Although Parnell was subsequently re-elected as leader of the Irish Parliamentary Party IPP , Gladstone made it clear that he would not support Home Rule in the future unless Parnell resigned from this position. A further meeting of the IPP was held at which the party split into an anti-Parnell faction and a pro-Parnell faction, with the anti-Parnell grouping the larger of the two.
Although he succeeded in winning a majority for the measure in the House of Commons it was overwhelmingly defeated in the House of Lords. George Wyndham, then chief secretary for Ireland, guided through parliament further legislation reforming the land system.

In essence this provided further encouragement for Irish tenants to buy out their landlords. Initially SF called for a new constitutional arrangement between Britain and Ireland based on the concept of a dual monarchy along the lines of that recently agreed between Austria and Hungary. Due to internal policy differences the Conservative government in Britain collapsed and was replaced by a minority Liberal administration.

Matters were brought to a head by the refusal of the House of Lords to pass measures contained in the budget. In the end the IPP opted to support the Liberals in the expectation that such a decision would result in a commitment to press ahead with Irish Home Rule.
Bloody Sunday, ballot boxes and the death of Terence MacSweeney: Ireland's dramatic year of 1920
Edward Carson, a renowned barrister, accepted the leadership of the Irish Unionist Parliamentary Party. Such a prospect held out the promise that any future Home Rule Bill for Ireland would ultimately become law. Under the leadership of Edward Carson, unionist opinion in Ireland launched a renewed attempt to thwart the introduction of the Home Rule Bill. However unlike previous campaigns greater emphasis was placed on mobilising support in the province of Ulster, where Protestants made up the majority of the population. A prime example of this came on 28 September 'Ulster Day' with the signing of the Solemn League and Covenant by men, and the signing of a parallel Declaration by women.

In total the Covenant was signed by , men, and the Declaration by , women, and in so doing they pledged to resist any attempt to introduce Home Rule. In a further step the Ulster Unionist Council agreed to take the necessary steps to establish a Provisional Government for Ulster, under the leadership of Carson, in the advent of the British government passing legislation granting Home Rule for Ireland. It failed however to become law as the House of Lords exercised its remaining rights under the Parliament Act to vote against the Bill and to temporarily delay it from becoming law.
In Dublin in November supporters of Home Rule decided to form their own militia, the Irish Volunteers, in order to arm themselves in defence of their political goals. The arms were part of the preparation to resist Home Rule by force. In response the Irish Volunteers, on a smaller scale, attempted their own importation of arms and ammunition from Germany to back their demands that Home Rule be introduced. British soldiers sent to seize the weapons succeeded in confiscating a small quantity. Later however on their return to barracks they became involved in an incident in Dublin with protestors, in which three people were killed and some thirty people injured.
Bloody Sunday 1916
The Home Rule Bill passed through the House of Commons for the third time but once again it was delayed by opposition in the House of Lords. On 4 August Britain declared war on Germany.
In September the Home Rule Act was finally placed on the statute book. However the British government then announced that its introduction would be suspended for the duration of the War. His appeal led to a split in the Irish Volunteers: those who supported Redmond become known as the National Volunteers, whilst those who opposed any involvement in the war retained the name the Irish Volunteers. They immediately identified the Irish Volunteers, now firmly under the leadership of Eoin MacNeill, as a source of recruits for their cause. However when he became aware of the plan Eoin MacNeill placed a newspaper advertisement canceling all manouevres planned by the Irish Volunteers on Easter Sunday, 23 April.
In the wake of the rising the British government declared martial law and rushed army reinforcements to Dublin in order to tackle the insurrection. During the first two weeks of May the British government moved to execute the leaders of the rebellion. Meanwhile on the Western Front in France at the beginning of July the British army launched a new military offensive, which was referred to as the Battle of the Somme. Amongst those regiments who suffered huge numbers of casualties was the 36th Ulster Division , of which many had been recruited amongst the Protestant community in Ulster.
It was estimated that some 5, men were lost in the first few days of the Somme campaign. The willingness of John Redmond and the Irish Parliamentary Party IPP to accept this offer, with the apparent stipulation from the British side that any exclusion would be only temporary, was however to prove increasingly unpopular for the IPP in the months ahead.

He committed himself not to take his seat at Westminster. Lloyd George, then the British Prime Minister, called an Irish Convention in order to try to come up with a form of government acceptable for all shades of opinion in Ireland. The IPP agreed to participate but their political credibility was further damaged when the Convention failed to reach an agreement. Evidence of this came when Eamon de Valera, the only surviving senior leader of the rising, won the East Clare by-election. This arrangement was then formalised at a SF convention in October when delegates agreed to accept a motion whereby it would commit itself to securing recognition of Ireland as an independent Republic, whilst allowing the Irish people to decide on their own form of government through a referendum.
Many of the leading figures in SF, including de Valera were interned after the British authorities alleged that they have been involved in a plot with Germany. World War I came to an end on 11 November. In contrast the election was a triumph for SF as it emerged with seventy three parliamentary seats. Furthermore during the campaign SF had made it clear that none of its successful candidates would take their seats at Westminster. Although invitations had been sent to every representative elected to an Irish constituency, only Republican Deputies attended.
Of the 73 Republicans elected, 36 were being held in jails. By coincidence, also on 21 January two policemen were killed by members of the Irish Volunteers, acting on their own initiative, near Soloheadbeg, County Tipperary. The conflict quickly escalated as the Irish Volunteers, now reorganised as the Irish Republican Army IRA attempted to force the British authorities out of Ireland by means of armed resistance.
Once in Ireland these units engaged in counter-insurgency tactics. Their presence however failed to restore any sense of order or normality in Ireland. In Ulster the summer months brought an increase in tension which led to sectarian rioting in Belfast and Derry with scores killed and injured. They however open fire on the crowd and twelve people were killed.
