Michael Collins
Michael Collins was a prominent Irish revolutionary leader, key in the struggle for Irish independence from British rule. He played a significant role during the Irish War of Independence and was instrumental in the negotiations that led to the Anglo-Irish Treaty in 1921. Collins is often remembered as a symbol of resistance and a pivotal figure in the establishment of the Irish Free State, and his legacy continues to influence Irish national identity.
