The Irish Troops

The Irish Troops, also known as the Irish Brigade, were a group of soldiers from Ireland who fought in the French army during the 18th and 19th centuries. They were known for their bravery and were highly respected by their French comrades. Eamon de Valera was an Irish revolutionary and politician who served as Ireland's President from 1959 to 1973. He was also a key figure in the Easter Rising of 1916 and played a significant role in the Irish War of Independence.

During World War II, Irish troops fought on the Allies' side, despite Ireland's official policy of neutrality. The Irish Brigade, comprised of soldiers from Northern and the Republic of Ireland, fought in North Africa and Italy. He was born in New York City to Irish parents in 1882, but he moved to Ireland as a child and became a prominent figure in Irish politics. He was known for his charisma and his ability to support among the Irish people.

After the end of World War II, many Irish troops returned home to find that their country was still divided. The troubles, a period of sectarian violence in Northern Ireland, began in the later 1960s and continued for a decade. Eamon de Valera played a crucial role in attempts to bring peace until Good Friday agreement was signed in 1998.
