Ireland's generational timeline is extremely confounding because
the potato famine affected it in some incomprehensible way.
At any rate, here's what I have in my notes about the
last couple of centuries:

> Ireland -- Irish Rebellion of 1798 -- 1793-1798
> Ireland -- Potato Famine -- 1845-1849
> Ireland -- Revolution + Civil War -- 1913-1924
