It concludes that while Wolfe Tone and Emmet may have been inspirational, it was the experiences in politics and developments in political theory stemming from the 1840s Young Ireland movement that had the greatest impact. Though the 1848 rebellion led by William Smith O’Brien has often been derided by historians, it was a pivotal event which led directly to the foundation of Fenianism, which in turn led directly to the Land League revolution 1879-82 and indeed the 1916 Rising. The influence of James Fintan Lalor is highlighted as it was Lalor who came up an alternative formula to constitutional agitation arguing that England’s treatment of Ireland had given the Irish a moral right to a legal tabula rasa over both land ownership and constitutional claims. Cette étude propose un bilan de la tradition de la force armée républicaine dans la politique irlandaise depuis les années 1790. Elle conclut que même si Wolfe Tone et Emmet furent des sources d’inspiration indéniables, ce sont les expériences politiques et les développements des théories politiques à partir du mouvement de la Jeune Irlande des années 1840 qui ont eu l’impact le plus important. Alors que la révolution de 1848 dirigée par William Smith O’Brien a souvent été minimisée par les historiens, ce fut en réalité un événement charnière qui eut pour conséquence directe la création du fenianisme qui a à son tour mené directement à la révolution de la Land League de 1879-1882 et par la suite à l’insurrection de 1916. L’influence de James Fintan Lalor est soulignée car celui-ci proposa une alternative à l’agitation constitutionnelle en affirmant que le traitement de l’Irlande par l’Angleterre avait donné aux Irlandais un droit moral à repartir sur de nouvelles bases juridiques, à la fois du point de vue de la propriété de la terre et des revendications constitutionnels.
