brotherhood, well the Irish Volunteers were prominent at the battle. The British they would have encircled the rebels in the GPO and set up a Arty and bombed the Shit out of them. good video though
From what I've read of this battle/conflict it was rather poorly led on both sides, with brits taking a long time to take the opposition seriously and the Irish leadership assuming that brits would never do what they ended up doing (aka bringing field guns to hammer the entrenchments)
Cáca Milis sa Seomra Spraoi Don't forget Redmond convinced thousands of Irish volunteers to join the British army in WW1, trying to keep the Brits sweet in a hope to win Home Rule so they were down a fair amount of men before the Rising was even planned, then as you say it was canceled. And the war of independence was only partially successful - i'm still living under British rule.
there aren't many films about the 1916 rising in particular. I recommend rebellion, it's a mini series you can probably find online. It's not 100% correct but it's a good visualisation
Another interesting event in Irish history was the angalo Irish war and the resulting Irish civil war of 1922. I'd recommend watching the wind that shakes the barley as It gives an interesting insight into the two events
The thousands of rifles sent by the grmans were outdated. Many were the gewehr 71 which was a single shot black powder rifle. Still several thousand rifles might not have won it but probably would have managed to prolong the fighting
Love how he kept stopping and thinking what to say and which way to put it in xD Good man, love the video :D great to see a bit of Irish history being played out
What an interesting video, il be sure to watch more, And your knowledge of the lacking but better then most youtubers would know on the spot. Good thing I survived the fighting
i rly appreciate the research that clearly went into both this mod and this vid. and on that bridge thing i happen to know a bit. 17 rebels (not yet I.R.A) famously held the line at the bridge on mount street against an entire battalion of british troops who could have easily flanked the rebels as there was a bridge just a street away, despit this General Lowe ordered the bridge be taken at all costs, so he spent the rest of the day throwing unproperly trained soldiers in 20 min intervals at the 17 rebels. the soldiers themselves, the sherwood foresters had not finished their training and had left there artillery and grenades back in england. these troops had only been shown how to load and fire their weapons at the pier that same day. 240 british casualties although only 28 where fatal 4 of which where officers, five of the 17 rebels where killed before their position was overrun by machineguns and explosives. P.S. it may look like ive written alot but im restraining myself ALOT.
I think the bridge you're talking about is is the bridge over the canal at Mount Street on Northumberland Rd. It was the first engagement between the rebels and British troops who were marching in from Kingstown harbor (now known as Dún Laoghaire) They held off the troops for a long while (I think there were more than 5), but were eventually flanked) Before they were the IRA, they were known as the IRB (Irish Republican Brootherhood). The factions that took part in the rising were actually a few different groups. Irish Volunteers, Irish Citizen Army, Cumann na mBan, Fianna Eireann and the Hibernian Rifles.
Too hard to do given there were no major battles like this, it was mainly ambushes and short gun-fights, a few fellas darting around the street, through houses, gardens and alleys shooting then melting away. And the Troubles were 69 to the late 90s. Guerrillas don't take up defensive positions like 1916, they usually just hit and run. It was similar in 1919-21 alot of the time but there were some raids on barracks that lasted hours
Late to the party Diplex just watched ,very well put together few innacuracies but like you said due to sources no harm done. If you are interested in any more Irish reveloutionary films a very good one is "The wind that shakes the barley" mostly focusing on post 1922 events but details quite a bit of Ireland shortly after 1916 .Hope you read and enjoy if you watch. Éire Go Brách !!!
There was no real battles though. There were plenty of skirmishes, ambushes, booby-traps and bombings but nothing like in 1916. Even in the War of Independence in 1919-21 the IRA didn't take up defensive positions like this, it was more guerrilla tactics after '16, hit & run. Ammo and supplies were often precious so doing this kind of thing just wasn't possible. Even when Libya sent tons and tons of weapons to the PIRA they didn't launch large-scale battles. The Brits always had us out-matched so guerrilla warfare was the best option, and that rarely if ever means taking and holding an area. It was more about harassing the Brits than taking them on toe-to-toe militarily.
