What is one event in Ireland that happened in 1845?
The Easter Rising in Dublin in 1916 - where Irish rebels took over the centre of Dublin in an effort to free Ireland from British rule. The rebels held out for six days. There were less than 2000 rebels, and they were outnumbered by the British Army at approximately twenty to one. Still, they held out for six days and the centre of Dublin, especially O'Connell Street where the rebel's headquarters were, was destroyed. The rebel's headquarters was the General Post Office, or GPO.
The leader of the Rising, school headmaster Pádraig Pearse, called a ceasefire as the city was being destroyed and too many civilians were being killed. He and the rest of the leaders of the Rising were subsequently executed by the British. When the rest of the rebels were released from prison in 1918, it was this event which inspired them to engage in the War of Independence, which eventually lead to the Republic of Ireland's formation and the ultimate freedom of twenty-six counties of Ireland.
