 :And the Cosgrave government was the consequence of the Civil War, and the de Valera government was the consequence of the Cosgrave government, and the Economic War and the 1937 Constitution were the consequences of the de Valera government, and so on and so on. History doesn't stop, it jes' keeps rolling along. But the ""Home Rule Crisis"" refers to a very specific two-year period in Irish and British history. It ended on 3 September 1914, when John Redmond stood up in the House of Commons and offered the Irish Volunteers for the defence of Ireland, in co-operation with the Ulster Volunteers, or alternatively on 18 September 1914, when the Home Rule Bill was enacted. There were lots of crises after that, but they were not the Home Rule Crisis. If you disagree, show me a single citation that says that World War I, the Easter Rising, the War of Independence and/or the GOI Act 1920 were part of the Home Rule Crisis.  
 :By the ""Act that was never implemented"" I was referring to the Home Rule Act. If you think that the Treaty is not relevant to that, take it out. No problem. And, by the way, the Civil War was fought over the retention of the monarchy in the Treaty, and the Oath of Allegiance, not over partition. Read any history book if you doubt that.    "
