Assignment task: For this assignment, watch the documentary below. Ireland was England's first colony and the first to start the process of decolonization.

Please describe the process of the Irish Revolution and its fallout, including attempts by the English to stop it. Write a summary and offer your personal reaction as well. Make connections to attempts by other people today to liberate themselves from colonial oppression.
