The German Club NYC. August 24th, 1914 - Just 2 years before the rising. World War I rages on and German Officials are looking for allies. So enter the Irish Nationalists, who have requested a diplomatic meeting. Their request is simple, all they want is assistance in defeating the British and the German Officials can see only victory in helping the rebellion flourish in Ireland.

I love this channel i have been watching this channel for a long time and it has great content. You learn so much by watching this
Do Shahnama , the epic poem on Persian Kings in Extra Mythology.
Thanks so much Xtra Histoty
Just a tip,irish place names are odd. Howth is actually pronounced as 'Hoe-th' brilliant content though guys!
Ok!!!!!! I’m going to need a link to Matt’s story!!!!!!!!! You said DINO RIDERS!!!!!!!!!!! You have now fully won my heart and I NEED to read this!!!!!!!! PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!
Tip for every revolutionary: Keep an eye on the most exalted members and their smaller factions. They usually ruins everything by being too cocky and eager to "do something now".
I mean more unity amongst your own fucking leaders type thing. if they had fully committed one way or the other they could have had a better shot, not saying they could have won, but the countermand fucked them horrifically.
I mean sometimes but also you get things like the Russian revolution where the hasty “do it now” faction somehow succeeds
Follow up tip, successful revolutionaries purge their allies after coming to power if they aren't needed to keep power. If you don't, you'll be dead, someone else will be in power in a 6 months, and your ideals will be even more in ruins.
@@parkerthompson5819 The October Revolution was a very different situation, not only did the Bolsheviks have a massive military advantage in Petrograd but they had also very successfully cut the Provisional Government's ability to communicate with supporters outside the city. And even if Kerensky had been able to communicate it is doubtful that he could have rallied enough troops to defeat the Bolsheviks. The bulk of the army officers that were willing to fight the Bolsheviks hated the Provisional Government almost as much as they did the 'Reds' and the collapse of the army meant that a lot of officers were not willing to fight to begin with.
@@parkerthompson5819 The Bolsheviks's first attempt, during the July Days, actually failed pretty miserably and left the Bolshevik leadership in tatters. They only regained the ascendancy after the attempted military coup by general Lavr Kornilov in August. The provisional government, panicking about the army marching their way, released captured Bolshevik leaders and gave them enough guns for a small army. The Bolsheviks then defused the coup attempt by infiltrating Kornilov's army and convincing most of it to desert, while keeping the guns.
Their own, successful coup was the result of careful planning and waiting for the right moment to strike.
Part of me wonders if they are going to do the War of Irish Independence and then the Irish Civil War.
The Irish civil war was the end of the revolution and the beginning of the counter revolution
the troubles too
That would be amazing
@@thewafflehouse841 that’s sounds deadly
@@userthomash I’d love that
PLEASE do one in the Spanish civil war. From both a political and historical perspective, it’s practically a goldmine of content
Wish you mentioned that connolly was a trade union leader and the majority of the ICA were members of the transport union .and was basically the soul of the uprising. Underneath their banner. WE SERVE NEITHER KING NOR KAISER BUT IRELAND. his works inspired and still inspire many republicans and socialists in modern day Ireland
Socialists around the world from Lenin to today as well
surprised they didnt even drop a mention of the 1913 lockout.
@@connla aye that's what led to the formation of the ICA or as lenin called them. Europe's first red army
Yes the focus on the IRB has perplexed me since the ICA did most of the fighting.
@@TadeuszCantwell the ICA was like 10% of the troops in the rising?
Wish there was more of a focus on the Irish Citizen Army. More than just socialist revolutionaries, they were trained trade union volunteers from the Irish Transport and General Workers' Union, which was established in Dublin in 1909 for the defense of workers' demonstrations from the Dublin Metropolitan Police. And Conolly was the leader of such union. Didn't even mention the 1913 lockout which the trade union was involved in and was the most severe and significant industrial dispute in Irish history
Thank you Kim jong-un
Roger Casement deserves a series to himself, he had such an interesting life.
If nothing else, profile Casement and the Congo. It wouldn’t be a happy series, but it would be an important one.
