Under the leadership of Dublin Corporation, Sir Edward Carson of Irish Unionist Party and the inhabitants of the North, supported by Sir James Craig of Ulster Unionist Party, Became strongly militant in order to oppose Coercion of Ulster. After Main article that passed by Parliament in May 1914To avoid rebellion in Ulster, the British Prime Minister H. H. AsquithIntroduced a rule ratified, reluctantly accepting the leadership of Ireland, which provides for the temporary exclusion of Ulster from the operation for a trial period of six years, as yet undecided on the new set of measures to be taken to the area . Despite having received the Royal Assent and be placed on the statute, the third of the Irish Government Act 1914, was suspended until after the WWI. In implementation of the law after the war, Redmond and his Irish volunteers supported the Allies in World War I, adding 175,000 members of the Irish Regiment 10. Th and 16.

In January 1919, after the general elections of 1918, 73 of 106 members elected to Parliament were Sinn Féin, Who refused to take their places House of CommonsIn United Kingdom. Instead, they created an Irish Parliament called Dáil. This, issued in January 1919, a Declaration of Independence and proclaimed the Republic of Ireland. The Declaration was mainly a restatement of Proclamation 1916With the additional provision that Ireland was no longer a territory belonging to the United Kingdom. The new Republic of Ireland was not recognized internationally by The Socialist Federative Soviet Republic. The Republic of Aireacht (ministry) sent a delegation under Ceann Comhairle Seán T. O’Kelly for Peace Conference of Paris 1919But was not admitted.
After fighting bitterly in War of Independence and, after being dominated in July 1921, representatives of the British government and Irish delegates to the Treaty, led by Arthur Griffith, Robert Barton and Michael Collins, Negotiated the Anglo-Irish TreatyIn London11 October to 6 December 1921. The Irish delegates set up a headquarters in Hans PlaceIn Knightsbridge, And there met in private until at 11:15 am on December 5, took the decision to recommend the Treaty to Dáil Éireann. According to the Treaty, the British agreed to the creation of an independent Irish state, through which the Irish Free State had the status of the field. According to the Second Dáil Éireann, the Treaty was narrowly ratified.
The Treaty was not entirely satisfactory to both sides. It gave more concessions to the Irish than the British had intended to give, but not far enough to satisfy republican aspirations. The new Irish Free State, in theory, covers the entire island, subject to the condition that the six counties of the northeast, called “Northern Ireland”Which was created in 1920, could opt out and choose to remain part of the United Kingdom, which they did. The other eight six p.m. counties (originally”Southern Ireland”Under the Act) became the Irish Free StateA constitutional monarchy on which the British monarch reigned (from 1927 with the title King of Ireland). He had a Governor GeneralA Bicameral ParliamentAn office called “Executive Council”And a prime minister named Chief Executive.
