The Easter Rising is one of the most violent yet proud times in Irish history. It began while England were struggling in World War I and Irish leaders saw this distraction as Ireland's opportunity. On Easter Monday, Irish Rebels scattered around famous buildings in Dublin and took control. This included the G.P.O (General Post Office) and O'Connell Street. As this was a Bank Holiday, all British soldiers that usually patrolled Dublin were at the races. When the English government found out about what was going on in Dublin, they sent 16,000 British troops over to Dublin, compared to the Rebel's 1,250 men. The Irish held out for a from the 24th of April to the 29th of April and were soon forced to surrender. All Irish leaders were executed except for Eamon De Valera, as he was an American citizen, and the British wanted the support of the USA in World War I.