They also need to cover Éamon de Valera
The podcast "Cool People Who Did Cool Stuff" recently did a 2 part on Roger Casement, check that out.
All the names they've mentioned do! Especially the Countess.
Really glad to see this sadly a lot of people in northern Ireland never get taught this history so thanks to spreading the word
With NI being part of the British Empire, I wonder why....conflict of interest.
American here. All I knew before this series, was basically just what was in the "Michael Collins" movie >_>
@@Game_Hero
I’m a history teacher and in my state and the neighboring state’s governments almost got sued by Britain for adding the famine to our history curriculum.
@@MCKevin289 Geez. When did it happen? Something tell me that the English empire (or "Great Britain" as it like to call its empire) hasn't fully moved past its imperialist phase, with the attitudes about history comin with it.
@@Game_Hero calling it an English empire only serves the revisionist notion that Scotland was an innocent bystander and allows them to wash their hands of their involvement. They don't deserve to be let off when they made up such a relatively large part of the military and colonial system
Guess I’d like to mention
Thomas Francis Meagher
Was a leader in the 1848 Irish rebellion escaped British prison in Australia and went to become a hero in the American civil war and the governor of Montana
Extra credits I’d love to see y’all do a bit on that
Not to mention the last chance gold rush and the corruption of the copper kings
These would so cool to see them do!
Awesome series so far! Love that we are getting more light shone on our short history as a republic. For future reference btw, Howth is pronounced as Hoe-th, rather then How-th
Forgive us Americans. We tend to butcher pronunciations like that.
In addition, I cringed a bit when they used the anglicised version of Padraig Pearse's first name, ESPECIALLY considering the context of the video
@@killerlork your nit-picking at this point man
"No pipe did hum
No battle drum did sound its loud tattoo
But the Angelus Bells o'er the Liffey swells
Rang out in the foggy dew"
I hope you’ll one day make a series on the Mexican revolution too- with the Irish rebellion one of the most confusing historical conflicts for me 😅
The Americans on paper supported one side, in reality they couldn't stop the Irish Americans supporting different sides and factions and used it keep diplomacy and support open
It just hit me that the destroyers used in this video are modern ones and not ww1 era destroyers
I know I saw that😢
Tfw you’re so good at sailing you arrive too early
Imagine trying to look like a neutral Norwegian ship so hard you use a map in a language you don't speak, really going hard on it.
I just can't wait until you get to part with the lads from Cork.
“So meet the boys from Kerry/And meet the boys from Clare…”
And so begins the "Poet's Rebellion!"
Man, I did a whole presentation about the Rising a year ago, and I agree, it was very confusing with all the factions. Loved the video, would really have loved using it whilst working on the presentation.
This was quite a good video. It's interesting learning about all the different factions and people that were part of the Easter Rising.
To think how different history could've played out had things gone slightly differently. What if that ship with weapons and ammunition had arrived on time?
There had been *massive* gun-running into Northern Ireland well before this AND the British Soldiers in the Curragh mutinied/resigned rather than oppose that faction.
To be fair what did Casement expect when going to those Irishmen that were loyal enough to serve in the British army?
Back then Ireland had a lot of poverty, both in city slums and in the countryside. For many people life was fairly bleak. Young men joined up either because they needed the money or it was their only option for adventure and "to see the world". The officer class would have had more of the "loyal" types.
NYC may not be a perfect city, but it sure is rich in history and has influenced so many. Even the fight for Cuban and Puerto Rican independence from Spain has roots in the city. Both the Cuban and Puerto Rican flags were actually designed in the city! The Cuban flag was designed over dinner in 1849 by revolutionaries Narciso López and Miguel Teurbe Tolón (both of them would end up dying in the hands of the Spanish). Inspired by the Cuban flag hanging on a wall, the Puerto Ricans designed their own flag like it in 1892.
To recognize NYC's important role in the independence of Cuba, Cuba gifted the city with an equestrian statue of José Martí designed by sculptor Anna Hyatt Huntington that was cast in 1959 and dedicated in 1965, located in the southern end of Central Park. To this day, the city and its metro area still has thriving Cuban and Puerto Rican communities.
