Michael Collins (Liam Neeson in the movie) was a product of the history created by the colonizing of Ireland and molded by the incidents of his time. In 1916, the British government ruled Ireland with a firm and cruel hand. When a group of Irish rebels staged a six-day siege at Dublin's General Post Office, only one of the leaders was able to escape execution, Eamon De Valera, an American citizen of Irish/Spanish blood. De Valera takes control of Sinn Fein after being released from prison in 1917. Michael Collins averted punishment, but while in prison became convinced that a new approach was needed to free Ireland from British rule. He formed the Irish Volunteers, who used a combination of terrorist tactics and guerilla warfare against the British. By employing espionage, using an inside informant to learn what the British plans were and what they knew about Collins and his supporters, the volunteers were able to hit the British at their weak points. His skills and talent for warfare made a major impact on the British, and he became the hero of the new Republican Movement. In the movie, Collins, talks of his, "talent for mayhem" (Michael Collins, 1996, Warner Brothers), being as much a burden as a gift.
