Irish Parliamentary Party
The
Irish Parliamentary Party (IPP) was an
political party formed in
1882 under the leadership of
Charles Stewart Parnell and others that was instrumental in laying the groundwork for
Irish self-government. Following Parnell's fall in
1891, it split into Parnellite and anti-Parnellite wings, but reunited in
1900. The
Easter Rising and the British response to it radicalized Irish politics to such an extent that the IPP lost massively in the
1918 General Election, and was dissolved.
