The '''Easter Rising''' was an [[Irish]] rebellion for independence from [[British]] control, which took place April 24 to 30, 1916 during [[World War I]].
The Irish insurgents captured key locations in [[Dublin]] and proclaimed an Irish Republic. The British suppressed this and [[execute]]d all of its leaders with the exception of [[Éamon de Valera]], who was a US citizen when [[Great Britain] wanted the US to enter [[World War I]], and [[Constance Markiewicz]], whose life was spared "on account of the prisoner's sex". The Easter Rising was led by [[Pádraig Pearse]] of the [[Irish Republican Brotherhood]] and the [[socialist]] [[James Connolly]] of the [[Irish Citizen Army]], who was executed by the British while tied to a chair in Kilmainham Gaol courtyard on May 12 1916. The other five leaders of the seven-member executive were [[Seán Mac Diarmada]], [[Tom Clarke]], [[Éamonn Ceannt]], [[Joseph Mary Plunkett]] and [[Thomas MacDonagh]]. Pearse surrendered on behalf of all insurgents in order to spare further loss of life, although he knew that he himself would be executed.
