Study Notes
A2 2 History: Partition of Ireland 1900-1925
- 1906 General Election Significance: Liberal victory marked a shift in Irish politics, ending 10 years of Conservative rule.
- 1910 General Election Significance: A "hung parliament" resulted, with no single party gaining a majority. The Irish Parliamentary Party (IPP) held the balance of power, giving them leverage.
- Liberal Government Under Asquith (1910-1914): The Liberal government, led by Herbert Henry Asquith, faced challenges from the Irish question and the House of Lords. Their aim was to resolve Irish issues but also maintain their domestic policies.
- Ulster Unionist, Southern Unionist & Conservative Opposition: The main opposition to Home Rule came from nationalist groups, particularly the Ulster Unionist Council (led by Edwar Carson), Southern Unionists and the Conservatives.
- Motivations for Opposition: Religious concerns (fear of Catholic dominance), economic concerns (loss of trade and industry), and political anxieties (British Empire impacts) drove opposition.
- Methods of Opposition: Rallying 250,000 people, creating a movement to resist Home Rule, threatening violence (and employing it as a tactic), and exploiting divisions within Ireland.
- Home Rule Crisis (1910-1914): The political and social tension that arose from the Irish Home Rule Bill and the Ulster Unionist Party's opposition to the extension of Home Rule to all of Ireland.
- The Parliament Act (1911): This act limited the power of the House of Lords to veto legislation.
- Political Context of 1910s Ireland: Political disagreements concerning Home Rule and its potential impact on Ireland.
- The role of John Redmond & The IPP: The Irish Parliamentary Party, led by John Redmond, was the main political force advocating for Home Rule in Ireland. They worked closely with the British Liberal Party to promote their cause.
- Significance of The Curragh Incident (1914): Army officers in Ireland refused to suppress the Ulster Volunteer Force (UVF) raising fears of mutiny.
- The Third Home Rule Bill: The third home rule bill was introduced in 1912 to resolve the issues surrounding Home Rule in Ireland, yet it did not include a specific section for Ulster. The bill successfully passed.
- Extra-parliamentary Activities: The Ulster Volunteer Force (UVF) and other extra-parliamentary groups played a significant role in opposing the bill by employing violent tactics.
- Other developments (1910-1914): Constitutional crises, negotiations, speeches, and public demonstrations shaped the crisis.
