#OnThisDay 1848 The Young Irelander Revolt broke out. Lead by William Smith O’Brien, T. F. Meagher & others, the rebels surrounded the RIC in a widow’s house for several hours but dispersed when RIC reinforcements arrived.
The leaders (pictured below in Kilmainham Gaol) were deported to Tasmania.

Hi,
I'm David, I'm from Ireland. I am an avid fan of history. I have my B.A. in History, my M.A. in Military History and Strategic Studies,a Post Qualification Diploma in History and I've been teaching History for five years now.
I wanted to create a podcast that examines, in great detail, major Irish battles and battles allover the world in various wars that Irish people played a significant part in.
Hope you enjoy.
