Irish Civil War in 14 Minutes - Manny Man Does History

The transcript covers the Irish War of Independence, the signing of the Anglo-Irish Treaty, and the subsequent division it caused, leading to the Irish Civil War. The treaty created the Irish Free State, but not all were satisfied, leading to a split between pro-treaty and anti-treaty forces. The Civil War saw former allies fighting each other, with significant battles like the Battle of Dublin. The war ended with the Free State's victory, but left a lasting impact on Irish politics, leading to the formation of Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael. The transcript also touches on the Troubles in Northern Ireland and the peace achieved with the Good Friday Agreement.
