How did the Easter Rising end?

After the Easter Rising, the leaders of the rebellion were swiftly rounded up, given show trials, and executed. While the Irish had not strongly backed the revolution (in fact, some of them openly hated the rebels for the uprising) they were outraged by the executions. Several of the 'leaders' killed were not leaders at all, for example, Willie Pearse was executed primarily because his brother was one of those in charge. Another man, James Connolly, was badly injured during the fighting. The British tied him to a chair and shot him via firing squad. Such brutal deaths were seen as unfair and anti-British sentiments spread after the Easter Rising due to their handling of the trials. This resentment grew as time passed. While the Rising itself did not free Ireland, the memory of its martyrs eventually did.
