>"For some time before the outbreak of the Revolution, the Masonic cluibs, under the sinister influence of German Illuminism, were undoubtedly active centers of intrigue against the Monarchy and the Church. The majority of the French nobles had been members, but on seeing the trend of opinion in their circles they began to leave the clubs during the years immediately previous to 1789."
>"In the first year of the Revolution there was a well known Masonic club in Paris, the Club de la Propagande, whose object was not only to consolidate the Revolution in France but to spread its principles to other countries"
>The leading figures of the time were among its members – Robespierre, Lafayette, Condorcet, Danton, Abbé Gregoire and others. The names of its Irish members are given in the records as ‘Boyle, Okard and O’Konnor.”

Btw Many Latin American countries had military men of Irish ancestrality as founding fathers. Daniel Florence O'Leary in Venezuela, Juan Mackenna and Bernardo O'Higgins in Chile, Peter Campbell in Uruguay, John Thomond O'Brien and William Brown in Argentina, Francisco Burdett O'Connor in Bolivia, James Rooke in Colombia. France had a president and Spain a PM descended from Irish military families (Patrice MacMahon and Leopoldo O'Donnell). The point in what I'm saying is all of Ireland's military energy was devoted either to fighting for foreign Catholic armies abroad, rebelling at home (without access to actual military resources), fighting as footsoldiers for the British or US armies. The Irish in fact have an extremely eminent history of service in foreign armies. Peter Lacy was one of the most famous Russian generals before Suvorov. The Irish Brigade in French service played a crucial role in winning the battle of Fontenoy.
