Fenians: Irish Nationalists and Revolutionary Group

Source: Who Are The Fenians? House Of Guinness' Political Group & Real Irish History Explained (2025-09-27)

The Fenians were a 19th-century Irish nationalist organization dedicated to ending British rule in Ireland through revolutionary means. Originating from the Irish Republican Brotherhood, they aimed to establish an independent Irish republic and were involved in various uprisings, including the Fenian Rising of 1867. Their activities included guerrilla warfare, raids, and efforts to incite rebellion among Irish communities both in Ireland and abroad, particularly in the United States. The group’s influence waned after several failed attempts at insurrection, but their legacy persisted in Irish history and nationalism. The Fenians are remembered for their bold efforts to fight for Irish independence and their role in inspiring future generations of Irish republicans. Their actions contributed to the broader movement that eventually led to Ireland’s independence in the 20th century.
