The Easter Rising, a pivotal moment in Ireland's history, saw brave men and women rise up against British rule. The streets of Dublin became battlegrounds as revolutionaries fought for their nation's freedom. Amidst the turmoil, David Lloyd George leaving Downing Street symbolized the British government's attempt to suppress the uprising. However, they underestimated Michael Collins' determination and leadership skills. Lady Lavery's portrait captures Michael Collins' charisma and influence on Ireland's struggle for independence. His strategic brilliance played a crucial role throughout his career, including his time at Armagh in 1921. The fighting extended beyond Dublin; Belfast witnessed intense clashes like those depicted in Marrowbone area. The battle lines were drawn between British forces and Sinn Fein supporters who refused to back down from their demands. Maud Gonne stands out as an influential figure who championed Irish nationalism through her activism and poetry.

One notable conflict was The Battle of Tralee, where rebels bravely faced off against British forces determined to maintain control over Ireland.