Britain: “Stop invading Canada, bruh.”
US: “wait we’re invading Canada?”
Fenian Brotherhood: “yes you definitely are.”
The plan was to nab particular cities and hold them.
thanks for doing this series, my great grandfather fought in the Rising, he was captured and held in prison, the nuns would sneak them in food, but when the British found out they shot the nuns.
Damn. I'm sorry. The nuns do everything possible to help out and what do they get? A big F you. That's just wrong!😡
Nuns were never shot...
This would have been widely publicised if there was even a chance of it being true. Look at the backlash from these terrorists being executed.
Sums up exactly why the Rising was justified in the first place
Do Shahnama , the epic poem on Persian Kings in Extra Mythology.
They did a small part of it, the story of king Zahak, a long time ago. I would love to see them cover Rostam, though.
6:41 Why did you guys use the Sheffield Class Guided Missile Destroyer and not an era accurate L or M Class?
"Why isn't this pop history cartoon slavishly devoted to historical minutiae?"
@@SonofSethoitae on the one hand, it's a relatively minor detail that doesn't affect the story.
On the other hand, like a lot of the artistic choices on this channel, it's weird that someone went to the effort to look up and accurately draw a specific type of something that isn't accurate to the time period.
In this case, they haven't just drawn a generic warship. They've drawn a specific modern destroyer (with radar domes etc) that wouldn't be in use until much later.
@@iapetusmccool I mean, I'd rather they spent the time checking the pronunciation of Howth if it were a choice between one or the other
@@MiseFreisin pronunciation has never been their strong suit. I still have trouble watching any series about the Medieval era Middle East because of how they pronounce Acre.
I'm not sure if you noticed or not but you have this video in your "So You Haven't Read" playlist instead of your "Extra History" one.
Hope you do more Irish history like the 1798 rebellion and the 9 years war
Best thing to wake up too!
Amazing work as always! I am English, but I have always had so much respect for the Irish revolutionaries of this era. To face such odds, and so much terrible oppression, and yet succeed through sheer cunning and bravery is so admirable to me.
They were terrorists, and they only succeeded because the british stopped fighting because the global view was against them.
@@godlovesyou1995 By definition? Yes, they committed acts of terrorism, but it was ultimately in service to the liberation of their nation, no? What recourse did our government leave the Irish people? From what I have read, our policy towards them was often cruel and inhumane. I believe they were ultimately on the right side of history in that conflict.
Lol never been this early just got back from Saturday school and see this thanks extra credits for lightening my day
You know it’s gonna be a good day when Extra Credits Uploads
PANR has tuned in.
This was amazing
Just one thing to note, the elected leader of the irb was called Pàdraig (pawd-rig) Pearse rather than Patrick pearse. I think Patrick could be an English translation but he is known as pàdraig pearse rather than Patrick pearse here in Ireland. Still good video though it's very informative
so true
Yes, however its hard for non irish people to pronounce names As Gaeilge, ive heard some crazy attempts to pronounce, at least he didnt call him Pad-rag.
I'm 99% sure his birth name was Patrick, but he went by Pádraig (fada's the other way around) on account of him being an Irish nationalist. He had an English father, and his grandfather on his mother's side was named Patrick.
He always referred to himself in his writings as P.H. or Patrick Pearse and writing in Irish he used Pádraig Mac Piarais. The hybrid half Irish, half English version of Pádraig Pearse only entered use after his death.
Patrick is used with Pearse. Dont mix and match
Amazing
5:54 Wrong hat, that is a WW2 one.
The pronunciation of Irish names here is generally great, good job
Yes, but "Howth" (the previous gun running location) rhymes with "growth" rather than with "South".
The line about trying to invade Canada made me do some reading into this. My Canadian History classes never covered this.
“When The Irish Invaded Canada: The Incredible True Story Of The Civil War Veterans Who Fought For Ireland's Freedom” by Christopher Klein was a great read on the topic.
