From #Glasnevin Cemetery in #Dublin, the grave of #MichaelCollins. One of the great fighters for #IrishIndependence, but killed during the following #IrishCivilWar.
#KilmainhamGaol, where many Irish were brutalized (and executed) political prisoners both before 1916's #EasterUprising and during the #IrishCivilWar that followed soon after.

A deep division in Irish society opened up on #ThisDayInHistory in 1922, when the #DáilÉireann ratified the #AngloIrishTreaty by 64–57. The #IrishCivilWar that began in June was launched by the opposing faction. Ireland's three main political parties descend from these factions.

“To me it would have been a criminal act to refuse to allow the #Irish Nation to give its opinion.. whether [to] accept [the AngloIrishTreaty1921 ] or resume hostilities.”

On #ThisDayInHistory in 1922, just two days after taking power in #Ireland, the #IrishFreeState executed, without trial, four #IrishRepublicanArmy leaders from the anti-treaty side in the #IrishCivilWar. Alphabetically: #DickBarrett, #JoeMcKelvey, #LiamMellows, and #RoryOConnor.
On #ThisDayInHistory in 1922, the #IrishFreeState executed nine men, including novelist #ErskineChilders (who was killed for owning a pistol while being Protestant). Free State executed at ~3x the rate of the UK during the independence war, contributing to the #IrishCivilWar.

Maybe the only chance left for Michael Collins to prevent imminent national disaster, was to take his life in his hands, into the wild back roads of West Cork; now.

The promise was renewed for eight thirty with like result. The effect of this is to create great lack of confidence on our side amounting to grave suspicion. Essential that action be taken immediately otherwise situation will become impossible." 3/3
