Cool
ho diddly deed, a leprechaun just put a bomb in me potato
Id love to but they dont support paypal so i cant get it since i dont have a credit card
@@andreasstrauss5194 good point, roughly half of Europe doesn't have creditcards.
Might want to cover this in Lies: 5:10
Names for Irish Organisations/Paramilitaries at this time can be confusing. But Generally the group formed in 1913 are simply known as “The Ulster Volunteers”(UV) while the Organisation formed in the 1960’s is generally more commonly called “the Ulster volunteer Force (UVF)
As an Irish person this is good to see, but one slight flaw. Ireland officially became a republic in 1949 (essentially became a republic in 1937 after Bunreacht na hEireann), in 1922 we became a Dominion, similar to Canada. In fact this is part of the reason why the Irish civil war in 1922 happened, many felt that the republic they fought for had been betrayed
1937
@@Daeyae constitution 1937, Dominion status terminated by the Republic of Ireland act 1948 which came into force in 1949
Indeed they had been bettrayed and the aims of 1916 Proclamation were tramped all over by those Irish Free State traitors. You only have to look at the names of the women in the Dáil on 7 Jan 1922 100% of whom voted against the treaty whereas only 40% off the men did...God bless them all I say. Seems the women had far bigger balls than the men did that day.
Well, that can be covered in “Lies”
@@YourLocalNewJerseyian Well, that democracy for you, get over it, and it's about what the people of Scotland want, not what you want.
Oh my god as an Irish person I’ve been dying for episodes on the revolutions! Would love to see a Michael Collins centered episode going into the Anglo-Irish Treaty and the Civil War!
Extra History is great for making history more accessible and easier to understand. I've been looking forward to more Scottish and Irish history because there's quite a lot of it and it can be daunting to approach from a layman's perspective. This is going to be great!
As a fellow Irish person I would also love more irish history as most of it is unknown outside ireland
Indeed! I was was watching The Great War channel's specials on those topics you mention. I learned so much.
About damn time
Same
I'm so happy as an irish person to see our history animated by you guys
same here
If it was a glorious thing, I'd be more proud. As it is, attention is nice, but the truth is better hidden behind shamrocks and leprechauns.
So are y'all Irish Irish or American Irish?
Did you watch their Irish potato famine series a few years ago?
@@cometmoon4485 yeah i did
As a person from the UK, I'm happy to see Irish history (like this and the potato famine) presented here as it's an important part of our history that was not taught when I was at school.
Same, this is the first time I'm hearing about the Easter Rising or Irish Home rule. Obviously excised from most UK school curriculums
Really? That's shocking to hear. While not focused on in great detail the US, the the Irish potato famine was at least mentioned in our history class at least in the context of European migrations to the US.
@@DJHDOG The Potato Famine I think was only mentioned by my educators once I got to university, again only in the context of European migrations across the globe. Nothing was mentioned of the details of the Potato Famine actually in Ireland, Irish/UK relations, Easter Rising or Home Rule etc anywhere in my education, and oddly enough I went to a Catholic school. My ancestors fled Ireland during the Famine to live with relatives in England, according to family history anyway. It seems, in my case at least, Irish history was carefully avoided in my, and my peers, mandatory education
@@FlyingFox1994 The famine was covered a bit in my history schooling in Scotland (around 2010) in high school. Not a huge mention and was sandwiched in with things like the voting reform acts, mining and more as kind of a lead-up to WW1. That was the only real mention of Irish history, even with Jacobean stuff it focused more on Scotland and results such as the clearances and land reform in the highlands. Series like these and the searches they inspire are definitely the reason why I know a more rounded view of history.
You're British. It isn't your history.
"As down the glen one Easter morn',
To a city fair rode I.
There armed lines of marching men
In squadrons passed me by.
No pipe did hum,
No battle drum,
Did sound its loud tattoo,
But the Angelus Bells
O'er the Liffey swells,
Rang out in the foggy dew."
-'The Foggy Dew', Irish Song about the Easter Rising, First Verse
Right proudly high in Dublin town
Hung they out a flag of war
'Twas better to die 'neath that Irish sky
Than at Sulva or Sud-El-Bar
And from the plains of Royal Meath
Strong men came hurrying through
While Brittania's Huns with their long range guns
Sailed in through the foggy dew
Their bravest fell and the requiem bell
Rang mournfully and clear
For those who died that Eastertide in the
Springing of the year
While the world did gaze with deep amaze
At those fearless men but few
Who bore the fight that freedom's light
Might shine through the foggy dew
And back through the glen, I rode again
And my heart with grief was sore
For I parted then with valiant men
Whom I never shall see more
But to and fro in my dreams I go
And I kneel and pray for you
For slavery fled, O glorious dead
When you fell in the foggy dew
Best version of this sing is The Chieftans & Sinead O'connor imo!!