the irish wasnt the IRA it was the irish volunteers who did become the IRA but wasnt IRA at the time there was also the socialist group the Irish citizens army lead by james connolly and jack white who was a captain in british army before becoming a socialist but wasnt at the uprising all in all great video for a suggestion can you do a battle from the russian civil war since it is 100 years since the bolshevik revolution
UNION JACK THE RIPPER there were 3 groups the Irish volunteers which you said the IRB Irish republican brotherhood and the woman's irb which even though I'm Irish shall not try to type
you mean Cumann na mBan my bad i forgot about them and wasnt the irb part of the irish volunteers i know that the volunteers had IRB members in them so i counted them as part of it
Hey diplex dat bridge is no joke I'm Irish and I'm telling it's no joke , the brits were inexperienced though and were only taught how their guns worked on the way to the bridge and there was about 7 or so men defending it
'The Wind What Shakes The Barley' is a brilliant movie I would very much so recommend it, it's around this era in Ireland as they struggle for independence
How do you fly around and look at the map? im new to mowas2 ans would love to look at map before i do a SP mission. or are you watching your replayback?
You know your stuff about the rising 👍 great video. The best film about this is probably "Micheal Collins" You will find Irish history very interesting
Collins went to prison after 1916 for about a year. That movie covers the War of Independence which is after 1916 and after he was in prison. Plus its nowhere near as good as 'The Treaty'
Doing my usual stuff, watching videos and out of the corner of my eye "Diplex still doing MOWAS2.." seen the title, exceptions can be made... Love how diplex at the end was trying to explain the British Victory and Irish Loss, lol. We're Irish, we don't give a shit who won we are going to fight you anyway. e.e
diplex theres a 5 episode drama on Netflix called "Rebellion" about the Easter rising that is quite good. You should give it a watch. It shows before the rising, during then after.
I know this happened in 1916, but I'd love to see an alternate version set in 1918 where the Irish would have cannons, and some more MGs, and the British would have 3 Mark-V tanks. (even though it wasn't deployed until 1918...) I just find that interesting, not sure if you would too.
I liked the Union Jack at the postoffice. I know i'm picky, but still funny though. Also that with the helmets make perfectly scence, because they first get introduced, in the great war at 1916. So a lot of the troops, din't got them until now. And they where mostley ment to help against shrapnels from detonations, and not against bullets.
Great video I'm pretty sure all the facts and story's were right and there is actually a story about a boy who was either 15 or 16 or somewhere around that age that was handed a shotgun and was told to go fight
Interesting fact: Most rebels wore their suits as they were mainly civilians with guns, not professional soldiers (Although might have been trained) also there was one gun for every two rebels that fought making it hard for the rebels. (Btw the IRA was not established later on, the people that fought were the ICA and IRB)
DiplexHeated 16:55 I'm not sure if there are any good movies about 1916, none that i'm aware of anyway. If you can find 'The Treaty' with Brendan Gleeson it covers the period after 1916 from around 1918/19-21 and its better than 'Michael Collins' with Neeson. 'The Wind That Shakes The Barley' is great but again it sort of covers after '16, in 1921-22. Lots of documentaries and books on 1916 though. Liam Neeson narrates a great documentary on 1916 actually.
As an Irishman living and working on this very street this pleased me most of these buildings are still standing and some shells and still stuck inside the walls of the GPO also the orange men who are British living in the North marched down this street with British flags in the mid 2000s they were soundly beaten back up north were they belong
i know two good movies: michael collins and the wind that shakes the barley, both are awesome and i watched them multiple times, and it would be awesome if you could make Men of war mission about those movies
grate video only thing was the bulk of those fighting was the Irish citizen army they could use a shout out and it was the Irish Republican brotherhood not army but I'm so happy to see the conflict finally being shown great job
Do the battle of New England. Australian defenders with artillery ands tanks and Japanese assault with dive bombers and infantry. It would be so cool to see a strategic pacific island under attack!!!
I know it didn't escalate but I would love to see a red Clyde side battle where instead of it dying down when the British troops arrived with 6 tanks it sparked up.
The bridge where 7 Irish volunteers held against 280 British troops is called the battle of Mount Street Bridge
Joseph German That was the name of it!
DiplexHeated Jadotville bro!! Got 54 thumbs up so far!
Only, I think, 197 British died during the whole Battle of Dublin
The number is debated to this day, most British tallies fail to count the number who died due to the fighting AFTER the rising occurred, these deaths were technically at the hands of the Rebels but they passed away after the Rising was quelled. So you could say that either way, give or take nearly 300 soldiers died as a result of the rising.
that is true teqnicly because if the irish wrote the web site well 7 could be 50 and 200 could be 100. as well the bridge wasnt part of the battle of dublin cos mabey it wasnt in dublin.
