Easter Rising: The Revolt That Paved The Way To Ireland's Independence | Terrible Beauty | Timeline
A Terrible Beauty is the story of the men and women of the Easter Rising in Dublin in 1916, Irish and British, caught up in a conflict many did not understand and of the innocent men and boys, executed because of what transpired in The Battle of Mount Street Bridge. The British soldiers were the last of the Great War volunteers, who joined up together to fight the Germans. They knew that there was a strong chance they would die in France, but to die in Dublin would never have crossed their minds.

Watching this documentary makes me proud to be an irishman..and im not even irish..
OMG, the use of Gaelic makes this seem so real !
The original black and white footage was recorded my my Grandfather, J Gordon Lewis. It resulted in a long cooperation with Michael Collins.
Very interesting. Thank you for sharing that. I'm fascinated by people's lives and their stories.
Thanks for the info
Wow..thank you for sharing that information with us. Having see a good part of this now, that black and white footage is fantastic!
Amazing how we focus on the footage but rarely think about the person recording the event.
Prove it.
This is an awarding document . So pleasing to hear my native language being utilized, I understood quite a bit .. even after last using it 56 years ago!
This is beautifully done. There is a great dignity in hearing the Irish language.

This is by far the best documentary/storytelling I've ever seen. the interviews with the actors while in character is brilliant. I'd love to see more stuff from whoever made this

Terrible documentary it’s based on Free State revisionist history. The Irish citizen army were formed, drilled and even booted up by Jack White from Antrim who along with Casement was the Protestant opposition to Carson in the north Jack White also drilled and trained the Irish volunteers. Despite being in almost every war and even fighting fascism in Spain he was deleted from the narrative by the partitionist free state. Even Thomas Clarke was a Tyrone man who became a Republican there in the IRB and Connolly lived in Belfast. These free state documentaries try to exclude anything northern as much as possible despite the whole thing being about what was happening there. The 1916 uprising was not some south only rebellion, this documentary even used a northerner as the most abusive in a British army uniform yet way more likely southerners were in British army uniforms during those battles. The documentary ended with “after Ireland won independence” what an utterly ridiculous thing to say about men who pinned up a 32 county proclamation and was lead by people who were from the 6 counties. Free state trash history. Ireland has not won independence the free state, 26 counties picked by an Englishmen is not Ireland or the Ireland they were fighting for and you well know it!!!
Love the Gaelic language being used and used well, some of translations aren't exactly correct into English because Irish has a whole different command of expressions in language.
May the leaders of this uprising guide all who struggle for democracy, especially the people of Myanmar
I really appreciate being able to read this. When I was in school our Irish history stopped before Easter 19 16 . It was too painful, recent & very divisive AND DeValara was running the country!
RIP brave brothers. You are not forgotten and the resistance is eternal.
And their deaths were not in vain. They eventually got their independence.

I'd imagine the potato famine would still be fresh in many minds, not 80 years prior. Who would want to be part of a crown that would not only NOT lift a finger, but export foods while so many died of starvation.
It never happened.
My grandfather fought in the Easter rebellion. He was fortunate to have escaped and afterwards he made his way to France 🇫🇷 and then to the United States 🇺🇸. When Ireland 🇮🇪 got its independence in 1922 he was offered a position in the government but turned it down. He married and raised a family and never returned. He seldom talked about what he witnessed during that time.
TRUE PATRIOT AND A REAL HERO !!!!!
What is his name?
Your Grandfather must been a great man! You must be proud. The men of 1916 were the greatest Gaels. An example to what a handful of dedicated men can achieve against overwhelming odds. Something Europeans might have to do in tbe6 future.
can’t say I blame him for never returning. Very Irish went back. There was nothing too go back for.. especially considering most of the land they lived on was owned by absent English landlords, who seldom if ever visited the land they supposedly owned.
@@Darkestdarkify James Fleming. His name is on a monument in county Cork. He changed his last name to Bleming when he arrived in this country.

Im 2nd generation in NYC, Irish. My Grandpa from Roscommon, and my Popop from Leitrim both came to America in 1920's. They were denied to work here in NYC.

If not for their bravery, skills from Farming and building, this US would not have the railroads. I am soo proud to be 2nd generation of Ireland, at 61 finding out so much I wished was available to all us young and older would have been priceless and still in my heart and soul; my absolute love and respect for where my Ancestors were born and raised.

See why the Irish celebrated 9/11.
I’m a proud KNIBB from Oxford , but I’m genetically Celt. My mother’s family were starved out of Laois at the time of the English engineered Irish potato ‘ famine ‘ and moved to the woollen mills of Yorkshire. Never been to Ireland, and would NEVER go to Belfast cos my dad was a ‘ Protestant ‘ as is my husband. But I studied WB Yeats for English Literature A level and his poem on the Easter Rising ‘ a terrible beauty is born’. There is of course the song ‘ Sunday Bloody Sunday ‘. as performed at Live Aid by U2. The ‘ English ‘ have persecuted Ireland for HUNDREDS of years, and it’s important to remember these VERY brave patriots like Michael Collins .

