My word, that doesn't actually answer the question though does it.

We have discussed often enough WW1 and we will never agree on the details so can we move back to the Rising of 1916 and your statement that said:

"But the thing that really does amaze me is that the clowns who set all this in motion back in 1916 claiming that if their "Provisional Government" stood for a week, then they would have a place at the Peace talks and Peace Treaty negotiations at the end of the war, obviously didn't realise that in describing the Germans as their "Gallant Allies in Europe" their Irish delegation would have been sitting on the wrong side of the table at those peace talks and treaty negotiations - they like Germany would be having terms dictated to them"

I asked if anyone knew in 1916 the outcome of the war.
