from Part II - The French Revolution Radicalizes Social Movements
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 29 October 2021
The hopes of the French Revolution were most keenly felt by their Catholic coreligionists in Ireland.

Seeking aid from the French government for a militant uprising, the United Irish ultimately rose with disastrous results in 1798.