So, was _Kingsman_ 3 partially right with its ludicrous plot? XD
Glory oh, glory oh, to the bold fenian men
Hey extra I just want to say that your intro is just as beautiful as it always is. I love the book physics.
Connolly! He was almost Ireland’s Lenin
Lenin wrote to him and more or less said so, yes.
In March 2016 I was in Dublin so the celebrations for the centenary were in full swing; obviously no one told us the full story 😅
Neither did this brief video
Yay new vid
I think you guys should do the ulster plantations because when it comes to Irish history you guys are some of the best
Hey I’m early! Can’t wait for this series to continue!
Will you be featuring The O’Rahilly?
It’s Padraig pearse!!!!
"have the war over by Christmas" yeaahhhhh about that
The most famous lie ever promised by leaders lol
hang on, did they specify which Christmas?
@@MiseFreisin I can guess Christmas 1914 or 1915
quite a tale this turned out to be
Finally someone on CZcams mentions the Fenian Raids (what us Canadians call those invasions by Irish Nationalists), if only in passing. Love your work EC!
um, what were three 1980's vintage type 42 destroyers doing of the coast of ireland in 1916?
This is my fav chanel, Keep up the good work.
I like this series so far because it probably has to do with Ireland extra credits is a good history channel along with another but your still good (by the way I haven’t commented on your last 2 videos
Small nitpick, the rifle model your artist is using is a Russian Mosin Nagant 1891. One of which has a PU Telescopic Sight that wouldn't exist for at least another 20 years. Im not sure if the Germans issued captured Russian rifles as military aid but I highly doubt it. Great video though!
Also those Destroyers seem to have radar... Yeah.
Looks like Zoey Messed up again... im sure they clear things up in the Lies Video...
2:51 Was that a vis-a-vis sneaky Matrix reference?
wow
Interestingly enough there's some wonderful Historical/Military Fiction around the IRA in the Liam Devlin books - by author Jack Higgins one of which became a movie - The Eagle Has Landed
When I'm not busy I'm so checking out this video.
DINO-RIDERS! Matt you better have that world available for public view!
Extra Credits crew, thank you for all you do. Your videos are often the highlights of my day!
My guess before watching video is that the screen is about Casement and the Aud.
So “Aud” was an alias?
I was taught that Patrick Pearse was a teacher - he set up a Irish language school for boys before the rising took place, and was not a barrister.
Am i dreaming?? Two extra history videos on the same day?!?!
Jope sorry guys, I thought the vid from 5 days ago was posted today
Wait wat? No way!
A second one! Now I gotta heck that out too
Wait why did I do this in the first place oh
Please do India independence (day 2)
5:47 you showed Fenit, the gun running was meant to happen in Ardfert.
Think "Kerry Island" was a misspoke lol. The island you show in the art is Fenit Island(and ofc Fenit Port) in County Kerry.
On a very very very pedantic/local note the second part of the harbour was only added in the 90s and until then the Viaduct and Harbour just formed an L shape. Still though, very cool to see somewhere I know irl represented.
Kerry, Ireland not Kerry Island lol
@@cshaffrey3438 he definitely said "island" though, and there's no reason to specify what country Kerry is in in this context
7:02 and then they break into the sewers to try to kidnap Pilate's wife...
It's 3 years since I didn't se one of your videos.
Keeps getting better
Wait, what's this about American born Irish Nationalists? If it's not scripted yet, please tell us more about this in the afterward!!!
Irish who has to flee Ireland to the America's wanted an Ireland free from British rule/control.
Some people like to question whether American-born half-Spanish de Valera was “really” Irish.
@@Praisethesunson not all of them. Most just were escaping poverty
@@Praisethesunson I am not asking about that. that is not 'American born".
Where can I find the sources for this video? I’m really interested
At the end of each series they do a lies episode where they mention their sources in the description
@@maarchalk2840 ahh alright, tysm
I really hope Padriag Pearse's (I dont know if it was his preference or just a general Irish education thing, but I almost never see anyone call him Patrick Pearse) part is fleshed out a hell of a lot more in #3, it's weird to get this far talking about 1916 and not talk about him more and how central his beliefs were to the events as a whole.
