Taistelu Irlannista jakoi saaren

Englannin ja myöhemmin Iso-Britannian läsnäolo Irlannissa alkoi jo normannien valloitusten myötä 1100-luvulla. Sitä seurasi lähes 800-vuotinen väkivaltainen taistelu saaresta. Englannin ja Iso-Britannian valta johti lopulta siihen, että gaelilainen eli kelttiläinen poliittinen järjestys tuhoutui, ja Irlanti joutui kokonaan Lontoon vallan alle. Askel askeleelta Irlannin katolilaiset joutuivat ikään kuin b-luokan kansalaisten asemaan. Tämän kehityksen tuloksena vain protestanteilla oli pääsy johtaviin tehtäviin saarella. Kitkaa ja väkivaltaa lisäsi se, että 1500- ja 1600-luvulla protestantteja siirrettiin Skotlannista ja Englannista Irlantiin ja 1600-luvun puolella varsinkin Irlannin pohjoisosaan. Irlannin pyrkimykset kohti enemmän tai vähemmän täydellistä itsenäisyyttä alkoivat voimistua 1800-luvun jälkipuoliskolla. Pohjoisen Irlannin eli Ulsterin protestantit kuitenkin vastustivat Dublinin ja katolisen Irlannin vallan alle jäämistä. 1900-luvun puolella Irlanti lopulta jakautui, kun pohjoisen kuusi kreivikuntaa irrottautuivat muusta Irlannista ja jäivät Iso-Britannian yhteyteen. Paitsi Ulsterissa, väkivalta kasvoi myös rajan eteläpuolella. Vuoden 1916 pääsiäiskapina epäonnistui, mutta Irlannin vapaussota 1919-1921 toi itsehallinnon, jota kuitenkin radikaaleimmat vastustivat. Siitä seurasi vajaan vuoden kestänyt sisällissota, joka päättyi kuitenkin itsehallinnon kannattajien voittoon. Irlannin pitkä matka kohti täyttä itsenäisyyttä ja tasavaltaa oli lopulta toteutumassa.

622. Rantzaus raid - Östergötland i brand 1567

Vintern 1567 kom kriget till Östergötland. I ett djärvt invasionsföretag med en armé av måttlig storlek gav sig fältherren Daniel Rantzau på att skaka om en tidigare fredad region av svenskt kärnland. Målet var att tåga hela vägen till Stockholm och tvinga fram ett avslut på det nordiska sjuårskriget, som då var inne på sitt fjärde år. I ett helvetiskt inferno gick åtskilliga av de gamla svenska städerna upp i rök på ett pärlband, först småländska Jönköping, följt av Vadstena, Linköping, Norrköping, Söderköping och Skänninge, som final brann Eksjö och Vetlanda. Oftast höll svenskarna själva i den antändande facklan. Följ med till en krigiskt eldfängd tid.
