Subject: RE: Easter Rising - April 24-29, 1916
If Ireland would have got Home Rule without Easter Week - why didn't they get it -

They would have. It was already agreed but there was the small matter of WW1 that had to be dealt with first.

FACT.
The Home Rule Act was already passed.
FACT.
Home Rule was assured
FACT.
The Rising had almost no popular support.


The Rising achieved nothing but thousands of unnecessary Irish deaths.

your 'fact' have been torn to shreds over and over again

If that is true, identify a single one.
My case is just that the rising was unnecessary because home rule was already assured, and the people did not support it.
