What reading level is A Forgotten Small Nationality Ireland And the War book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Hamburg-American liners never called at Queenstown, despite their publicly announced intention of doing so. This, by the way, may be added to the cate- gory of German diplomatic blunders. Had Germany thus dra- matically intervened to grant Ireland a trading favor that England had refused, the way would have been much clearer before Irishmen when the war broke out. I have little doubt that the English Foreign Office, already foreseeing war, had this in mind when it exerted itself 11 to preve...nt Germany from showing Ireland this manifestation of favor.
' Without any illusions, then, about Germany, but with a clear vision of the English Empire as the incubus on Ireland, Irish Na- tionalists decided from the start of the war that it was Ireland's in- terest and duty to remain neutral as far as possible. In these days of small nationalities Ireland's right to take an independent line on the war cannot be contested, at all events by those who are fighting "German militarism. " Being held by force by the empire, and plentifully garrisoned both by troops and armed police, the police have been refused permission to join the army, though many of them have volunteered, because the Government wants them to keep Ire- land down, it was not possible for Ireland to be neutral in the full sense.
