World War I
Redmond supported the war to secure Home Rule, but the Military Service Act (1918) threatened conscription in Ireland. This anger boosted Sinn Féin and helped set the stage for the Easter Rising.
Global suffrage movement
Women gained the vote in many countries after WWI, and Ireland followed this trend in 1918. International pressure and changing attitudes helped Irish women win political rights.
Economic depression
The Great Depression hurt Irish agriculture and exports. It pushed de Valera toward protectionism and shaped Free State economic policy in the 1930s.
Rise of fascism
European fascism influenced Eoin O’Duffy and the Blueshirts, showing how global political trends affected Irish politics.
