Description
The Civil War exploded into violence in late June 1922. Initially, the anti-Treaty forces seized control of Dublin and many other areas of Ireland, but by late July the troops of the Free State, supplied with vehicles and weapons by the British, had regained control of Dublin. The fighting was international news, as shown by the front page of a Bennington, Vermont, newspaper, along with the news of July 4th festivities in town.
