Nis Petersen (22. januar 1897 i Vamdrup – 9. marts 1943) var en af sin tids mest populære danske digtere og forfattere. Han var fætter til Kaj Munk. Han debuterede i 1926 med digtsamlingen Nattens pibere. Hans største romaner er Sandalmagernes gade, som foregår i det multietniske antikke Rom, og Spildt mælk, som foregår i det borgerkrigshærgede Irland. Begge blev oversat til engelsk og hurtigt solgt i flere oplag. (Wikipedia)

The Irish Civil War (Irish: Cogadh Cathartha na hÉireann; 28 June 1922 – 24 May 1923) was a conflict that followed the Irish War of Independence and accompanied the establishment of the Irish Free State, an entity independent from the United Kingdom but within the British Empire.

The civil war was waged between two opposing groups, the pro-treaty Provisional Government and the anti-treaty Irish Republican Army (IRA), over the Anglo-Irish Treaty. The forces of the Provisional Government (which became the Free State in December 1922) supported the Treaty, while the anti-treaty opposition saw it as a betrayal of the Irish Republic (which had been proclaimed during the Easter Rising). Many of those who fought on both sides in the conflict had been members of the IRA during the War of Independence.

The Civil War was won by the pro-treaty Free State forces, who benefited from substantial quantities of weapons provided by the British Government. The conflict may have claimed more lives than the War of Independence that preceded it, and left Irish society divided and embittered for generations. Today, two of the main political parties in the Republic of Ireland, Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil, are direct descendants of the opposing sides of the war. (Wikipedia)