Why do you keep blaming England, the act of union 1707 between the Scottish and English thrones killed off English resistance. BBC Britisrh B Bbrainwashing corporation corporation
This episode was amazing…the images of the real soldiers and of Dublin before and during the attacks really take us there. Nothing worthwhile comes without a human price and all revolutions have a high price, such as Henry VIII and his break with the Vatican. Thinking of the French Revolution, the downfall of the Romanovs, came from mostly excesses of the ruling (often having a foreign queen etc) head of state. Ireland was undoubtedly due for its attempt at independence.
There not just from other country they part high lander Irish tribe of Ireland the some Irish left after the romens england to bring Jesus to others like the vikings and dublin was a viking port more often then not mm even before the viking event to england oh the Irish who left strat to come back this about the English Government they treated every other country under there control like that's y Canada thro a Irish catholic man called darcy McGee who is the founding father of the government of Canada so r tax's and stuff would not go to england but I get it in some part it was more about religion then anything even Russia was a part of the be guns to IRA don't know what year off hand

Your right. Though I thunk the Romanovs would have been a successful monarcy had N2 not been so easily influenced by his wife and hi need to keep his sons illness a secret. He was too selfish in his rule instead if listening to others.
The failed Easter Rising was a mistake.
Well presented
Not a bad edited version on the history of the uprisings. Watched a lot worse. Our reliance on these edited versions is fast becoming the norm in life but hopefully people will still remember it's a library where the true knowledge is found.
Well people in general, especially laymen, tend to see history as a narrative, whereas the truth is a bunch of events just happening, with a majority undecipherable cosmic link existing between them, the same as our current reality is occuring for us... now and the past are identically infinitely complex slices of space, except separated by time. Even for our current now when something happens, we narrative-ize it as "news". We all understand how problematic news is, and we wouldn't trust a news article about some event happening as FACT unless it's really top level independent investigative journalism, and even then, there will be several interpretations of what's presented that differ in fundamental ways. Historians jobs, I guess in a way, is to take news from the past and create narrative links between the event elements on the timeline. A core component of narrative itself (the glue holding the story together, if you will) are these links; thus, in order to differentiate between truthful or corrupting effects of narratives placed into/onto histories, it is imperative to understand broqdly and specifically how these links are discovered, applied, and understood. For example, applying, however, the variables of cause and effect and correlation etc. to any given set of events and extrapolating out of that, if any, relationships which seem to emerge. This is a critical task that even if done with the utmost research and care is dangerous: it is essentially applying the best guess of a subjective hindsight explanation to a moment in time that has an objective in-the-now hidden truth. It's a paradox of time of sorts, because the very act of The most serious and objective histories will strive to minimize narrative, and on the other end of the pendulum, increase narrative. Narrative introduction is inverse to complexity... the low end having no narrative at all (for example granary stock level statistics over the period of one year at a single Roman army barracks), is as much "HISTORY" in any meaningful sense of the word as a blockbuster "based on a true story" war movie is. This video production which we're now commenting on, "Terrible Beauty: Full Series" is an uncommon, interesting, uncommonly interesting, etc. confluence of the related but distinct historical drama and documentary genres; and so, while true that it's more entertaining than a documentary and has more educational value than a standard historical drama, it is, also, at the same time, neither as educational as a documentary nor as entertaining as a historical drama (per aforementioned inverse principle). Now, to *actually address your points/observations* made in your comment (finally!): you are, well... on point with your observations! Despite how you after "reign-in" the negativity which you imply about this genre, that criticism is indeed reasonable and warranted; however (surprise!), likewise is justifiable your later expressed reservation of that negative criticism! Unfortunately I believe that the way in which this Series, and other historical media content of this fashion (increasingly popular according to you), takes these sub-genre's and interweaves them into a particularly devilish outcome, where it mixes the fictional drama with the documentary footage, and it's impossible to tell what's real, what's dramatized, what's completely made up, even down to the interviews. Tl;Dr: (Too long;Didn't read:) I'm not saying it was a *bad* experience, but it wasn't my cup of tea...
Thanks!

