Part 2 - the Provisional Government launched an artillery bombardment on the Four Courts but the anti-treaty IRA refused to surrender. Now they must launch an infantry assault on the Four Courts - many of its buildings mined and full of explosives.

The Provisional Government, focused on writing a constitution, building a police force and national army, and creating a functioning government, was content to let Rory O'Connor and his 100+ rebels to hold the Four Courts. However, British pressure and the kidnapping of J. J. "Ginger" O'Connell force the Provisional Government's hand.
The Battle for Dublin is about to begin.

Michael Collins takes a novel approach to avoiding civil war: election rigging and writing a constitution that will undermine the Anglo-Irish Treaty.
The British Government prefers direct action against the anti-treaty IRA members who took the Four Courts and may have assassinated Field Marshall Wilson.
Which option do you think seems more likely to avoid civil war?

When the Anglo-Irish Treaty was ratified, England withdrew all of its forces from Ireland (except for a contingent in Dublin). This included members of the Royal Irish Constabulary. Now the Provisional Government needs to create a new police force from scratch in the midst of a civil war. The government makes necessary compromises, leading to a mutiny within the new police force!

At least I make myself laugh, right?