Yeah, he would not have mixed the two languages himself. It would have been either Patrick Pearse or Pádraig Mac Piarais. Interestingly it was the English form he used on the Proclamation. Pádraig Pearse seems to be a relatively recent thing.
Toka was here
The Irish famine and the brutal deeds of the British to Ireland keep going to the back of my mind throughout this series, but the over-eagerness of the British to resist keeps reminding me how bad things really were.
The Irish potato famine was created by morons within the whole country , it wasn't some evil deed perpetrated by the government to call its own citizens. Also, Ireland was so oppressed and brutally cracked down apon that most of the Irish in the British army didn't want to join.
Howth is pronounced like "Coat" or Hoat
Patrick Pearse also believed in achieving independence from the blood of martyrs if I remember my year 11 history correctly.
Perfectly correct, as PHP said in his oration at the graveside of O'Donavan Rossa Aug 1915 - "The fools, the fools, the fools, they have left us our fenian dead and while Ireland holds these graves Ireland unfree shell never be at peace". What a great orator the man was.
It is nice to be reminded that despite all the troubles with Ireland that have been going on since before England was England, is not universal in the country. That 1940 Irish soldiers would prefer to stay in PoW camps than pull a rebellion is the softer side of history between the two.
I’m used to ads on CZcams but about a third of these videos are ad reads.
why was their a honk at 2:26?
Roger Casement was reported by some "Good Catholics" along the coast.
I wonder if they regretted snitching when the soldiers came.
Easter revolution was necessary for Irish independence
I remember my Aunt telling me that she use to bartend for a Irish-American nationalists bar in Chicago that would send their profits to the Irish republic army and one day she had a bad feeling and she quit and a couple days later they got raided by the FBI.
The PIRA would never have gained the traction that it did if Paisley's goons hadn't gone full Kristallnacht on the civil rights movement in the 1960s.
No pipe did hum
No battle drum did sound its loud tattoo
But the Angelus Bells o'er the Liffey swells
Rang out in the foggy dew
6:21 - Howth, pronounced "Hoe"-th, not "How"-th. Yes, I know...
/extremely jokingly
_Um, actually it's pronounced Binn Éadair!_
What do you guys think of the movie "The Wind That Shakes the Barley?" I like it a lot though I don't know how close or far it is from actual history. Also Cillian Murphy is great.
Totally precise.
A series on the Congo Free State could feature Casement’s report.
And what DID Pearse say to Connolly?
Called him an idiot.
You know the czechoslovak legion has a similar but different tale.
@4:38
It's genuinely amazing how often socialism and nationalism go hand in hand.
The core values are often similar. The practicalities can just differ
"nationalism" in this case is the nationalism of oppressed nations, rather than just reactionary nationalism.
The Fenian Brotherhood even got John Holland to build them a submarine (back in 1881) which they then stole from Holland over payment issues. That submarine still exists.
“The Fenian Ram”
It's sad to think that, due to the conflict in Ireland, those Irishmen who fought bravely in the trenches of WW1 and survived were penalised by their own countrymen for fighting alongside British soldiers. Imagine surviving 4 years of hell only to be disgraced by your own people upon returning home
The vid does point out that Connolly had been British soldier; it does not explain that the Irish Volunteers were set up in response to the anarchic gun-running of the Ulster Volunteers (3M rounds). This after the House of Commons voted to bring in a Dublin Parliament...The IV were advised by politicians to go to war for 'the freedom of small Nations' and as you suggest some fought bravely in trenches, others in streets

"Cordial but unreadable"
I mean his name is weird but definitely not 'unreadable'
hello
During the planning for the rising their was an IRB member named Blumer Hobson and he was heavily aginst the rising as it did not have the support of the irish people, and that was what the IRB advocated as a result of the last failed rising. First he was excluded from the military council so he knew nothing and then had to be kidnapped and held before the rising,till it got underway. Thats why he's sometimes called the most famous rebel no ones ever heard of.
The SS Libau was run under the Norwegian name The Aud
Bulmer, not Blumer
