Eire's Neutrality
Attempts to
persuade Eire to
enter the war.
Attempt 1: June 1940 Britain tried
to persuade Eire to join them in a
defensive agreement after
Germany defeated France and
British troops withdrew from
Dunkirk. Britain proposed to a
United Ireland if they allowed
Britain access to ports in Eire.
Attempt 2: 2nd September
1941 Japanese attacked the
Americans at Pearl Harbour
and Germany declared war
with USA. Churchill offered
again for Eire to join the war
"A Nation once Again".
De Valera rejected the
offer because it looked
like Germany was going to
win the war and if Eire
entered the war then they
would lose their
independence.
The prime Minister of
Northern Ireland was
outraged when he heard
this proposal.
Churchill was
offering Eire a
United Ireland
but he again
declined.
Attempt 3: 1942 Britain needed
the treaty ports in Eire as the
Battle of the Atlantic was at its
peak and German U-boats were
sinking allied ships.
De Valera
declined this
offer once again.
Benevolent Neutrality
Eire's neutrality was actually
biased towards the Allies
this made it benevolent
neutrality.
Eire allowed the RAF and later the US
Air Force to fly over a small part of
County Donegal (the Donegal
Corridor).
This avoided a 100 mile extra
journey to avoid Donegal and
provided air cover for the convoys
for longer.
De Valera sent 13 fire engines and
fire-fighters from Dublin, Dundalk and
Drogheda to help fight the blazes
after the Belfast Blitz.
Allied Airmen were allowed to
escape unlike the German
shipwrecked who were
interned.
What the USA thought about
Eire's Neutrality
In February 1945 De Valera gave permission
to the British to build Secret Radar bases in
Eire.
43000 Irish citizens joined
the British armed forces
including 5000 who left the
Irish army to join the
British army.
President Roosevelt stated
that Eire's neutrality was 'a
serious impediment to the war
effort'.
David Gray the US Ambassador in Dublin
critizised de Valera for not protesting to the
German Ambassador after the Belfast Blitz.
Northern Ireland's attitude to Eire's
benevolent Neutrality
Sir Basil Brooke and Northern Ireland
were outraged with Eire's decision to
stay neutral this drove Eire and
Northern Ireland further apart.
However Northern
Ireland was very
appreciative of Eire's
actions to send fire
fighters to help fight the
blazes of the Belfast
Blitz.
The British Attitude to Eire's neutrality
Eire annoyed the British by not accepting their proposal
to join the war in exchange for a United Ireland as de
Valera wanted.
How de Valera operated policy
of Strict Neutrality
De Valera interned 3 suspect IRA
members in Eire as the IRA was a
huge threat to Eire's neutrality.
Eire refused to give the treaty
ports and airfields back to
Britain.
De Valera refused to close
both the Japanese or the
German Embassy's in
Dublin.
