During the Civil War, 1922-23, what was the Munster Republic? - Junior Cycle History - Question (xvi) - 2009

The Munster Republic was a region in southern Ireland that became a stronghold for Anti-Treaty forces during the Irish Civil War from 1922 to 1923. This area encompassed the region south of a line extending from Limerick to Waterford, where the Anti-Treaty IRA (Irish Republican Army) established significant military control.

The republic attempted to assert its authority and maintain a unified anti-Treaty stance against the pro-Treaty forces, reflecting the deep divisions in Irish society at the time. The Munster Republic was characterized by its resistance to the government established under the Anglo-Irish Treaty, creating a zone where republican sentiments were largely prevalent and military actions were concentrated.
