Easter Rising in 8 Minutes - Manny Man Does History

my respects to the irish,would love to visit👍

Today 24th April…the 105th Anniversary of the Easter Rising!…All honour to the Irish Republican Brotherhood, The Irish Citizen Army, The Irish Volunteers, The Women of Cumann na mBan and the boys of Na Fianna Eireann. May their Names and Courage never be forgotten.

Not austro-hungarian archduke, only Austrian archduke, in history, there was not archduke, or archduchy of austria-hungary

Mr Ruddy, this was a magnificent video. Your video on the War of Independence is also excellent. I was less impressed with your video on the Civil War it showed some of your personal biases, but it was still a fine piece of work. When we spoke a few years ago at the Dublin Worldcon I expressed a desire for a video on how the ideals of the Rising, the dreams of Socialists and Women were sold out by DeValera with the Catholicisation of the Constitution. You could also cover neutrality in WWII, accession to the UN eventually, the border campaign and up to the Troubles at least (but including the repeal of the 8th perhaps?), you opined that you had something like that in mind. I hope you have not changed your mind because what you would have with it is a magnificent popular history of modern Ireland.

Let's face it: if this happened in somewhere like Scotland today, most of us would just see it as terrorism. Goes to show that not everything's black and white.

I watched this in school and it was very informative. It was also just a pleasure to watch. Proud of my country and the person who made this 🇮🇪👏

Isn't it...Padraig Pearse...not...Patrick Pearse

Why in a video like this are they calling it "Sackville street"

moral of the story: britan is a fucking asshole of the highest degree

Fantastic video

This was incredibly informative, and I love your art style.

Hey John could you do a video of the North King Street Massacre 1916 please

It's the same old theme, since 1916

And here's to James Connoly who gave one Hurrah! and faced the machine guns for Erin Go Bragh

?Que Hora es?

POG

Didn’t know Germany attempted to support Ireland’s independence movement.

Traitors as many good Irishman were fighting on the Western Front at the time.

Slow down.

this was in britain: union and conflict

Happy easter 🐣

If you want a quick, yet detailed synopsis of events in Irish history John is the man to go to. He manages to give you just enough information, and in easily digestible bites which include interesting quotes to really tell the story. Great stuff!

Up the ICA

Yea

Its important to,acknowledge while,being irish is something to be proud of its also something to be ashamed of . we may be a little different but we are no better or worse than any other peoples we have many skeletons in the cupboard some of which have been discovered

I have no idea how I didn't realize what the Irish flag stood for, holy shit

Meh.

Hope the Irish can move on one day and not hate us English and we can start to realise that we have a lot in common and we’re family 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🇮🇪 🇬🇧

If the Irish volunteers had gotten the German arms would it make a difference?

My Great Grandmother & her Brothers came to Boer Republics to escape the British, the famine & to find work in the Transvaal gold mines only to face British tyranny again during that Anglo-Boer war 5 years later. Ned Daly was my Grandmother's cousin.

Ireland didn't have a famine it was a planned genocide by the english

to rushed

Brilliant resource, thanks so much for all your work. And thinking of your mum RIP <3

Great video

we watch your videos in school and we love them god be with your mother.

yeah that's what happened the Irish had to sell their other crops, they definitely had a choice

Woke Ireland would like to deny this ever happened. They worship at the altar of the EU.

The English invented the Kangaroo courts.

Did they mention the B Specials
A death squad that ran amouck

Never mind St Patrick's day. This is a day of remembrance. We don't forget even if the week woke EU pandering gov would have believe.

This video's a timeless classic

The Conquest of Ireland arguably wasn’t fully completed until the Act of Union in 1800 when the Kingdom of Ireland (after centuries of constitutional and regime changes) was forcibly merged into the British state (though our civil service and courts remained separate, and we retained our legislative representatives). Those representatives forced to sit in London instead of Dublin, but went back to Ireland in 1919 and declared independence in a reconstituted Irish Parliament (copying the Hungarian walkout of the Austrian parliament in the 1860s).

European history is very complicated as you can imagine …

"An Irish republic for the Irish"? Sounds like right wing extremism. This video must be banned!

Weird to think this video is almost a decade old

The irony of Cú Chulainn, is that he didnt die defending Ireland from invasions, rather, both he and Conall Cernach died defending Ulster from Ancient Foes to the Kingdom of Ulaid

I loved the video! Great sketching and knowledge! Keep it up 😁
