Why Did the Irish Want Home Rule?
- 1981 ----- color ----- 60 min ----- vhs
- Discussion about Home Rule almost invariably concentrates on the view from London which means that the Irish are seen mainly as an element in Gladstone's career or in the break-up of the Liberal Party. Dr. Conor Cruise O'Brien discusses the grievances of the Irish, especially those of land and religion. He identifies the separate groups, both peaceful and violent, which made up the Home Rule movement, as well as considering the strengths and weaknesses of the movement as a whole. Finally, he looks at the contemporary situation in Ireland in historical perspective from Parnell's home in County Wicklow.
- Topics: (British Isles, History: British, Political Science: British)
