Today is the centenary of the signing of the Anglo-Irish Treaty. Among other things, this established an autonomous Irish state on the Ireland of Ireland, which was rather important. Want to know more? Here's a thread with a few things to explore...#Treaty21 1/ 
Need an overview of the Treaty negotiations themselves and the issues at stake, here is a short piece I did on that very subject for @CenturyIRL: rte.ie/centuryireland… #Treaty21 2/
For a deep dive into the text of the Treaty itself, try this bonus episode of #Brexit Republic with myself and @colmomongain, with ducks in the background: rte.ie/news/brexit/20… #Treaty21 3/
To explore how the Treaty came about in the words of the Irish negotiators themselves, the archival record as published by @DIFP_RIA is freely available right here:

And for another overview, try this @HistIreHedge Hedge School on the Treaty and its consequences with myself, Brian Hanley, @mcculld and @MaryMcAuliffe4 audioboom.com/posts/7989872-… #Treaty21 5/
And, last but not least, from tomorrow you can explore the new @NARIreland exhibition on the Treaty in @dublincastleopw. Having been involved in its creation from the @RIAdawson @DIFP_RIA end I reckon its a must see 😉: nationalarchives.ie/2021commemorat… #Treaty21 END.
