Ireland's Easter Rising was marked by a 26-day hunger strike - Apparently.
In April 1916, Irish rebels, including 15-year-old John MacDonagh, began a hunger strike to protest British rule in Ireland. The strike lasted for 26 days, with some participants refusing food and water for nearly a month. The event was part of the Easter Rising, a rebellion that marked a significant turning point in Ireland's struggle for independence. The hunger strike was a remarkable display of determination and sacrifice by the rebels, who were ultimately defeated but paved the way for Ireland's eventual independence.
