If Terribus's statements are to be taken seriously he needs to address every poing thet has been put up which, I believe, proves the contrary.
The treaty was accepted but not ratiied because of the war - there was every reason to believe that it never would be given the opposition to any form of Home Rule in the British Parliament - Tories still continued to attack it after it had been passed and The House of Lords had to be over-ruled.
When it was re-presented in July it had been radically altered, making partition permanent rather than being ended one year after the war ended.
Britain only surrendered sovereignty afre a bloody War of Independence and even then, a treaty had to be forced through by a threat of War.
That Treaty was the cause of a year-long bloody Civil War and the repercussions of the enforced partition are still being felt
That'll do for a start