If anybody checks this on google maps , I spent a lot of time making it look geographically accurate to the era
MIGHTYmapper 123 I live in Dublin city and mate you did really well :) I was able to name every street haha
Tadhg McElligott thankyou man I worked really hard on layout , the bridge is 99% the same size as the real one in meters too same with statue placement and the monument next to post office , I do beleive the road in front of the post office has been filled in by buildings now though aha
MIGHTYmapper 123 if your on google maps and you see construction work taking place in O'Connell Street it's not new buildings. their extending the light rail system called Luas(it means fast in Irish)
Hey man, is there anyway I can get this map?
Yeah, I'm Irish and I really loved this video. And you did a great job on the map man, thanks for your hard work. It would be deadly to have you upload it to the workshop, but as a multiplayer map., or is it already on there in some form?
Do the Seige of Jadotville!! The UN peace mission with the Irish
I love infantry battles so this would be great to watch!!
the movie made about that was very good
wolfshalifi agreed!!
what is the movie called??
I live in ireland!!!
owzzyboi it's literally called the siege of jadotville
Last time I was this early, Ireland had 32 counties.
Adam wow.........
Adam same
Under British rule? lol
No me lady I am British if that ever happened I’d take Ireland single handedly
@@sirbritishtea8456 ha 5 Irishmen killed 280 brits and you think your xenophobic arse could take on every strong Irishman and woman
My Great Grandfather fought during the rising. Daly, James. Volunteer, C Company, 3rd Battalion, Dublin Brigade, Irish Volunteers.

Your grandfather is a great man
I'm irish and i got to say thank you for making a video about 1916. The only thing your missing is the british ship that went up the Liffey and bombed the living sh#t of O'Connel street.
And also 'Well planned' ?Only about a third of the troops that were supposed to come actually arrived
Lanthas they bombed sackville street, it wasn't O'Connell Street until 1924
Tadgh mcelliot O'connel street sacksvile street either way it's the same street
Yeah thats because it was supposed to be called off but the boys in Dublin and Meath came out in force.
Alot of Irish volunteers were off fighting in WW1 thanks to Redmond, then the Rising was called off so only a fraction of a fraction turned out. There was only 1 other person killed outside of Dublin if I recall correctly, in Tipp I think?

The Wind that Shakes the Barley is probably the greatest movie about this era, even though it takes place following the Easter Rising. The Rebellion miniseries (on Netflix) is really good.
Mikaele Baker have you watched peaky blinders?
Mikaele Baker it's not on Netflix I just checked
They must've taken it down.
Mikaele Baker haven't seen it sounds good Netflix always taking down the good stuff and adding shite🙄
@@Syndie702 the movie Michael Collins is better shows what he has to do and the brutality the bits did but the wind that shakes the barley did a great job showing the rape and murder of my people by the black in tans under Churchills orders yet he's made out to be a hero no better than Stalin or Hitler with a smaller kill count
"The IRA are inflicting a lot of casualties" hearing stuff like this in a video is like ASMR. So calming and relaxing.
The battle of Mount street bridge:
17 irish - 5 killed
4 British officers and 216 ranked soldiers killed
I've been waiting for this video for ever! My great grandfather fought in this war!
How have I missed this amazing video :O you are a legend for recreating this battle
Cool battle I'm Irish and live near where the battle happened
So....... Dublin?
song: Rocky road to Dublin
Diplex they took the G.P.O to prevent swift reinforcements for the brits since the GPO was the quickest way to contact the headquaters in London
I'm pretty sure the IRA was actually called the IRB which means Irish Republican Brotherhood, well the Irish Volunteers were prominent at the battle. The British they would have encircled the rebels in the GPO and set up a Arty and bombed the Shit out of them. good video though
Real-Time Commanders the arty was in the form of a gunboat they sailed up the liffey
very true! apologies forgot to mention sorry about that
Real-Time Commanders the irb and the ica collaborated and there was the ira
Matthew McGarry the IRAn formed after all this later on my friend
Tadhg McElligott also you forgot the arty at Trinity college
the wind that shakes the barly is a really good moive, see this.
I automatically knew that was rocky road to Dublin in the beginning!
