How the Irish Revolution was shaped by international actors and
events The Irish War of Independence is often understood as the
culmination of centuries of political unrest between Ireland and
the English. However, the conflict also has a vitally important yet
vastly understudied international dimension. The Irish Revolution:
A Global History reassesses the conflict as an inherently
transnational event, examining how circumstances and individuals
abroad shaped the course Ireland's struggle for independence.
Bringing together leading international scholars of modern Ireland,
its diaspora, and the British Empire, this volume discusses the
Irish revolution in a truly global sense. The text situates the
conflict in the wider context of the international flourishing of
anti-colonial movements following World War I. Despite the
differences between these movements, their proponents communicated
extensively with each other, learning from and engaging with other
revolutionaries in anti-imperial metropoles such as Paris, London,
and New York. The contributors to this volume argue that Irish
nationalists at home and abroad were intimately involved in this
exchange, from mobilizing Ireland's vast diaspora in support of
Irish independence to engaging directly with radical causes
elsewhere. The Irish Revolution is a vital work for all those
interested in Irish history, providing a new understanding of
Ireland's place in the evolving postwar world.
