The Pittites(1) began organizing and preparing to organize a vote of no confidence however their luck would come early Foxite(2) Whigs launched their own vote of no confidence against the Burkites. this forced the whole entire British government to resign this eventually lead to parliment being dissolved and an election.

The Pittites dominated in Great Britain itself especially since the Whig vote was spilt even worse for the Foxites their support for the French revolution scared the aristocracy resulting in defeat however the Whigs did dominate in Ireland and the American seats. The administration set off to weaken whig dominace. Their strategy was extremely controversial they had failed multiple times but they introduced a law that the Catholics hated the Presbyterians hated and the Anglo Irish were angry as well as they increased the land requirement tenfold in Ireland to destory the Whig voting base their entirely.

The United Irishmen met with Catholic Comitee(5) representatives both came to an agreement Ireland had to be free creating their own rival parliament to Westminster the volunteer companies rallied,Wolfe Tones with his Volunteer Companies and protesters marched across the city surronding Dublin Castle the Garrison prepared and here Wolfe Tones Declared.
"So let us raise our voices as one, declaring to the world our determination to chart our own course, to govern ourselves according to the dictates of our conscience, and to live as free men in a land of our own making.

Today, we declare with solemnity and resolve, separation from English tyranny in a fair and open war of liberation . Let this be our rallying cry, our beacon of justice, guiding us toward a future where liberty and justice prevail.

In the words of our forefathers, let us march onward, undeterred by the storms that rage around us, for we are the sons of Ireland, and Ireland is ours forevermore.


May God bless Ireland for we will never concede!"


The Volunteers responded by storming Dublin Castle the city was besieged and from the northeastern edge Irish Forces managed to occupy the power tower and used it to obiliterate the Irish Army(6) with the Lord Lieutenant being given a show trial before he was sentenced to death for crimes against Ireland the battle spread across Dublin however the Government either was captured or fled.

The Irish Military underwent widespread defection as the small number of Catholics changed sides however the largest group Presbyterians rose up against the Kingdom. however nothing from the Argentine and Quebec campaigns open warfare would not work so despite the want for an open and fair war mostly the rebels began irregular attacks however they managed to cut British supply in Rural Ireland. The same day as the Storming of Dublin Castle Irish Volunteers Started the War in Ulster by Storming an Orange Order Lodge.
