Is it true that prior to the Easter Rising there simply was no desire for liberation of Ireland?
The Irish Parliament had a massive majority and were pro-british and pro-empire and there was no attitude for rebellion.
Then after a bout of Terrorism which was swiftly cracked down on, suddenly they rebel?
Is there any sound argument that justifies the Irish War for Independence?

I'm not a bongboo or an éireboo, just seems like a weird widely accepted idea that the Irish wanted to rebel when facts suggest they didnt, and that Collins just took advantage of troubled times for an agenda of the minority.

Yes, the executions of the ringleaders changed the population mood

Ireland basically fought an on and off war for 300 years for their independence
