A crucial meeting to plan the Fenian movement took place in Dublin on February 21, 1857. This gathering, led by James Stephens, was instrumental in establishing the organizational structure of the Fenian Brotherhood. The Fenians were a secret revolutionary society dedicated to achieving an independent Irish Republic through armed rebellion. This meeting laid significant groundwork for future nationalist activities and played a key role in shaping the course of Irish republicanism in the mid-19th century.
