Not dissimilar to Brexit and arguments over the backstop, the Home Rule Crisis was one of the biggest political nightmares of its day. In fact, it could very well have led to a British Civil War if World War 1 hadn't interrupted. Talk about out of the frying pan and into the fire.
In this episode we look at the mess that was the Home Rule Crisis, the influence of World War 1, and how it all led to the 1916 Rising.
