The below is one of many player suggested strategies for Ireland. These are the military staff candidates for appointment in Ireland. Air force Ireland has no air force at all. Navy Aside from some merchant convoys, Ireland entirely lacks a navy. In this state, Ireland is in no position to defend itself from attackers, let alone take the fight to any other nation.

They also tacitly provided information and preferential treatment to the Allies, such as interning downed Axis pilots while setting Allied pilots free. Nonetheless, following discovery of IRA attempts to coordinate with the Nazis, the Irish secretly coordinated planning with the UK to defend Ireland from Nazi invasion as a matter of common concern. However, Ireland remained neutral throughout the war, despite attacks by both sides on their shipping as well as pressure from the US and a British offer to give them Northern Ireland to join the Allies.
On 2 September, the Emergency Powers Act 1939 was introduced to grant government control of the economy and other sweeping powers. On 1 September 1939, German troops invaded Poland, precipitating war with the Allies. In 1937, a new constitution was passed which dismantled much of the United Kingdom's control and changed the country's name to Éire, or Ireland. This later allowed Irish neutrality in WWII but left British shipping vulnerable to German u-boats. Retaliatory tariffs by both sides left the Irish economy badly hurt but this Anglo-Irish Trade War ended in the return of military ports to the Irish. Ireland still reeling from the Great Depression, de Valera stopped remittance to Britain of farm debts from the 1880s. They were led by Éamon de Valera, who had been head of the 1921 Irish Republic and subsequently a leader of Sinn Féin but had left in 1927 taking a large faction with him. In 1932, the anti-treaty Fianna Fáil party became the majority. It also allowed Northern Ireland to consolidate its holding of otherwise Irish nationalist counties. But the war left Irish society divided and embittered for generations. After 10 grievous months, the pro-treaty forces won. Pro-treaty IRA members, now as the National Army, fought their anti-treaty IRA brothers and Sinn Féin. The Treaty, falling short of a republic, divided the Irish and, in June 1922, the Irish Civil War began. Northern Ireland was created from an area which overall voted to remain part of the United Kingdom. Contentious negotiations resulted in the Anglo-Irish Treaty of 6 December 1921, establishing the Irish Free State as an autonomous dominion of the Commonwealth. The British government, facing intense criticism at home and abroad, offered a truce, which the weary Irish gladly accepted. By June 1921, a de facto Irish Republic existed but so too a bloody stalemate with no end in sight for either side. The year after WWI ended, the 1919 Irish War for Independence began. This fueled the political rise of the republican Sinn Féin party and its military wing the Irish Republican Army.
It had little public support at the time, but Britain's heavy-handed and indiscriminate response to it shifted Irish opinion, beginning a cycle of escalating “physical-force republicanism” and UK reprisals against combatants and civilians alike. On 24 April 1916, the “Easter Rising” armed rebellion sought an independent Irish Republic. The outbreak of WWI in 1914 stalled both the crisis and implementation of Home Rule. But pro-British unionists in the northern state of Ulster formed paramilitary groups to oppose it, and Irish groups responded in kind. Supporters of immediate true independence were then a small minority. Since the 1880s, Irish constitutional nationalists had demanded self-government or “Home Rule” within the British Commonwealth. In the early 20th Century, Ireland experienced increasing tensions in a seven centuries long conflict over English and British rule in Ireland.
