Yes that's right everyone, it's another of my Irish themed threads. Since I've arrived on AH.com, one of my main intrests has been the history of my Motherland, hence I've attempted threads on Brian Boru and an Irish empire, and a different take on the Northern Irish troubles. Both ended due to laziness and lack of writting skill. I've thrown myself pell mell into threads about 1798 rising, and about the Irish Question that very nearly turned Eire into a Dominion loyal to the Crown. Often these end with me getting bored or too lazy to carry on, and occasionaly offending loyalists and other Britons, though this is rare.
For my next installment of this great series that no one asked for, I am discussing an event that goes far beyond the British Isles, even beyond Europe. I am discussing PODs and threads that can be created by the actions of the
Wild Geese and their descendents, the Irish Brigades.
For those who have little idea about what I'm talking about, I suggest you follow this link.
The Honourable Society of the Irish Brigade. It gives a rather detailed history of the topic I'm looking at, as well as some extra imformation for those intrested in similar topics. However it contains some minor grammatical and spelling errors that I'm trying to fix, not to mention a few historical claims that I question. The issue of historical bias is also there, though I think it can be overlooked in most accounts.
Hopefully this thread will attract more commenters than usual. The topic, whilst having Irish roots, can effect events across the entire world very dramatically.
