#OnThisDay 1919 Seán T. Ó Ceallaigh & Charles Gavan Duffy presented ‘Ireland’s Case For Independence’ to Georges Clemenceau at the Paris Peace Conference. Their request for freedom of small nations was denied as the French & US were British allies during the war. Knowing that there would be no external international help, the Irish had to ramp up their war efforts to gain independence by force.

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.
