Note that there were some British positions within the city not pictured for clarity.
The Irish Thermopylae has quite the ring to it, doesn't it? This battles, the battle of mount street bridge, was the bloodiest battle of the Easter rising in 1916. This failed Irish rebellion during the first world war, and was an Irish attempt at gaining independence.
While the city of Dublin entered open rebellion, over 15,000 British soldiers, mostly raw recruits, closed upon the city. Once there, they surrounded the city and began attempts to divide it. The battle of mount street was part of the encirclement and due to incompetent leadership ended up becoming a slaughter.

Information is derived from a number of historical sources including websites, historians, and literature. The fog of history is a real thing, even relatively recent events often have sources in disagreement or relying on one another. When possible information is derived from first-hand sources and where not possible information is found by taking multiple second-hand sources. It is not possible for anyone to guarantee perfect historical accuracy, but I do my absolute best to ensure that all information in my videos is well sourced and backed up by historical sources and evidence.
