What is our fascination with the bloody side of things only?
Where is the celebration of Catholic Emancipation?
Where is the celebration of the achievements of the Land League?
Leaving aside opinions on 1916, why do we feel (Britain does this to an absurd degree) the need to celebrate war and conflict and we are inclined to ignore the other successes on the road to (in our case) independence.
By "in our case", I assume you mean in the case of just a part of the nation?
