The Irish Civil War, a conflict that followed the Irish War of Independence, officially concluded on May 24, 1923. On this date, the Anti-Treaty IRA leadership issued a "dump arms" order to its volunteers, effectively ending the hostilities. The war, fought between the Provisional Government of Ireland (pro-treaty) and the Anti-Treaty IRA, stemmed from disagreements over the Anglo-Irish Treaty. The conflict left a lasting legacy of division and bitterness within Irish society, shaping its political landscape for generations.
