The Irish Revolution began Easter 1916. On Monday morning April 24, about 1,200 members of the Irish Volunteers and Irish Citizen Army mustered in several downtown Dublin locations. Several key buildings were occupied, but the volunteers were poorly organized. Attempts at recruiting reinforcements failed. By week’s end, when the rebels surrendered, at least 485 were dead: 260 civilians, 126 British soldiers, 82 Irish rebels, and 17 police. Another 2,600 were wounded, including 2,200 civilians and rebels, 370 British soldiers, and 29 policemen. The Revolution continued for six more years, until the Irish Free State was established December 6, 1922.
