The Irish Wars: Ireland’s Fight for Freedom | War Documentary

Описание: The years from 1919 to 1923 are a study in contrasts: two connected but distinct wars unfolding across the same landscape. The first, a fight for independence, sees guerrilla bands challenging the might of an empire, each skirmish bringing the dream of self-rule closer while exacting a steep human toll. The second, a war over what that independence should mean, pits former comrades against each other, tearing the very fabric of society with questions of loyalty, principle, and the future of the fledgling state. In these years, Ireland is a nation caught between hope and violence, between unity and division, a land defined as much by its struggles as by its people.
