Today in Irish History – First Day of the 1641 Rebellion, October 23. One of the most tragic days in Irish history. What was intended to be a bloodles coup d'etat devolved into a series of reciprocal massacres between Catholics and Protestants theirishstory.com/2010/10/23…

My article for @theirishstory is now up.
It looks at what Wolfe Tone's little-known 1788 proposal for a British military colony in the Sandwich Islands and what its revival in 1790 reveals about the rapid, though uneven, development of his political thought.
Very intereesting new article on the site by @irvine1798 on how Wolfe Tone, the father of Irish republicanism, once advoated for a British miltiary colony in the Sandwich Islands. theirishstory.com/2026/10/23…

Very interesting new article by Barry Sheppard on the #Lurgan weavers' strike of 1913. Wages had not increased since 1886, & weavers who were noted to be living just on the right side of starvation, struck for better pay to keep up with cost of living. theirishstory.com/2026/10/19…

We have a Podcast on Ireland and the Boer War with @historian1914 here theirishstory.com/2025/06/27…
#OnThisDay 1899 The Second Anglo-Boer War began. At least 30,000 Irishmen would serve there in 13 infantry regiments & 3 cavalry units within the British Army. Another 300 Irishmen, like John MacBride, would fight with the Boers against the British.
