Ireland Never Splits

Backstory
In the OT, “Easter Rising” was an armed rebellion from Irish republicans to attempt to end British rule in Ireland while they were busy with World War 1. This rebellion was deemed unsuccessful, and lead to sixteen of the Rising’s leaders being executed. In this timeline, the “Easter Rising” or “Easter Rebellion” was a successful rebellion from Irish Republican Brotherhood (IRB), a resistance force. Though the uprising was deemed successful, the revolt was still lost. In the AT, Britain responded to the “Easter Rising” by executing all IRB leaders and constituted a martial law. The successful takeaway from the “Easter Rising” was the inspiration throughout the rest of the country. The IRB was seen as martyrs by the Irish population. In OT, many of the Irish were angry and disappointed with the actions of the IRB because they were on track to come to terms with the United Kingdom for partial self-rule, meaning that Ireland would have its own leaders that would answer directly to Britain. In the AT, the rebellion inspired many lobbyists in Northern Ireland because of it gave them glimpses of what could happen if they were under Britain’s control. A mass amount of Ireland was appalled by the response of Britain and was brought together under a united sentiment.

In the AT, Ireland’s parliament proposed a Home Rule bill for all of Ireland, which was endorsed, unlike in the OT that the bill voting excluded six counties in Ulster. In the AT, the bill passed because the voters of Ireland, especially Northern Ireland, were disgusted with the behavior of the United Kingdom and had wanted to be no part of the UK. Because of the AT, Ireland never had a split government, all of Ireland industrialized instead of just certain parts of it. This would lead to Ireland still not mainly being agriculturally influenced to this day. This revolt lead to Ireland never having a civil war. Since the war didn’t happen, Britain failed at reclaiming Ireland by attempting to send in World War I veterans, which were known as “Black and Tans”.

Brief Ripples
Ireland never had a split government, Black and Tans did not have rule and power through Ireland, Ireland could industrialize much earlier in the AT. The earlier industrialization of Ireland in the AT lead to not as many Irish immigrants throughout the world.

 * Early 1921: continued skirmishes between Ireland and the “Black and Tans” that lead to many casualties.
 * December 6, 1921: All of Ireland is declared a free state and peace between Ireland and Britain. Britain felt pressured to agree to this because their imperialism was coming to an end, and the mindset behind controlling other companies was not appealing anymore.