Love history and this age in which we are alive to see dramas of history! Thank you Jesus!!! Amen and Amen. 💜🙏🏽

The irony is the rich aristocratic types who caused all this had poor English people aka the soldiers fighting against the poor Irish people.he poor fighting and killing the poor, whilst the rich elites sat at the top quaffing wine, champagne eating like kings & laughing.
Some things never change.
Its always us poor that fight and die when rich men wage war.
people just have to leave other people alone. trying to control other people is one way to start conflict
My great grandfather fought and died for King and Country in the Easter uprising. His death is overshadowed by the martyrs of world war one and the victory of revolution (and rightly so) from the Irish.
Wouldn’t it have been King and country at this point?
@@midwestnet2704 what you mean the English monarchy that are anything but English. A mainly German family, which is exactly why they had too change their surname in the event of WW1 from Sax Coberg too Windsor.

@@Darkestdarkify yes it was King at that point..
Yes King George V, the same King George V who gave the royal assent to Oder 256 (Appendix II) in 1916 that allowed 79 of the rebels to be given the death sentence. The vary same King George V who also introduced all the British Empire medals (CBE, OBE, MBE etc) = "For God and The Empire".

I highly doubt that all the officers spoke Gaelic to each other... is there any reference for that?
It's not even concluded yet. I can't help but wonder if there will ever be a militant spark in the popular sense someday. I wonder if the implications of Brexit will spawn anything akin to such.
All Ireland is preparing for the inevitable vote on reunification. Sinn Fein won't rest until it's done. Sadly it's too late for Gerry Adams to become Taoiseach but I believe Mary Lou MacDonald will. BTW, Mountbatten got what he deserved.
let’s hope that never happens because if there’s one thing most people in Ireland especially the north never want too return is the troubles. The violence, the killings, the bombings, nobody wants too return too that awful situation..

Hi the newsst video isn't allowed to be played here in Canada.. it says the uploader didn't make it available 🤗🤗
Because Canada is a national socialist state thinly veiled with a veneer of socialism. Churchill (btw not a big friend of the Irish, but smart nonetheless)- “the next fascists won’t call themselves fascists”
In America we call our fascists Democrats. But they have the f$&king nerve to call us the fascists- the people who want more freedom, less taxes, more national security and safer borders, less scrutinization, the 2nd amendment not infringed upon and unconditional, free speech (I don’t care what kind of speech btw, because who gets to pick and choose), less government, less crime, maybe follow that thing we call the constitution… should I go on?

You call it the "Potato famine", i called it by its correct title Genocide. The "Potato Famine" was a story that was created by the English and Anglo-Irish media, politicians and landowners to mask their thinly veiled intentions and to save them from their responsibility, shame and crimes. From Articles II of the 1948 Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of Genocide, defines genocide as: "Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life, calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part" The large famine and there were many small famines before this and all kinds of diseases, deaths and suffering. Are only the after effects of the Genocidal policies of the English government which were to remove the Irish from their lands and introduce the penal laws to keep them off the land. Back then, no land meant starvation and death, land was really the only source of wealth. It would have been too expensive for them to physically murder all the Irish with guns and swords. The method they used brought about great ROI for them. Ireland was the bread basket for England. Irish people were surplus to requirements. There is actually far too much focus on the after affect, the famine and no focus on the cause. Just taking the famine in isolation, the English did not create the blight. However when the blight occurred they allowed the near full natural effects of the blight to take its toll on the population, since they created and physically enforced the conditions for the Famine to exist. It was their full responsibility to alleviate the affects caused by their genocidal policies. Failure to do so showed to the world in a short period their large scale Genocide. Something they were ashamed about publicly of course and put out propaganda to wash their hands of it but privately they were happy about it. It was good for their situation. Per my other post, Ireland's population would be 20+ million now if it were not for the Genocidal policies and actions of the English. I have proven that by comparing the statistics of Ireland populations decline and growth with that of the rest of Western Europe throughout hundreds of years since English Occupation. That is something all School kids should be thought before we speak of the Famine. Also why nobody speaks Irish now, what happened there. Why Ireland was the poorest nation in Europe for hundreds of years and the aftereffects of that in Irish society now. None of this is thought in Government Schools. Its much more valuable and relevant information then the ins and outs of the 1840's famine.
*British government. The Welsh and Scottish can't wash their hands of it either, but let's not forget it was the government and aristocracy, not the common people
TRUE WORDS!!!!!!!!
a scottish king started the ulster plantations
don't forget it was the English who gave you the potato in the first place, and originally saved the irish from famine.
My ancestor baring my surname fled Ireland during the famine. Married an Irish girl in Wales. Later settling in Newcastle, working as a metal Roller. (Foundryman) He had 8 children. He has well over 1000 decendents all over Tyneside, other parts England, some in Ireland, Australia, Canada and the USA. Im one of them. Im a Gael.