Thus England bade our wild geese go so small nations might be free
But their lonely graves are by Suvla's Waves at the fringe of the Great North Sea.
Oh had they died by Pearse's is side or fought with Cathal Brugha
Their names we would keep where the Fenians sleep in midst of the Foggy Dew
8:30 Roger Casement is well known in Peru. He stood up for the rights of indigenous people being exploited in the Peruvian rainforst by evil landowners. In fact he is the main character in the historical novel "El Sueño del Celta" by Peruvian novelist Mario Vargas Llosa. It's worth pointing out that said novel came out a few days after Mario was awarded the Literature Nobel Prize. To this day he is the only Peruvian to have won said prize.
Hes also famous for reporting on the belgian cruelty in the congo much to the same vane as peru in the casement report of 1904
As a writer, I hope to achieve this accomplishment but this dude sounds incredibly badass, is there an English translation of this novel?
whts crazy too is tht i live in the same house as he did ,, literally same rooms he would have lived in .
He was truly a great man
He was a great man and it is so sad that every single witness for the prosecution at his trail was Irish. Talk about being stabbed in the back. He never deserved such an act of treachery. RIP Great Man.🙏
If you're ever in Dublin I STRONGLY encourage you to visit the GPO they do tours telling you all about the rising and you can still see the bullet holes that were never repaired on the front of the building
Good call and a must for anyone visiting Dublin. I would suggest the "1916 Rebellion Walking Tour" run by Lorcan Collins. You will enjoy the tour (circa 2 hours) as Loran is a real Dublin wit and it will open your eyes to real Irish History and The Easter Rising.
I didn't get to do the tour, but I did watch and touch the bullet holes in the building, as well as tour the Jail where the leaders were executed.
I've been watching extra history for years now I love you guys videos they've taught me a lot of things
Thanks for watching!
I just spent the last 2 hours studying for my Irish history test and came to youtube for a cool down before actually starting it. Found my way here somehow... learning more Irish history
Always nice to see Irish history
Dublin was an amazing city to visit. It's so eerie to walk through where the Rising happened, and still see the bullet holes. Chilling. Exhilarating.
As my Irish Granpa would say: "Erin go Braugh!"
"Erin go Braugh!" is actually the anglicised(english version) of the phrase "Éirinn go Brách" in Gaeilge, or the Irish language, it basically means "Ireland Forever".
@@niallcarrick6456 I know what it means, of course (half Irish here). But since it seems like no two Gaelic speakers can agree how to spell or pronounce anything, I don't bother, lol. Whichever came up first in the google search was going in.
@@davididiart5934 Oh OK, I wasn't sure if you would know,
BTW nobody at all in Ireland calls the language Gaelic, Gaelic is the type of language, the 3 most popular gaelic languages are Irish (Gaeilge), Scottish Gaelic (Gàidhlig), and Welsh(
It would be like if I said you were speaking a Germanic language, technically true, but not really, when referring to the Irish language, it is either just Irish or Gaeilge.
I know it might seem pedantic but its a very annoying misconception.
@@niallcarrick6456 It is _very_ pedantic. But since I am also a HUGE pedant myself, I'll call it fair. XD
@@niallcarrick6456 just wanted to correct you there, Welsh isn’t referred to as Gaelic. Irish, Scottish Gaelic and Manx are all apart of the Goidelic side of the Celtic language tree, while Welsh, Cornish and Breton are apart of the Brythonic side of the tree. The difference is the Goidelic languages originally are Irish who moved or invaded into lands such as Scotland, which originally spoke pictish, while Brythonic languages are those who originated on the island of Britian, such is the case with Breton which is now spoken in Brittany, France. And such as Welsh and Cornish.
Ah an Ireland history video, nice to hear more about my history
It was a pleasure to learn more about it!
@@extrahistory yes
Great video as always! One small thing ireland would not become a republic after 6 years it would become the Irish free state a dominion of the British empire like Canada and South Africa. Ireland would officially become a republic in 1949
From the Battle of Blair Mountain to the Easter Rising ? This is awesome ! Would love to see a mini episode on maybe the Austrian Civil War since we are going from uprising to uprising.
L love the Series on the Potato Famine and how you guys talk about it great knowing million of People who love history know a little but more because of your guys and now people around the world can watch this series of new episodes
I'm Irish and I'm so happy about this series existing.
