Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Truth About Home Rule The misfortunes of Ireland are a commonplace of history. During the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries the country was devastated by rebellions, insurrections, and religious persecution, while her industrial activities were strangled by the short-sighted jealousy of English commercial interests. After the Union in 1800 the restoration of Irish prosperity was to some extent retarded by a combination of political blunders and the genesis of a period of violent and criminal agitation following on the terrible misery caused by the potato famine. This is the aspect that those who only know Ireland through the voice of the agitator love to dwell upon. But the dawn of the twentieth century witnessed the effects of the deliberate policy of the regeneration of Ireland, begun by the Unionist party in the eighties and carried out in the face of persistent obstruction.