Liz Bizland she legal secretary born 1921 to 2016 she Age 95. She Liberal party British government.
The one thing that hurts the most about this is that it legitimised armed action which you could maybe justify then but increasingly took on a shadow of it's own. A part of me wishes they would accommodate themselves to the United Kingdom with concessions of course.
When the peaceful force of argument falls on deaf ears, the only road to true understanding is the argument of force! How can you expect the Irish people to “accommodate” themselves within the UK when the UK government discriminated against the Irish people and withdrew some of their rights in April 1916, rights let me remind you that was still afforded to the people of England, Scotland and Wales. Are you are having a laugh?
@skippership7 What deaf ears too? The British already had Home Rule on the statute books. What rights are you on about exactly? You write April 1916 so what happened then?
@@johnnotrealname8168 Not true, the Government of Ireland Act (Home rule bill) was given the royal assent on 18th Sept 1914 however, later “that very same day” the Suspensory Act 1914 was given the royal assent immediately suspending 2 acts…The Government of Ireland Act and the Welsh Church Act. So these were no longer in force as you claim. As for the fundamental rights that the people of Ireland had with the rest of the UK which was also removed from Ireland…Have you never heard of Order 256? which was given the Royal Assent from Windsor Castle in April 1916. Tell me, what do you think that meant for the Irish people?
@skippership7 I never claimed they were in force, I claimed correctly that they were on the statute books. Please give me more information on that order please, I am unable to find anything online.
@@johnnotrealname8168 If it’s not a law that is in force then it can’t be on the statue books by definition. So, let me get this right…you are making comment on the Easter Rising but don’t know what Order 256 is?…are you joking with me? I’m not surprise you can’t just google it because you have to know what you are looking for in the first place, however, it’s contained with Appendix II on page 552. Now tell me what does it say right at the top of the page and directly under Appendix II and, what date was it issued in the name of the King? Now look at points 10, and b, (on pp 6-10) and tell me what were the special conditions that were attached to the order that were just absolutely unbelievable.

Sorry, I'm very slow, is this the easter we know today? Chocolate Easter? I'm gonna watch, I never knew... :(
Yes, it is. In 1916, Easter Sunday arrived on April 23rd & the rising started the day after on Easter Monday. Didn’t have much chocolate then however I’d imagine 😉
Lance vs pistol 🤔
the british highcommand was every bit as cruel and every bit as incompetend in Ireland as in France... so many poor young men died for nothing
Will the Gaels of Ireland in 2023/24 resist this second ongoing plantation of Ireland, like their great ancestors resisted the first one?
plus the British officer said 'myself and my good friend', instead of 'my good friend and I', no British officer would have misused the reflexive pronoun and made such a mistake in 1916...
Didn't end there. The killing didn't stop till sometime in the 90s I think. My folks immigrated to the USA shortly after I was born in the 70s. They didn't talk about it much. The voice inside my head is Irish with a bunch of Gaeilge of Munster mixed in as my native language. But I check "English" on forms and speak it with a Texan accent out of habit. Like the other children I played with at grade school to blend in and not be ackwardly different. It did leave me with a positive.... I like people and languages a lot. And very moderate in personal positions and not easily offended by most people. I think people should communicate more and be a little more proverbially thick skinned. It's both cheaper and easier to heal from than swapping discharged ammunition at each other.
I bet your parents still have a Irish accent though? That’s one thing about the Irish, Scots and Welsh they never lose their accent, where as the English do..
@@matty6848 I'd say yes. But the typical Irish person would say they sound American. They can switch back much faster than me.

Ireland deserved it’s independence. The British saw Dublin as the second city of the entire empire. The Brits thought the Irish Catholic majority felt like an integral part of the Empire. The biggest mistake for the British and the biggest breakthrough for the Republican movement was for the British authorities to hang the leaders of the 1916 Easter uprising. They made them martyrs and the Irish nation moved towards the total desire to be an independent state and eventually a republic!
Myth.
Just a minor skirmish to the British.

Me When I Learned About Irish History: 12:24
The Sherwood Foresters were only used as cannon fodder. If they had walked along 200 or so yards to baggot st bridge they wouldn’t have came under any fire. Typical attitude of their commanding officers. Keep going lads. Walk to certain death. Shocking. But well done to the volunteers for doing their duty for Ireland 🇮🇪✊
Sadly true but the fact is was CO was as green as they were. The same thing happened on the Somme 3 months later with the worst casualties in British military history 60,000 in a morning.
The real Irish where away defending their homeland while these criminals plotted their treacherous plans.
Who is the narrator?
Colm Meaney. (Miles O'Brien in Star Trek: The Next Generation) I'd recognise that soft Dublin accent anywhere.

One thought to remember. One man's traitor is another man's freedom fighter. What were the American Revolutionary soldiers considered when they were captured by the British? Traitors. What did the Americans think of them? Heroes. Perspective matters.
MEH!
And the British did no harm and brought only wealth and progress. Utterly disgusting and how brave the Irish were.
They brought wealth but they also brought a lot of trouble.
