The Study Of 1912 Home Rule Bill Of Ireland

Since the Great Famine in Ireland,the Irish people's pursuit of independence and nationalism has continued to rise.Under the influence of nationalist sentiments,the Irish people's comprehensive armed struggle and parliamentary struggles seek to achieve Irish autonomy within the scope of the British Empire.For the Britain,the traditional means of repression and appeasement have not been able to adequately solve the Irish problem.Therefore,a group of people of insight,represented by the Liberals,began to try to appease their dissatisfaction by establishing autonomy in Ireland,and ultimately achieve long-term stability in Ireland.Since 1886,the British Liberal Party has twice proposed the Irish Home Rule Act in Parliament,but they were rejected by the House of Lords under the opposition of the Conservative Party.By 1912,the once-ruling Liberal Party's Asquith government had removed the veto power of the House of Lords through parliamentary reforms,thus clearing the way for the new Home Rule bill to pass through parliament.Although the bill was successfully passed by the majority in the House of Commons,it was subjected to the increasingly fierce resistance of the Protestant-backed Northern Irish Protestants inside and outside the parliament.Eventually,Asquith had to use the pretext of World War I to set aside the process of the bill.During the First World War,the issue of Irish home rule was still difficult to resolve.The accumulation of conflict between Ireland and Northern Ireland,Ireland and the United Kingdom eventually led to the victory of the New Finns in Ireland after the end of World War I and the outbreak of the British-Irish war.The failure of the autonomy bill in 1912 led directly to the Irish being forced to use war to gain freedom.In the long run,the failure to implement the self-government bill has also worsened the ethnic relationship between Britain and Ireland and laid the groundwork for the future issue of Northern Ireland.