Nice. Some more on British imperial history! Cecil Rhodes, the Mau Mau rebellion, the Morant Bay Rebellion & Baptist War in Jamaica.
Rewatching this playlist, I must say: I have nothing but respect for the Irish
Thank you for this series.
🇮🇪 knew long beforehand the price it would take to leave the British Empire.
Respect from 🇮🇳
I'm not Irish but I started learning about the fight for Irish independence a couple years ago and it's SO INTERESTING, I'm surprised there's not more media about it outside of the UK.
theres alot of media about it in ireland too
There's lots of media about it outside the UK, here in Ireland for example! 😉
That one hurt to read
You do realise your last sentence shows you do not understand that Ireland won its independence from the uk and is not a part of it?
A quick note of correction at 1:32. By 1922, Ireland would not be "a republic independent from the United Kingdom". It was instead the Irish Free State which was a dominion of the British Empire, of similar status to Canada and Australia. In fact, it would not become a full republic until 1949 when it severed ties with the Commonwealth.
I’m so happy that you guys are making videos the Easter rising, it’s such an important part of Irish modern history
Happened to be in Ireland for a week in 2016. It was nice to see all the commemorative stuff and learn a bit of history we'd never heard.
Zoe's face after seeing two Matts was just hilarious!
“I was born on a Dublin street where the
Loyal drums the beat.
And those loving English feet, they
Walked all over us.
And every single night when me da'
Would come home tight
He'd invite the neighbours out with this chorus.”
COME OUT AND FIGHT ME LIKE A MAN
@@San_Aviation SHOW YOUR WIFE HOW YOU WON MEDALS DOWN IN FLANDERS
@@GeorgianPapist514 TELL HER HOW THE IRA MADE YOU RUN LIKE HELL AWAY
FROM THE GREEN AND LOVELY LANES OF KILLISANDRA
I love the attention to detail in the artwork, with the sides having the appropriate rifle types, with the British and Ulster forces being equipped with SMLE and the Irish with a mix of what looks like Mosin Nagants, even if the angled magazine section looks a bit long and Mauser 1871 and probably some 1898.
From whwat ive seen, its only Mosins... the Mauser rifles never had that distinctive metal clip in front of the trigger.
(shown in the "boat unloads its cargo" scene)
@@Alfadas96 early mausers did (1889-1890), but it was a slightly different shape. However the rifles that ended up in Ireland if I'm remembering right were also purchased from ÖWG in Austria, and were effectively mausers that mauser himself didn't own the rights to. Those had protruding magazines as they were loaded en bloc, but again, slightly different shape. They seem to have only drawn mosins though, which nobody outside of Russia was making at the time
@@greg_mca I picked up on this too, the Lee-Enfields the British had made sense but the Mosins seemed odd, so I looked it up.
Apparently Germany tried to smuggle some 20,000 captured Mosins to Ireland upon the SS Libau, however that plan failed and the ship was sunk. It's possible some Mosins would have made it into Irish hands via other means, but everything I can find says the most used rifles in this uprising would have been the '71 Mausers, so odd that only Mosins were shown in the video.
1.38 CORRECTION: Six years after the rising Ireland was NOT a Republic, but a free state(dominion status) and all Irish TD's (Members of the Irish Parliament) still had to declare an oath of allegiance to the King. Full independence and a Republic didn't happen until the 40's. Great video though, looking forward to watching the rest of the series.
On a point of accuracy, the Irish Free State was established in 1922, but the Republic wasn't officially established until 1937/1948 (depending on your exact definition). As a Free State, Ireland was still under the Crown, though it was ruled from Dublin rather than Westminster
I love these episodes!! Rebellions are always particularly interesting. I hope one day we can see a series on the Russian revolution. I've been reading about it, and it really is a very important event to understand to be able to contextually the 20th century. I'd recommend "Ten Days That Shook the World" by John Reed, and "The History of the Russian Revolution" by Trotsky as two immensely valuable accounts of that era.
I'm part Irish and have been trying to get back in tiuch with the history and culture. I've been feeling like a fraud for not knowing anything about my ancestors. My lovely partner suggested your account. Thank you
1:40 Correction.
The Republic of Ireland (Èire) did not come about until 1937. From the signing of the Anglo-Irish Treaty in 1922, the country was the Irish Free State and was still part of the British Commonwealth with the king as its head of state.
