During the the 19th century begins the industrial revolution that envolves all the European

countries. In the 1886, in Germany the "Benz Patent Moterwagen" invented the first car called
"Velociped". In the 90's in France was born the first film titled "the exit's of the Lumière's
officine" and the artistic movement called "Belle Epoque". In 1909, Filippo Tommaso Marinetti,
published in the newspaper "Le Figaro" the "Manifesto del futurismo" and thanks to him, begins
in Italy the new important artistic movement called "Futurismo". In thes years, exactly in the
1914, begains the First Word War that envolves lots of countries all over the word and
unfortunatly caused lots of victims. During the 20th century, especially from the year 1919 to
the year 1921, there is the Irish War od Indipendence fought between the Great Britain and
civils who wanted the Irish Indipendence and only in the 1922 Suoth Ireland obtained the
indipendence meanwhile the North part remains under the controll of the UK. This fight, was
very important for William B. Yeats becouse he was born in Dublin and he himself fought
personally for the Irish Indipendence foughting and writing one of his mastepieces "Easter 1916"
that now i'm going to analize.
Ireland is divided in 2 parts: North Ireland
goverbed by the UK and the South Ireland that is
the indipendent part.
This happened becouse in 1916 Irish people
rebelled against the UK power and the Southen
part obtained, after a long civil war, the
indipendence in 1922 becoming the Irish free
state. There are lots od differences beetwen
north Ireland and South Ireland like the
lenguage (North is English, in South is Irish),
the religion (North is protestant, South is
cattolic) and the culture differences.
