🇮🇪 💣 🇬🇧 The IRA’s Fight Against Great Britain: A Struggle That Nearly Brought an Empire to Its Knees The Irish Republican Army (IRA) waged a decades-long campaign against British rule, employing a combination of guerrilla warfare, intelligence operations, and political strategy. Their actions challenged one of the world’s most powerful empires, bringing the British government to the negotiating table multiple times. Through tactics such as ambushes, bombings, and strategic assassinations, the IRA aimed to destabilize British control and push for Irish independence. Their ability to operate within urban environments, maintain secrecy, and gather support among the Irish population made them a formidable force.
