Used by OCR
Paper 1
Revise: IrelandThe Home Rule crisis of 1912–1914 was a dispute over whether Ireland should have its own parliament while remaining within the United Kingdom. It exposed sharply differing attitudes both in Ireland and in Britain: some saw Irish self-government as a reasonable reform, while others regarded it as a threat to the Union.
Distinguish Home Rule within the United Kingdom from complete Irish independence.
Do not treat Britain or Ireland as having one shared opinion. Contrast Liberal support for Home Rule with Conservative and Unionist opposition.
Distinguish passing Home Rule into law from putting it into operation: the 1914 Act was passed, but its operation was suspended during the war.
