Ireland - 1916 Easter Rising

After the rising did the British offer Ireland Home Rule and did they reject it?
no, they had a crack down.

Simply put, the pesky northerners were the ones opposed to Home Rule. As far as I'm aware, the majority of Irish people wanted Home Rule.

home rule was offered but after the outbreak of ww1 and the commitment given to the british army by soldiers from the north of ireland, it was swiftly withdrawn :frown:

It wasn't withdrawn, but simply postponed through the Suspensory Act in 1914...which promised to give Ireland Home Rule after the war.
Northern Ireland saw this as a breach of political truce...
Of course the bill wasn't actually passed because of the Easter Rising..

Why was it the Irish saw the postponement of Home Rule until after the war to be a breach of political truce?

Being that the 36th Ulster Division was mostly unionist... What percentage of the Northern Irish in 36th Ulster were protestants as opposed to Catholics that killed at The Somme?
