Exactly one hundred years ago today, at 12 o'clock in the afternoon a truce between British forces and the Irish Republican Army came into effect. This truce effectively ended the Irish War of Independence, though know one knew that for sure at the time. In this episode we look at how the truce talks began and how the Irish population reacted to the prospect of a summer free of violence. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
