After watching a mini series about the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Easter_Rising my question is, were the British defeated militarily by the IRA in the succeeding https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irish_War_of_Independence or was it a voluntary British withdrawal? Either way it was a the beginning of the end for the empire.
