Primarily political and nationalistic, it also had a sectarian dimension. Undeniably it was fuelled by historical events, and yet most only look so far back as the 1916 uprising. In Ireland's Troubles, Robert Stedall argues that we need to take a longer historical view to truly understand the complex factors at play in Ireland's history that ultimately led to the Troubles. Comprehensive in its approach, it ranges from Plantagenet intervention among the warring Gaelic chieftains, to Cromwell's restoration of British rule following the English Civil War and William Pitt's resignation over the Irish Catholic's Emancipation question.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInextricably linked with the history of Britain, Stedall guides the reader through Ireland's turbulent but rich history. To understand the causes behind the twentieth-century conflict, which continues to resonate today, we must look to the long arc of history in order to truly understand the historical roots of a nation's conflict.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Readers Paradise Book Shop Wexford","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48830080450907,"sku":"","price":18.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0538\/7105\/0923\/files\/9_6dd1272c-e9ce-4bf1-a482-d1c8d5df3f02.jpg?v=1723545139","url":"https:\/\/readersparadise.ie\/products\/the-roots-of-irelands-troubles","provider":"ReadersParadise","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
