This course, Irish Lives in War and Revolution: Exploring Ireland's History 1912-1923, provides an exploration of how people experience war and revolution. It examines how political change, violence, and total war affect life in its most basic ways, by looking at Ireland between 1912 and 1923. It goes beyond the familiar names and famous faces to explore how the events that shaped the modern Ireland - the Great War, the Easter Rising, the Irish War of Independence, and the Civil War - were experienced by the people who lived through them. No prior knowledge or expertise is required, only a basic interest in Irish and modern European history and a curiosity about how conflict shapes civil society. No software or tools are necessary. To learn more about what to expect from this course, readers can refer to Ciarán Wallace’s post for the FutureLearn blog: “Do you know what’s going to happen tomorrow?” Join this course to consider these and other questions.
