- Abstract
Imitating other successful nations, as a model to follow, constitutes an essential component of the concept of nation which is worked out by every nationalist movement. External influences are particularly relevant at the level of the cultural and political strategies to be adopted. Within the sample of foreign influences which were received by Basque nationalism since its origins (1895), the Irish example has been the most intense and enduring model. The impact of the Irish movement on the Basque one was enhanced by geographic proximity, as well as by the sociopolitical achievements of the former, but it was particularly the Irish legendary aura and its rebellious character which contributed the most. The Easter Rising (1916), its subsequent repression and the following electoral victory of the supporters of Irish independence (1919) definitively reinforced its infuence on the Basque movement. From a transnational outlook this essays analyses the modalities and evolution of that influence, as well as the ways through which the Irish model was received in the Basque country.
