Reflecting this, the challenge of securing recognition of Ireland’s distinct nationality in international relations would be defined not by an attempt to fight the British army but rather by an attempt to mobilise international opinion in favour of an Irish demand for the complete evacuation of British armed forces on the grounds that British rule in Ireland had no democratic legitimacy. Ireland’s republican moment had now arrived.
