On October 1, 1921, a crucial Irish delegation departed from Dublin for London to commence peace negotiations with the British government. This delegation included key figures such as Michael Collins and Arthur Griffith, tasked with discussing terms that would ultimately lead to the Anglo-Irish Treaty. The talks were a pivotal moment in the Irish War of Independence, aiming to resolve the conflict and establish a new political settlement for Ireland. The outcome of these negotiations would prove highly controversial, leading to deep divisions within Irish nationalist ranks and ultimately precipitating the Irish Civil War.
