English is still the main language spoken by most people, and the majority of people don't speak Irish very well. What I'm asking is how can Ireland revive the Irish language similar to the revival of Czech.

You could say the same things about Czech or Hebrew.

Historically, Ireland's policies for reviving the Irish language were ineffective and failed. How could Ireland post-1922 onwards revive the Irish language? Would a dictatorship under Ailtirí na hAiséirghe (fascists) or Saor Éire (communists) be more effective than a democracy? Also, if French...

Alternatively, for an actual Irish monarch, Eamon de Valera declares a Kingdom instead of a Republic and puts Leopoldo O'Donnell, 6th Duke of Tetuan, on the throne.

France might not be remembered as 'cheese eating surrender monkeys' in the popular history.

Have the world keep using CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) televisions rather than switching to newer television models such as LCD or plasma.

Kaiserreich: Legacy of the Weltkrieg comes to mind. But yeah, Ireland's best chance for a United Ireland is a Central Powers victory in WW1, as they would most likely be able to secure support from Germany and possibly Austria-Hungary. For a post-1955 POD, If WW3 happens and the Soviet Union...

It's too late by then. They can defeat the IRA in the War of Independence but British rule in Ireland will no longer be stable and eventually it's going to turn into the Troubles multiplied by five. For this you need a pre-1900 POD, most likely by preventing the Famine.

Depends, NI might not be great either, something tells me the likes of Basil Brooke aren't going to react well to 'Papists flooding loyal Protestant Ulster'.

What if Ireland had declared war on the UK in response to the 1974 Dublin-Monaghan bombings? What would be the international reaction to this?

The Irish independence movement was keen for independence for all of Ireland as well, but NI has managed to survive (even if it is rather unstable and an economic basket case..) so it's not totally impossible for a similar colonial enclave in Algeria to survive, it just depends on how willing...

What would have happened if Eamon de Valera had been executed after the 1916 Easter Rising? How would this affect the Irish War of Independence, and Irish politics afterwards? Would the Irish Civil War still have happened?

Parts of Armagh were under de-facto IRA control during the Troubles, although it was never officially declared unlike Free Derry in the 70s.

How would German society and culture be affected over the years if Germany had won WW1?

That didn't stop him allying with Bulgaria.

Not in name maybe, but in practice it certainly was.

Yes, I do.

The challenge is with a POD of 1914 to make the Men's Rights movement is more successful and popular than in OTL.
