CLEAN : Ireland marks the 100th anniversary of the Easter Rising 2

The video discusses the changing perception of the Irish Rising, initially seen as a German-aided conspiracy but later as a legitimate act of self-determination. The executions of leaders had a significant impact on public opinion, especially as they were spread over time. The internment of many Irishmen further shifted public sentiment. Despite efforts, Ireland did not become a 32-county independent republic due to a significant minority identifying as British. The video also highlights Ireland's success in maintaining democracy post-World War I, unlike many European states that turned to dictatorships.
