The Catalan leadership are backing off from a U.D.I.   now that their bluff has been called. The big financial groups want stability and are pulling out. Hundreds of thousands of Catalan have gone on the street demanding to stay with Spain. The Pro independence crowd will be happy with that as they now have an excuse to pull back and let the chip on their shoulder get bigger. Similar to the six counties which had the lowest level of military activity during the War of Independence and allowed the south to bear the brunt of the Black and Tans. Then spent the next 50 years whinging
Sure the war of independence was basically Cork and Tipp versus the UK.

That's not true at all Kerry Limerick Waterford Clare Dublin Roscommon all did their bit. Even the Offaly lads were well able to get stuck in
But a study of the list of engagements with the enemy shows that there was minimal activity in the North. This allowed the British to concentrate their forces in Dublin and the south. The Northern lads mightnt like being told that but the figures speak for themselves

Independence declaration on hold.

Fudge by Puigdemont. He who hesitates has lost. His Communist minority coalition partners supposedly not impressed.

Typical unbalanced view by Ruth Dudleys sole brother
Over the British occupation which lasted 800 odd years the province of Ulster offered the most resistance

your from the pale yourself so I'll forgive you as you don't seem that well read on any subject ireland related
The war of independence didn't start in 1916

Until the GOI act came into being late 1920, there just one version of a 9 county planted ulster and anybody who knows anything about the WOI knows that guerilla warfare started in/with earnest, Monaghan feb 1920, providing the template for successful attacks on RIC barracks countrywide.

Compare the activity in the 26 counties against the number of engagements in the six counties. It is all on record. Monaghan did fine but the activity in big centres of population like Belfast and Derry was minimal compared to Dublin Waterford Cork Limerick etc.

Bottled it again
Saw the way the wind was blowing with hundreds of thousands on the street against him and financial institutions leaving to maintain their place in the E.U.
Good idea after four or five bottles of red but then reality hit home like the Scottish.

500 people died in Belfast from 1920 to 1922
260 of those where catholic civilians some at the hands of the RIC

Be very hard to be active in the 6 Cos when anything up to 80% of the locals were supporting the "Security forces ".
In Roscommon the least active areas were adjacent to the well garrisoned towns of Athlone and Boyle.
But in fairness Cork and Tipp were savage.
