Discuss the Irish and Hungarian revolutionary movements which followed World War I.
What will be an ideal response?
Answers will vary. The League of Nations wanted to prevent any outbreak of revolutions and even participated in the reapportionment of territory in Europe in the effort to avoid further conflict. However, there were several subsequent local revolutionary movements after 1918, including in Ireland and Hungary. The Easter Uprising in Ireland had been brutally suppressed by the British, but this only fueled the desire for a free state for Ireland after 1919. The creation of the Irish Free State emerged victorious after a civil war in Ireland from 1919 to 1921 and created a split between northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland that exists to this day. A Bolshevik uprising in Hungary temporarily installed a communist government under the leadership of Béla Kun, but the Great Powers allowed Slovak and Romanian forces to invade the country and exact territories in compensation for their so-called help. Kun's revolution, unlike the Irish Revolution, was short-lived.
