A deep division in Irish society opened up on #ThisDayInHistory in 1922, when the #DáilÉireann ratified the #AngloIrishTreaty by 64–57. The #IrishCivilWar that began in June was launched by the opposing faction. Ireland's three main political parties descend from these factions.

On #ThisDayInHistory in 1922, the #IrishFreeState executed nine men, including novelist #ErskineChilders (who was killed for owning a pistol while being Protestant). Free State executed at ~3x the rate of the UK during the independence war, contributing to the #IrishCivilWar.