From what I've read of this battle/conflict it was rather poorly led on both sides, with brits taking a long time to take the opposition seriously and the Irish leadership assuming that brits would never do what they ended up doing (aka bringing field guns to hammer the entrenchments)

Love that you put music in the beginning to set the scene. Really adds to the story.
Another interesting event in Irish history was the angalo Irish war and the resulting Irish civil war of 1922.
I'd recommend watching the wind that shakes the barley as It gives an interesting insight into the two events
Someone who actually understands the Wind That Shakes The Barley is post 1916 lol. I've just been correcting people over and over in these comments.
omg he did 1916 rising and im irish thats a first
swaggy boy dayum sun same
swaggy boy dayum sun im half irish and half english
Peter Hodgson nice
swaggy boy dayum sun i am 7 eights irish and the rest is german
Liza Murphy i only speak irish but i would love to speak German instead tho.
FOR THE IRISH REPUBLIC!!
May the road rise up to meet you friend.
OMG YES!!! You finally did one for the EASTER RISING! I've wanted someone to do this forever!!! THANK YOU!!!!
That's one hell of a recreation of Dublin, and one very nice video too, good job!
This is the best video quality ive ever seen!
The thousands of rifles sent by the grmans were outdated. Many were the gewehr 71 which was a single shot black powder rifle. Still several thousand rifles might not have won it but probably would have managed to prolong the fighting
I'm from Northern Ireland and I'm happy you did this because it gives me an idea of went on better
Love how he kept stopping and thinking what to say and which way to put it in xD Good man, love the video :D great to see a bit of Irish history being played out
one of the best channels I've subscribed to..your videos are quality.. great to see one in my home town.👍
These new intros put tons of flavor back into this series
i have been asking you for this video for so long
dude thank you I'm not from Dublin I'm from Kildare but I still really enjoyed the video thanks for the 1916 rising battle
the map looks sick man,can't wait to try it my self!
What an interesting video, il be sure to watch more,
And your knowledge of the lacking but better then most youtubers would know on the spot.
Good thing I survived the fighting
U were a legend during the 1916 Easter rising. Ya saved my country!!
the movie Michael Collins is based on the war of independence

Finally bout time yea did an easter rising video, should also take a look at "the troubles" that happened in the 70s
Too hard to do given there were no major battles like this, it was mainly ambushes and short gun-fights, a few fellas darting around the street, through houses, gardens and alleys shooting then melting away. And the Troubles were 69 to the late 90s. Guerrillas don't take up defensive positions like 1916, they usually just hit and run. It was similar in 1919-21 alot of the time but there were some raids on barracks that lasted hours

Id love to see a scenario set during the troubles in Ireland, I'm sure there are some really good mod packs for the British army at that time.
There was no real battles though. There were plenty of skirmishes, ambushes, booby-traps and bombings but nothing like in 1916. Even in the War of Independence in 1919-21 the IRA didn't take up defensive positions like this, it was more guerrilla tactics after '16, hit & run.

Hey diplex dat bridge is no joke I'm Irish and I'm telling it's no joke , the brits were inexperienced though and were only taught how their guns worked on the way to the bridge and there was about 7 or so men defending it
Is that the rocky road to Dublin playing at the start? I like that song ;)
12345
Which key enables me to hide the HUD in order to enjoy a battle better?
'The Wind What Shakes The Barley' is a brilliant movie I would very much so recommend it, it's around this era in Ireland as they struggle for independence
How do you fly around and look at the map? im new to mowas2 ans would love to look at map before i do a SP mission. or are you watching your replayback?
Diplex heated THANK YOU!
Can you do the Shelling of the Four Courts during the Irish civil war?
Micheal Collins and the wind that shakes the barley would be the best movies to watch about the 1916 rising
2 hours and still rendering? Damn TH-cam, get up to speed
You know your stuff about the rising 👍 great video. The best film about this is probably "Micheal Collins" You will find Irish history very interesting
Collins went to prison after 1916 for about a year. That movie covers the War of Independence which is after 1916 and after he was in prison. Plus its nowhere near as good as 'The Treaty'
Diplex The Wind That Shakes The Barley is a decent one which deals with the chaos that befell the independence movement after the Rising.
thx DiplexHeated for doing this video the bridge was called mount street bridge
Thanks for teaching me what collateral means Diplex
Sick video Diplex!
