They believed that with Britain focused on the European war, a rebellion in Ireland might have a greater chance of success. Several nationalist organizations began preparing an armed uprising.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Among the most important were:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>the <strong>Irish Volunteers<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>the <strong>Irish Citizen Army<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Paradoxically, while the rebellion was being planned, tens of thousands of Irish soldiers were fighting in the British Army on the Western Front during World War I, especially in France and Belgium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Preparations for the Rising<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Germany, which was at war with the United Kingdom, attempted to support the Irish uprising.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A ship called <strong>SS Libau<\/strong>, disguised as a Norwegian merchant vessel, carried weapons intended for the Irish rebels..<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the ship was intercepted by the British navy before it could deliver the arms<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Rising Almost Canceled the Day Before<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The uprising nearly did not happen.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the leaders of the movement, <strong>Eoin MacNeill<\/strong>, commander of the Irish Volunteers, discovered shortly before the planned start that the original plan lacked sufficient military support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fearing disaster, he published a <strong>countermand in the newspapers on Sunday, April 23, 1916<\/strong>, ordering the volunteers not to participate in any military action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This decision caused enormous confusion among the insurgents and drastically reduced the number of fighters who ultimately took part.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many historians believe this was one of the factors that prevented the uprising from spreading across the entire country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Beginning of the Rising<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The rebellion had originally been planned for all of Ireland.
