Wolfe Tone played a pivotal role in the fight for Irish independence and republicanism. He was instrumental in establishing the Society of United Irishmen in 1791, aiming to unite Protestants and Catholics in their quest to break free from British rule. Tone spearheaded a rebellion in 1798, seeking foreign support for the cause. Despite being captured during a French-backed invasion, he ultimately succumbed to a self-inflicted injury rather than facing a death sentence. His legacy continues to be revered within Irish Republicanism, with various factions honoring his memory each year.
