Detailed explanation-1: -After the surrender, the country remained under martial law. About 3, 500 people were taken prisoner by the British and 1, 800 of them were sent to internment camps or prisons in Britain. Most of the leaders of the Rising were executed following courts-martial.
Detailed explanation-2: -24 April 1916: The Rising begins on Easter Monday. Padraig Pearse reads the proclamation of the Irish Republic outside the General Post Office, the rebels’ headquarters. 24–29 April: Around 2500 republicans occupy strategic positions around Dublin and engage in battle with 20, 000 British soldiers.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Rising’s 15 leaders were swiftly executed by the British for their actions. Their shocking deaths turned the tide of public opinion-everywhere in Ireland, except parts of its north-towards supporting full, legal independence from Britain.
Detailed explanation-4: -Yeats was reported as being “overwhelmed by the news… [and] had no idea that a public event could move him so deeply” (Alldritt 252). Something that could explain this reaction is the fact that one of the leaders of this uprising was Maud Gonne’s estranged husband, John Macbride.
