Om avsnittet

Join Tim McGarry and Dr. Cormac Moore on The Irish History Boys as they explorewhat British policy looked like towards Ireland between 1912 and 1921, including home rule.


This episode focuses specifically on the chequered careers and legacies of two consecutive British Prime Ministers: Herbert Henry Asquith and David Lloyd George.


They discuss Lloyd George's secret double-dealing with unionists and nationalists, the backfiring 1918 Conscription Crisis, and the passage of the 1920 Government of Ireland Act, which formally partitioned the six Ulster counties.
