Some 73 Sinn Feiners elected to Parlia-lent in 1918 refused to sit at Westminster, 'hey set up the Dail, or parliament, at Dublin nd proclaimed a republic. The Irish Republican irmy waged a guerrilla war against the occupy-ig British forces. After two years of killing and rson a truce was arranged in July 1921. Irish elegates negotiated with the British government i London. Lloyd George secured agreement to is terms by threatening to renew the war. 'wenty-six counties received dominion status as le Irish Free State (December 1921). Six re-sived home rule and remained within the United kingdom. The last British garrison in Dublin ras withdrawn in February 1922.
