Collection of resources about the series of conflicts between 1916 and 1923 centering on issues of Irish independence (University College Cork and the Irish Examiner 2017-21)

Between 1916 and 1921, these conflicts took place between Irish nationalists who desired independence and Unionists who wished to stay in the United Kingdom.

After the 1921 Anglo-Irish treaty, a new conflict emerged between nationalists who supported the treaty and those who opposed it. Many of the resources here focus on Cork, the county that experienced more fatalities than any other Irish county during this time period.

For example, on the Cork's War of Independence Fatality Register, visitors can view a map of fatalities and read a profile of each individual who died during the conflict between 1919 and 1921.

Visitors can also learn how newspapers across the political spectrum reported on the Irish Revolution with the Introducing Cork's Historic Newspaper project.
