10. The Irish Civil War (1922-1923)
The Irish Civil War (1922-1923) was a conflict between pro-Treaty forces, supporting the Anglo-Irish Treaty, and anti-Treaty factions opposing it. The pro-Treaty forces, led by Michael Collins, received substantial support from the British government, including artillery and armored cars. This external assistance complicated Irish perceptions of British interference, as the conflict was fought between Irish factions with British involvement. The war resulted in significant casualties and deepened divisions within Irish society (Britannica).
