Erin go bragh! That's Gaelic for "Ireland forever."

There was no Gandhi in the bloody Irish struggle for Home Rule. But, like the people of India, the Irish had long been treated miserably by the British. Fighting against the English troops was most intense between 1916 and 1921.

In 1921 the Irish won their freedom.
