1. irish republican army

   The Irish Republican Army (IRA) is a paramilitary organization that originated in Ireland in the early 20th century and sought to end British rule in Northern Ireland and reunite Ireland. The IRA is known for its armed campaign of bombings and assassinations, but it has also been involved in politics, notably through its political wing, Sinn Féin. There have been several different organizations known as the IRA throughout history, as the initial group has splintered and evolved over time. The most well-known iteration, the Provisional IRA, emerged in 1969 during a period of intense civil rights clashes known as The Troubles. In recent years, the IRA has officially claimed to have ceased armed operations.

1. Irish Republican Army

   The Irish Republican Army was an Irish republican revolutionary military organisation. It was descended from the Irish Volunteers, an organization established on 25 November 1913 that staged the Easter Rising in April 1916. In 1919, the Irish Republic that had been proclaimed during the Easter Rising was formally established by an elected assembly, and the Irish Volunteers were recognised by Dáil Éireann as its legitimate army. Thereafter, the IRA waged a guerrilla campaign against British rule in Ireland in the 1919–21 Irish War of Independence. Following the signing in 1921 of the Anglo-Irish Treaty, which ended the War of Independence, a split occurred within the IRA. Members who supported the treaty formed the nucleus of the Irish National Army founded by IRA leader Michael Collins. However, much of the IRA was opposed to the treaty. The anti-treaty IRA fought a civil war with their former comrades in 1922–23, with the intention of creating a fully independent all-Ireland republic. Having lost the civil war, this group remained in existence, with the intention of overthrowing both the Irish Free State and Northern Ireland and achieving the Irish Republic proclaimed in 1916.
