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.

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.
