Agriculture, Conflict and Rebellion in Early Twentieth Century Ireland
Date: 11-12th June 2016
Venue:
National Museum of Ireland—Country Life, Turlough Park, Castlebar, Co. Mayo
Overview
The focus of the conference is Ireland of 100 years ago with particular reference to agriculture and the rural economy, i.e. the main economy of the time. The developments of those times will be considered within a wide context, including the effects of the various reforms in land ownership in the late nineteenth century, and the impact of World War I and the 1916 rebellion on rural economies, especially in Ireland, in the early twentieth century.
