Publisher's Synopsis
This resource has been developed to fully address A2 2 Option 4: 'Partition of Ireland 1900-25' of the CCEA specification.
Dr Rees guides the students through this formative period, covering the role and actions of unionists, nationalists and the British government. The book takes a chronological approach, working through the crisis over the third Home Rule Bill, the impact of the First World War and Easter Rising, and the Anglo-Irish War. Following partition in 1921, the book concludes with a study of the Irish Civil War and the first few years of the establishment of the Northern Ireland state.
Students of A2 History will find this an invaluable resource by a well-known author of Irish history.
