Study Notes
Primary vs. Secondary Sources
- Primary sources are first-hand accounts from the time of an event, like diaries, letters, photos, or period newspapers. Artifacts are also primary sources.
- Secondary sources interpret or analyze events after they occur, such as history books, documentaries, or biographies.
Bias & Propaganda

- Sinn Féin established Dáil Éireann, an Irish parliament in Dublin, in 1919, instead of sitting in the UK Parliament.
- Britain's refusal to accept Irish self-rule led to the Irish War of Independence (1919-1921).
