Been there - done that Keith, and you've been given the documented and attributed information - where's yours?
No historians, no links - thanks for the confirmation.

"The IRB decided to stage an armed insurrection and collude with the enemy"
This sums up your smeary campaign against the Irish people.
The Rebels did not "collude with the enemy" - if they did - how did they.
Did they spread German propaganda ?
No they did not.
Did they allow Germany to use Ireland as a backdoor to Britain?
No they did not.
Did they in any way attempt to further the ggerman cause in Ireland?
No they did not.
They thanked Germany for the guns - nothing more.
This smear was used against those who opposed British rule on several occasions, notbly in 1918.
In May 1918 the newly arrived viceroy, Lord French, announced the existence of a 'German Plot'. Police arrested seventy-three prominent Sinn Féiners. Knowing that it would only strengthen their cause, Sinn Fein activists still at large made no attempt to avoid arrest. In fact not a shred of solid evidence had been presented to show that Irish nationalists were conspiring with Imperial Germany."
The attempts at smear ended in disaster.

The Rebels made their position on the War quite clear "We serve neither King nor Kaiser, but Ireland'
The fact that you continue to use this as you have done other smears is fairly evident of your total inability to produce facts to back your opinions, which is why you never link us to anything.
If the Rebels supported Germany then the wartime British government during WW2 were all Stalinists.
I used to have a family photograph of me as a child at a victory street party in Liverpool, taken next to a propaganda poster blessing "good old Uncle Joe" for helping defeat Fascism.
You pair really need to clean up your various acts.
