The Irish Volunteers was a military organisation established in 1913 by Irish nationalists. Its primary aim was "to secure and maintain the rights and liberties common to the whole people of Ireland". The Irish Volunteers fought for Irish independence in the Easter Rising of 1916, alongside the Irish Citizen Army, Cumann na mBan, and Fianna Éireann.

The tone in "Easter 1916" by William Butler Yeats is complex and ambivalent. It shifts between admiration for the rebels' courage and sacrifice, and a sense of despair and futility about the violence and loss caused by the Easter Rising in Ireland. Yeats reflects on the impact of the rebellion on both the individuals involved and the broader historical context.
There were many leaders and key figures in the Easter Rising, including Patrick Pearse, James Connolly, Thomas Clarke , Sean Mac Dermott, Joseph Mary Plunkett, Eamonn Ceannt, and Thomas MacDonagh, amongst others.

yes, but the "Easter Rising" is the usual name
After the Easter Rising, the leaders of the rebellion were swiftly rounded up, given show trials, and executed. While the Irish had not strongly backed the revolution (in fact, some of them openly hated the rebels for the uprising) they were outraged by the executions. Several of the 'leaders' killed were not leaders at all, for example, Willie Pearse was executed primarily because his brother was one of those in charge. Another man, James Connolly, was badly injured during the fighting. The British tied him to a chair and shot him via firing squad. Such brutal deaths were seen as unfair and anti-British sentiments spread after the Easter Rising due to their handling of the trials. This resentment grew as time passed. While the Rising itself did not free Ireland, the memory of its martyrs eventually did.
