The 1916–1921 Club was founded in the 1940s. The motivation for the Club was to heal the divisions created by the Irish Civil War. Protagonists from both sides were invited to join. The Association of the Old Dublin Brigade, Óglaigh na hÉireann was also open to the surviving members of the War of Independence. The Club incorporated the Association in the early 1980s as their membership declined.〔O'Mahony, Sean. ''Death in the Castle: Three murders in Dublin Castle 1920''. Publisher: 1916/1921 Club.〕 Membership of the Club is open to all Irish citizens who subscribe to the objectives and accept the documents upon which it bases its charter. ==Objectives== *To honour and remember the dead who fought for Irish Freedom and all those who worked its achievement. *To cultivate in our time the spirit of Nationality and Unity that marked the 1916-1921 periods. *To contribute to the cause of an Ireland — united, independent and sovereign. *To work for the reconciliation of all Irish people in the context of a united nation, in the belief that it is only such a united people who can effect a lasting and real peace with the British. *To promote Irish traditions and cultures.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「1916–1921 Club」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