Wow, last time I was this early...
My Space was relevant!
HAHAHAHA HILARIOUS AND ORIGINAL
Ballpark Burgers wait, is that sarcasm?
Perhaps
Ballpark Burgers I'll take that as I yes...
Last time I was here. You were harassed by a racist & we destroyed him with facts.
Very cool and quality video
Beautiful map!
Thankyou man
You're very welcome. Where'd you get the custom assets from?
It looks so much like Dublin
Grytzen Veenstra got the assets from assault contact 2 and put a lot together my self such as the statues and bridge and
The bridge and statues are perfect mightymapper. Even the lamps on the bridge it's so well researched
Spectacular Video!
Doing my usual stuff, watching videos and out of the corner of my eye "Diplex still doing MOWAS2.." seen the title, exceptions can be made... Love how diplex at the end was trying to explain the British Victory and Irish Loss, lol. We're Irish, we don't give a shit who won we are going to fight you anyway. e.e
Rocky road to Dublin my dude!!!
Thanks for the video your the beast man plus I'm from Ireland
diplex theres a 5 episode drama on Netflix called "Rebellion" about the Easter rising that is quite good. You should give it a watch. It shows before the rising, during then after.
Not about the Rising but what happened afterwards: The Wind That Shakes the Barley
I know this happened in 1916, but I'd love to see an alternate version set in 1918 where the Irish would have cannons, and some more MGs, and the British would have 3 Mark-V tanks. (even though it wasn't deployed until 1918...) I just find that interesting, not sure if you would too.
I think we need a vid of the battle you talk about at the beginning with the small bridge!
Great video!
People are like "ugh 360p, disgusting, I haré this".
I'm just like
"Diplex Made a New video? And is in Irland? This will be amazing"
You are without a doubt, a legend! By the way, when will you do another star wars mod?
I liked the Union Jack at the postoffice. I know i'm picky, but still funny though.
Also that with the helmets make perfectly scence, because they first get introduced, in the great war at 1916. So a lot of the troops, din't got them until now. And they where mostley ment to help against shrapnels from detonations, and not against bullets.
there is a Netflix series on it, and i think it actually got awards for its accuracy.
Ser på senare men efter som det är du som har gjort den så vet jag att det här kommer vara bra
the battle starts at 5:12 for you all and have a good day
Great video I'm pretty sure all the facts and story's were right and there is actually a story about a boy who was either 15 or 16 or somewhere around that age that was handed a shotgun and was told to go fight
Interesting fact: Most rebels wore their suits as they were mainly civilians with guns, not professional soldiers (Although might have been trained) also there was one gun for every two rebels that fought making it hard for the rebels. (Btw the IRA was not established later on, the people that fought were the ICA and IRB)
DiplexHeated 16:55 I'm not sure if there are any good movies about 1916, none that i'm aware of anyway. If you can find 'The Treaty' with Brendan Gleeson it covers the period after 1916 from around 1918/19-21 and its better than 'Michael Collins' with Neeson. 'The Wind That Shakes The Barley' is great but again it sort of covers after '16, in 1921-22. Lots of documentaries and books on 1916 though. Liam Neeson narrates a great documentary on 1916 actually.
As an Irishman living and working on this very street this pleased me most of these buildings are still standing and some shells and still stuck inside the walls of the GPO also the orange men who are British living in the North marched down this street with British flags in the mid 2000s they were soundly beaten back up north were they belong
you should do the battle of vinegar hill. It's a massive battle and would be a great video
The wind that shakes the barley
Trivia: The Irish resistance used quite a number of German and French guns, bought through neutral countries and likely though Germany itself.
ayy I'm from western Ireland!
Where is this map from? It is quite amazing!
Wind that shakes the barley is a good one for the rising
War of Independence (and start of the Civil War) **
You should do videos of lesser known battles and conflicts I think that would be cool.
i know two good movies: michael collins and the wind that shakes the barley, both are awesome and i watched them multiple times, and it would be awesome if you could make Men of war mission about those movies
And with WW1 scenarios, is there any way to do one based on if Mexico invaded the Southwest United States with German support?
grate video only thing was the bulk of those fighting was the Irish citizen army they could use a shout out and it was the Irish Republican brotherhood not army but I'm so happy to see the conflict finally being shown great job
the fact about the bridge you mention at the start is true
Rocky Road to Dublin fuck yeah
