- How Michael Collins DEFEATED the British Empire in Ireland
Michael Collins holds a revered place in Irish history as a pivotal figure who played a defining role in the country's quest for independence. Collins' significance lies in his strategic brilliance and unwavering dedication to the cause of Irish Freedom. At one point he was one the most wanted man in Ireland and one of the most wanted men in the British Empire, with a bounty of nearly 730,000 Dollars in todays money on his head. As Director of Intelligence for the Irish Republican Army (IRA), he orchestrated a network of intelligence and counterintelligence operations that weakened British control throughout Ireland. His expertise in guerrilla warfare and his adept use of hit-and-run tactics undermined the British military's efforts, hastening negotiations for peace.
In his short lifetime he had fought the British Empire to a stalemate, negotiated the first Treaty of independence for Ireland and overseen its transition to a democracy.
Collins was born near Rosscarbery in County Cork 1890. He attended school and then worked as a local journalist, writing sports reviews before moving to London at the age of 15 to work for the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA).

He was no doubt that 1 in 10,000. What was his Greatest Strength??
Hard to pick one, his wit and audacity
Audacity
Clearly a pioneer in counter intelligence. His picture is on the wall in Langley or at least on their website. Even the MI6 quote him
An Irish icon, father of the state 🇮🇪
One of the greatest leaders in history.
for sure he was, we need more like him these days and cant help but imagine what he would have accomplished had he lived longer
@@HistoryExplained185 Yes, he was a legend.
Sorry I can't let that go, potentially he was but failed miserably.
Thengreen hold thier spot orsnge have their spot ..
Greatest Irishman ever. Ireland needs the likes of him again.
He sold out the north of Ireland
Had the brits on their knees no other country achieved
What Ireland did against all odds still no peace yet 😢
Until we get answers and public apology from the crown 👑
🇮🇪🍀💚💚💚
The greatest empire in modern history began unraveling thanks to this one genius and high Irish morals compared with British War criminals. Ironic that fools in England compare zelensky to Churchill.😂😂😂. Russia will lose cos purin is copying Churchill and Zelensky must have learnt our history when he visited in 2017. Britain today has learned from its mistakes and keeps its war crimes private. ie SAS
The Irish beat the british monster at the height of its power. The Irish are powerful
The 6 counties are not and never have been and never will be a part of Great Britain... Theyre a part of the island of Ireland and a part of the political entity that is The United Kingdom of Great Britain & Northern Ireland for the time being. Theres the Irish sea between Great Britain (the large island) and Ireland..... Basic stuff..
Ironicly sad that after battling on behalf of Irishmen, he was murdered by one of them !
A brave man signed his own death warrant ☘️😔
It was 1922 not 1923
He didn't defeat the British Empire in Ireland, he only defeated it in the south; he would tell you that himself if he were alive today.
He didn't break the empire. Formidable man though
No he brought it to heel do.
He started the ball rolling for the empire to collapse
He defeated the strongest imperial power at its height. As soon as Ireland left the union, the british empire collapsed.
He humbled the british empire. Nobody has ever done that, alone, without outside help, only the Irish.
He would be rolling in his grave now!
He sold out the his fellow Irishmen and Irishwomen in the north of Ireland
"Collins a journalist". At age 13? I don't think so. BS video and back-of-box breakfast cereal history.
Heres how: he didn't. Ireland is still not ran by the Irish
