What did the Easter Rising accomplish for Ireland?

Answer 1

It made a great contribution to the cause of Irish indepedence because of the stupidity of the British. The rising itself was not that successful, it didn't have the support of the populace (who initially booed the rebels)and the firepower of the British gave them a sure victory. However, their brutal reaction - 64 rebels and 300 civilians were killed in the action and then they executed 15 rebels by firing squad. Including one, James Connolly, who had already been shot and who was carried out and tied to a chair to be executed. Within days the country was in uproar and independence was in the forefront of everybody's mind. In short it resulted in what eventually became the Repubic of Ireland being an independent nation, the creation of Northern Ireland and changing the components of the United Kingdom.

The Easter Rising was a complete failure, claiming the lives of nearly 1,000 Irish civilians.
