To put it simply, Britain were thriving, hoping Ireland didn't hate them after how much they 'helped' during the Famine. Ireland hated them. A lot.
Now that we've gotten rid of that pesky Potato Famine situation, we can focus on bigger things.
Let's hope our inconsiderate behaviour does not anger Ireland!
And so, the Home Rule Bill was established, created by the Irish ministers. All they needed was the British to sign it and pass the act! But then, something interrupted a happy ending for the Irish people. Something big.
Please sir, let us be an independent country, we need to control our trade so another famine like this doesn't happen again!
This is bad...
Sure thing...let's create a agreement...the name Home Rule Bill would fit the situation wouldn't it?
Many Irishmen gave up their lives fighting on behalf for the British, a war they didn't choose to fight. The years passed, and it was now 1918. The Germans were now encircled, being pushed back trench after trench. Finally, after a devastating trench charge led by the Allies, the Germans were defeated, losses in the millions.
That something was an event called World War One in 1914. Deaths began to rise once more, making the Famine look like chicken feed in comparison. This giant conflict was a great reason the British would not need to sign the Home Rule Bill, and continue to use Ireland for Britain's own personal gain.
