Irish War of Independence
Main article: Irish War of Independence

Following the failure of the Easter Rising, the Irish revolutionaries began to be suppressed by British authorities. But by 1918 conscription was introduced to the island in an attempt to gather more troops to fight on the Western Front. By late 1918 the Irish, in an act of rebellion, refused to stand in the British Parliament, instead opting to form their own legislature called the Dáil Éireann, with Cathal Brugha as its first president. Simultaneously a killing of Royal Irish Constabulary officers sparked the Irish War of Independence.
