Battle of Dublin

The Battle of Dublin was a week of street battles in Dublin from 28 June to 5 July 1922 that marked the beginning of the Irish Civil War. Six months after the Anglo-Irish Treaty ended the recent Irish War of Independence, it was fought between the forces of the new Provisional Government and a section of the Irish Republican Army (IRA) that opposed the Treaty.

Pro- and anti-Treaty Irish forces fought in Dublin from 28 June to 5 July 1922, marking the start of the Irish Civil War. The pro-Treaty side secured victory, leading to the establishment of the Irish Free State and deepening divisions in Irish politics.
