Michael Collins
Michael Collins (Irish: Míceál Ó Coileáin;23 16 October 1890 – 22 August 1922) was an Irish revolutionary, soldier and politician who was a leading figure in the early 20th century Irish struggle for independence.1 He was Chairman of the Provisional Government of the Irish Free State from January 1922 until his assassination in August 1922. Collins was born in Woodfield, County Cork as the youngest of eight children. His family had republican connections stemming back to the 1798 rebellion. He moved to London in 1906, working and studying law at King's College London. He was part of the London GAA and through this became associated with the Irish Republican Brotherhood. Returning to Ireland in 1916, he fought in the Easter Rising. He was imprisoned in the Frongoch internment camp as a prisoner of war but released in December 1916. After the Rising, Collins rose through the ranks of the Irish Volunteers and Sinn Féin; he became a Teachta Dála for South Cork in 1918 and was appointed Minister for Finance in the First Dáil. He was present when the Dáil convened on 21 January 1919 and declared the independence of the Irish Republic. In the ensuing War of Independence, he was Director of Organisation and Adjutant General for the Irish Volunteers, and Director of Intelligence of the Irish Republican Army. He gained fame as a guerrilla warfare strategist, planning and directing many successful attacks on British forces, such as the assassination of key British intelligence agents in November 1920. After the ceasefire of July 1921, Collins and Arthur Griffith were sent to London by Éamon de Valera to negotiate the peace terms. The resulting Anglo-Irish Treaty established the Irish Free State but included an Oath of Allegiance to the Crown, which was a deal-breaker for de Valera and other republican leaders. Collins saw the Treaty as offering Ireland "the freedom to achieve freedom"; he persuaded a small majority in the Dáil to ratify the Treaty and a provisional government was formed under his chairmanship in early 1922. Mutinous activities by anti-Treaty figures in June 1922 led to the outbreak of the Irish Civil War, in which Collins was commander-in-chief of the National Army. He was shot and killed in an ambush by anti-Treaty forces on 22 August 1922.
