#OnThisDay The 1798 Rebellion began with attacks on mail coaches organised by the United Irishmen. It aimed to establish an independent, sovereign, Irish republic. The authorities knew of the planned rebellion and had arrested hundreds of the UI leadership including Lord Edward Fitzgerald. Wolfe Tone, the new leader wanted, ‘to unite Catholic, Protestant & Dissenter under the common name of Irishman’.

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.
