Glbl Irish Revoltn 1912-1923

3 Credits · Level: Undergraduate

This course explores the Irish Revolution, for the first time, as a transnational historical event. It examines the Irish Home Rule and Ulster Unionist movements during the Ulster crisis from Canada to Australia; interrogates the relationships of Irish-American nationalists with African-American, Native American, and Latin American activists; and measures the post-war political impacts of Ireland from the Kremlin to the White House. Revolutionary Ireland, Woodrow Wilson would famously conclude, was the ‘great metaphysical tragedy of the day’.