I was dreading clicking on this considering how often *our* history is taught to people through the British lense, well done lads
I'm British myself but apparently my great grandfather was a driver for certain individuals in the IRA around this time. My Irish grandparents left Munster for London after WW2 for work and that's how I'm here now. My other grandparents were Welsh and Yugoslav respectively
Well your family has a history with countries that have had some inner strive. I hope you were told a lot of positive stories despite everything that happened in their lives.
As Yet Another Irishman™, I am very happy to see a series about the rising. One day maybe we'll get the troubles, or the civil war :)
The beginning of the civil war series will be the assassination of micheal collins and the troubles the begin with bloody sunday
As an Englishman, this series will be very interesting but also rather upsetting just knowing how bloody the relationship between the United Kingdom and Ireland was in the early 20th century. The Easter Rising, The Irish War of Independence, and the Irish Civil War were bloody, messy and violent and it is a shame that both our nations were embroiled in this due to faulty and idiotic politics. The effects were still felt up to the Troubles of the late 20th century, which from the stories and first hand accounts I’ve heard, makes me feel sick, even ashamed with how both sides acted. This series will definitely help to educate on how Ireland earned its independence, but also show just what it would lead to. To all the Irishmen (and women) reading this, both from Northern Ireland and The Republic of Ireland, I look forward to learning more about your history 🙂
"were still felt up to the Troubles of the late 20th century"
People (of all stripes of religion, nationality, identity, what have you) are *still* feeling the effects in the north of Ireland. When's the last time they had a functioning government? Hopefully more and more people do learn the history and we can all start to move forward again.
As a great friend of Ireland and a student of its history, I'm delighted to see EH dedicating their time and resources to Irish history.
7 minutes in and I already can't wait for the "Lies" episode to explain why the "Mausers" are drawn as Mosins, and why they skipped right over that the Home Rule bill wasn't just put on a back burner, but outright cancelled for fear an Irish Parliament would vote to stay Neutral, and cost England the ability to conscript Irishmen for their war.
Also gotta love how Germany invades Belgium because they refused to allow Germany to attack France through Belgium, so England declares war, only to do the EXACT SAME THING just weeks later when Greece refuses to allow England to attack the Ottomans at Gallipoli from Greece.
Too bad the English didn't send Englishmen to die on that shoreline, instead sending their colonists to die for them.
What makes you think there were no Englishmen at Gallipoli?
Mate the Anzac thought with English and Scottish forces as well.
As an Irish-American I just wanted to thank you guys for making a video on the Easter Rising! Most people of Irish descent here really don't get taught about Irish history, culture, language, or anything regarding the country and people living there. This video was an amazing summary of the beginnings of the Easter Rising and hopefully it inspires people to learn more about Irish history as it's really fascinating!
1. 1:35 Ireland didn't become a republic in 1922, but 1949 after the Republic Of Ireland Act. In 1922 it seperated from the United Kingdom and became a Dominion still official under the Crown.
2. 6:04 While it's nice paint the picture of the country coming together to fight the war it wasn't so simple. While yes many Catholic (read nationalist) men joined the army. When the British government tried to extend conscription to Ireland it was met with massive Protests, which lead to the government backing down.
There was at least 2 decades between the Easter Rising and an Irish Republic, not 6 years
It's a noble cause to throw off hundreds of years of oppression.
As an Irish-American and remembering this story from my great grandfather, who told me this story. Thank you for remembering this.
I would love to see you guys make a series on the revolution and civil war maybe even the troubles. Keep up the good work guys!
I’ve been becket bamoozeled by the amount of rebel factions in this video there is so many! Never knew how much one could break down a revolution but here you go!
Fun fact: Abraham Stoker, the creator of Dracula, was an advocate for Irish Home Rule.
It was the popular opinion at the time.
Born in Dublin.
Home rule is basically what devolution is for Wales and Scotland today.
Now we need a series on the troubles
Loved the video! It would be great if you guys did an episode on Slovak National Uprising in the 19th century.
Let's goo! I know this is going to be a nice series
Lol. That cheeky reference to extra literature.
“So you haven’t read the news.”
It's so fun to see this, because I've been waiting for this since I found you all with your Irish Famine series. Funnily enough, I was doing a school project about the Easter Rising.
I've been waiting for this episode for years!
I'm so glad you guys are covering the easter rising
You have just summoned all Ireland. Well, most of em anyway, hopefully someday *all*
Yassss!!!
Another amazing video from the Extra Credits team! Can't wait for the next one!
Finally man!!! Thank you so much for this I've been wanting this for so long as a descendant of major John Macbride it's a great thing to see that large channels are showing our ancestors struggle for freedom! Love this and you guys so much
Let's go! I'm so happy that some of my history is being told by you guys. Can't wait for you to discuss Pearce and Collins.
