Young Ireland Rebellion
The Young Irelander Rebellion was a failed Irish nationalist uprising led by the Young Ireland movement, part of the wider Revolutions of 1848 that affected most of Europe. It took place on 29 July 1848 at Farranrory, a small settlement about 4.3 km north-northeast of the village of Ballingarry, South Tipperary. After being chased by a force of Young Irelanders and their supporters, an Irish Constabulary unit took refuge in a house and held those inside as hostages. A several-hour gunfight followed, but the rebels fled after a large group of police reinforcements arrived. It is sometimes called the Famine Rebellion (since it took place during the Great Irish Famine), the Battle of Ballingarry or the Battle of Widow McCormack’s Cabbage Patch. Background As with the earlier United Irishmen, who sought to emulate the American Revolution, the Young Irelanders were inspired by Republicanism in America and in Europe. The year 1848 was a year of revolutions throughou ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
