The British Empire is collapsing, burning, and on its deathbed. Their control over their subjects began to wane, and the advent of the United States, perhaps, could be the march of the British Empire's true testament of control over its colonies. And then, what about Scotland? Wales? Cornwall? or Ireland? Those lands were the constituent of the Great Britain, and Ireland was a land of fighters and warriors. Land of those who cried for freedom infinitely, for years. Decades. Ages. They would not be put down. They wont surrender. They refuses to back down. They refused to bend to the Protestant overlords on London. They does not want to speak English. English is the language of the opressors, in their mind. And in their mind, their spirit would not be vanquished until any single Brit left Ireland. Some believed for constitutional nationalism, and some, wanted to bring blood to the flag of the people. And by so, the spirit of Easter is eventually painted by blood. Their decision to launch the insurrection in Easter, perhaps, is something that might changed the things for the best, for the worst, and for the unknown. They dont know what is truly awaiting for them, yet, they knew, that this fight for freedom is what everyone will remember, from Dublin, to the world.

IRISHMEN AND IRISHWOMEN:
In the name of God and of the dead generations from which she receives her old tradition of nationhood, Ireland, through us, summons her children to her flag and strikes for her freedom.


The Easter Rising rages. The Easter Rising rages. The Easter Rising began to shed their swords, rifles, all aimed towards the British authority. Shots. Shots, and shots, and the first gain that the Irish Republicans gained was the city hall. Their sights are eventually put upon the Dublin Castle, and Connolly knew, that capturing the Dublin Castle could speak otherwise for the so-called "Great" Britain. He knew that by capturing the castle, it could easily spark a much popular revolt on Ireland, and by so, they began to move towards the castle, as it was lightly guarded, prompting Connolly to brought a bigger crowd to the castle. And by noon, they are moving into the castle, shooting anything that is not Irish in their eyes. Just within hours, Dublin Castle falls(POD). The Union Jack is eventually replaced by the temporary flag of the Irish Republic. The people of Ireland have taken the heart of the British Empire at Ireland, and by so, the Irish rebellion turned into the worse for the British Empire. It is true, that this is just the start of something far more worse than what it was supposed to be at first, but Sean Connolly's actions, perhaps, could usher Ireland, Great Britain, and eventually the world into a much, twisted era.

The main POD is rather simple. Dublin Castle falls, and what's next? What will happen after the fall of the Dublin Palace? What changes that Ireland could do to the world? What about Australia and beyond? Or even will India affected by this?