I'm so excited for this series! This is a topic I'm very much interested in.
*I was born in a Dublin street where the loyal drums did beat, the loving English feet they walked all over us*
This channel is the best for approachable Irish history. Watched your famine vids a few weeks ago. Thanks a mill from Ireland
This should be good. I’ve been to Dublin with my family once on my life (so far) and being the history nerd that I am naturally went to the GPO that served as the backdrop for this. The museum there was nice, and you can still see some of the bullets that I think were from the rising, thoguht they may have been from the war of independence or civil war as I’m sure the building was come involved in some way in those conflicts. I (and the rest of my family) also went to Kilmainham Gaol and saw some the cells where some of the leaders were held. Overall, it was really interesting and was definitely a highlight of the trip
The very same day you guys uploaded this one I watched your potato famine series and then asked myself if you guys had a series about this, and after finishing watching the last video saw in my notifications this one uploaded just 30 min ago. Excellent service 😃👍🏼
I have always been super interested in this topic, so glad to see it get covered
Its great to see a series on the rising as someone whose Great- Great Grandfather died in the war of independence later on and is very distantly related to Thomas Ashe of the Rising from that side of the family I feel it needs a lot more recognition
I've been waiting for a series on this ever since the final episode of the Irish Potato Famine series! Awesome to see it coming!
Ireland wasn't a Republic in 1922 but in 1936. They became a Dominion in 1922
I was just in Dublin a month ago and visited the museum at the GPO. Fantastic stuff.
I'm really loving the new art quality, kudos, EC artists.
Excited to finally see this, can't wait for more episodes.
I literally commented on oversimified asking for a video on The Troubles yesterday afternoon 🤣😂
Perfect! Thank you so much!!
yes another amazing video can't wait for the next one 🥰
Thank you~
I was in Dublin for the centenary of the Easter rising. Very excited for this one!
It has been a while since I last watched this channel and now that it has been recommended to me I remember why I liked it so much.
I'd love to see an ancient Irish series
Maybe not ancient, but they should totally do Grace O’ Malley!
Perhaps more information on Brian Boru? He was mentioned during the Viking Expansion series.
I've been obsessed with everything Irish for years despite having nothing to do with the culture in the slightest. The trip to Dublin my mates and I took a few years ago remains one of my most joyous memories. This series is gonna be awesome.
5:49 You got that bit wrong, surprisingly. It’s actually because a bloke called Archie Duke shot an ostrich because he was hungry.
WOOOOO! New series to watch
Ireland gained dominion status six years after the rising, it did not declare itself a Republic until 1937. This was, in fact, one of the disagreements that led to the civil war.
I’ve always wanted to learn more about the history of Ireland great choice!!!
Glad you made this, sun earned for sure, looking forward to the rest.
So happy to see my country getting recognition 🇮🇪
1:34 Alas it took over 3 decades for Ireland to eventually get their independence and become a Republic. The Treaty signed to end the war of independence classified Ireland as a Dominion State of the British Empire.
Issues over independence was a major part of what led to the Civil War that was to follow
Thank you so much for spreading Irish history
My great great grandfather was part of the Easter rising
Thanks for this EC on the Easter Rising. I studied Irish history during my Masters, but the professor who taught the course was so scatterbrained that she barely made sense. This will finally shine light on an important part of Irish history.
I love that you got Nick to do the art for this - makes it feel like a true sequal to the potato famine series!
Yeahhh baby this is what ive been waiting for this is what its all about woooooooo (as an irish history youtuber these are the parts of our history i wish i could do as well as these guys)
I thought it was coming next week when it wasn’t uploaded yesterday. Glad I was proven wrong.
Ah, Irish History! A history that I don't know much about. I'm looking forward to learning more!
Me too. This is the sort of videos their channel hooked me with. Irish history seems to be one of those that gets ignored outside of "potato famine = more immigration".
Same here!
Hell yeah, love me some Irish history
Ive been waiting so long for this
Love the channel!! Keep up the great work!
As a young Irish person I find this very interesting
Yes! I've been hoping for this as a Dublin native!!
I was waiting for this episode 😊
I have been waiting for this
Yaaay more Irish history! Thank you!!!
Hon de boys in green! It's great to see you guys doing a series on this!!
My Great grandfather was in the UVF and then fought at the Somme where he was captured. Still have his letter he recieved from the King after he was released.
WHY IS THIS CHANNEL SO GOOD
