Michael Collins was born in 1890 in West Cork, a farmer's son, and introduced to the quest for Irish sovereignty by his schoolmaster, a member of the Irish Republican Brotherhood, which Collins soon joined as well and in whose ranks he began to rise during his nine years as a London clerk (1905-14). Returning to Ireland, he participated in the unsuccessful 1916 "Easter Rising" and, in the barely six remaining years of his life, created the Irish Republican Army as an organized terrorist group with the single aim of ending British rule, and with a small assassination command directly answering to es/P/B00006FRBL.03.MZZZZZZZ.jpg Kauf Michael Collins bei Amazon.deoder Alphamusic Kauf Poster bei Close-up-posters.de,Posternow.de, Allposters.com oder Starkalender.de Kaufen und verkaufen bei ebay.de Ticketbuchung bei Getgo oder Ticketcenter.de Klingeltöne bei Klingelton.com, Jamba oder sms4you.net |  |
