Why do the Irish make such a big deal about their "war" of independence?
Over 3 years 1400 irish civilians and combatants were killed.
That's a tiny number!

Compare it to other post ww1 European wars and its pitiful. In Finland's civil war they lost 35,000 in 1 year despite having the same population as Ireland. It was brutal. Half of them were executed.
Likewise for the wars in the Baltic states.

Jesus if you compare homicide rates relative to population of American cities like Jackson, Birmingham, St Louise they all have higher homicide rate than Ireland during their "war" for independence.

It took 1.5 hours to kill 1500 soldiers in the battle of the Somme.

What really grinds my gears is when they compare themselves to Gaza. Gaza had a population of 2.2m people and within 3 years at least 75,000 has been killed. Most likely the real figure will be much higher. And the Irish have temerity and sheer brass fucking neck to proclaim "we went through something like that. We are brothers in suffering"

Never before have I seen a people like the Irish so intoxicated with their own mythos rooted in self-aggrandizement and self-pity.

Truly a pathetic people.

Irish apparently invaded canada from america one time and destroyed british regiment there.

>self-aggrandizement and self-pity.
Says the boring nigger making threads about something that barely anyone in Ireland ever talks about outside of commemorating one or two particular days in the year.

>W-why is it called a war?
You lost a cod war you stupid fuck.
>W-why did a purely guerilla war in rural areas not have high causalities?
You are an actual cretin.

The endless anglo-seethe over a tiny insignificant nation is hilarious. Makes sense from a nation of ugly kike slaves who think themselves great because they were and are the greatest goys for the rothschilds

No the "Fenian raids" are vastly overestimated in size and effect by contemporary "irish"-Americans. The biggest incursion was the Battle of Ridgeway in 1866 where a fenian group of 600 men killed 10 Canadians.

Once again the Irish propaganda machine was working overtime in embellishming their size and impact.

It wasn't a war. It was just a scrap.
Next thing you'll be telling me that it constitutes "genocide".
The melodrama of you people is astounding.

>>544030678
Because body count is the wrong metric. You can say you don't care about something because the numbers of casualties or murders were low but you wouldn't have the same reaction if that was someone you knew. Or someone from your country being killed.

By the same reasoning right, we can say that well only 132 people died in the Bataclan massacre or even less in the Charlie Hebdo shooting (12 killed, 11 injured). Such a low number! Who cares! Well, if you knew those victims or are French, you will care about such things.

Obviously I don't expect some Paki retard that thinks that internal conflicts or acts of terrorism are less important because there is less of a body count because it's not an actual war between two large militaries. I would 100% expect him to think that European conflicts are like some kind game of izzat where the side he claims to represent suffered more and so "his" side is higher up in the totem pole. And he only has ~76 IQ, he can't understand that something he's comparing different things, he's only matching "war" in the title. He has no connection with European people and any kind of higher principles, because he's a shitskin that doesn't even belong in Europe.

so living with niggers is more dangerous then living in an european country having a civil war ? got it

correct, if we check how most victim died then we find out it was due to IRA car bombing lol

>>544031384
Bataclan massacre and the charlie hbdo shootings weren't wars. The valid comparison is with wars contemporaneous with the Irish War of Independence, such as the Finnish Civil War and the wars in the Baltic states. These were actual wars.

I didn't read your last paragraph. I doubt pakis take any interest in these things. However there was a minor konflct in Kashmir circa 2001 resulting in 7,000 dead. I don't even think they refer to it as a war.

I don't even think you can refer to the Irish war of independence as a "small war"

You're British

>>544030678
they're mostly referring to the 1848 genocide when comparing suffering. most of the Irish went to America where they suffered the brunt of atrocities in the US civil war of which the Troubles were a continuation. they blame Britain for the cause of this accumulated suffering of the Irish people in Ireland. most Irish-Americans are mixed with Scots-Irish now so they don't contribute much to the discussion even though their country is where it happened.

We stand with the Irish.

>that was a long fucking time ago

before 2001 the Palestinians didn't really have much more to complain about either. it was a fairly balanced kvetching. now they have drifted apart where one side has gone full cuck and the other full durka, sometimes doing the cucking.

>Irish oppression from the English lasted 3 years in the early 20th century
Are you quite sure about this OP

>>544030678
Explain this big deal that’s made? Show us on the dolly where this big deal touched you.

Do you mean in movies or books? Is that not what’s done the world over? Is it coz you is British? Where you bullied by Irish for some perceived historical grievances? I wouldn’t worry seeing as how britiain is more demographically cucked than most other countries. Mohammed’s and jeets won’t care or have any connection to your peoples history.

Ireland is heading that way as well, soon all our lands will be nothing but Mohammad’s and jeets along with oonga boongas.

Seriously though, each nation has its historical stories given to its citizens, usually to promote ideas of patriotism to ensure there is a steady stock of troops for their masters armies. This is nothing new and it’s not an Irish thing, it’s a control thing.

the US finally got an Irish president, and he got his head blown off. this Troubles started a couple years after (and Vietnam war, maybe irrelevant or not). Britain sees this as not their problem and all unrelated to each other (though we do see the world as connected but in our own imperial eyesight) but somehow Ireland makes it their problem.

our state was founded due to a surrender. the irish government is an illegitimate body. the provos were right, im sorry ulsterfags. you were right and we were wrong

When yer queen kicked the bucket a royal envoy came to visit the Irish parliament to ensure aul sausage fingers holdings. I was close enough to hear the envoy ask if the busts in the chamber were all Freemasons. Our rising was a lie, ‘British’ control is a lie. Your masters are our masters. After 1916 it became necessary to change the rulers mask in Ireland from a British looking one to a more local Irish looking mask.

The masters never changed, only the mask changes.
