- Title
America and the making of an independent Ireland: a history.
- Authors
McNamara, Robert
- Abstract
But Irish opposition to entering the war and the anti-Wilson attitude of more militant Irish Americans alienated major political figures, including the re-elected president and Theodore Roosevelt, who were both sympathetic to Ireland. Efforts by the British government during 1917 to resolve the Irish question, including the 1917 Irish Convention, arguably were driven by the need to remove the grit of Ireland from the smooth running of the war time alliance. Carroll argues, as have others, that the ignoring of the American Commission on Irish Independence by Britain and the United States turned Irish-American opinion against both Wilson and the Versailles Treaty.
