CHH713 The Partition of Ireland: The Right Decision or the Wrong One?
£74.00
Most of us will know something about the reasons for the push for the partition of Ireland. We know how horrific life was like at that time – the war of independence, the civil war and the chaos in the north. This will be your chance to decide if Michael Collins and Arthur Griffith and Edward Carson and James Craig were the right people for the job – perhaps they were not. We will study the events leading up to, and beyond, partition and discuss the consequences. Was it the right decision or the wrong one?
