Abstract
As the republican campaign developed over the course of the late twentieth century, the United States of America and its considerable Irish population became an important actor. The influence of Irish-America helped to direct the path of republicanism, both politically and militarily, particularly during the 1970s and 1980s, as US-based organisations and individuals sent large sums of money to Ireland, much of which supported and enhanced the military campaign of the IRA. The tactics deployed by republicans in the United States established a platform from which funds could be raised to enhance the republican struggle in Ireland. This chapter considers the establishment of Irish-American support for Irish republicans during the early 1970s and how this aspect of the republican struggle impacted on the recent split in the movement.
