Like all conflicts and efforts towards nation-building they are complicated. The Easter Rising can't be viewed as an isolated incident, its vital to include WWI in any discussion about 1916. Secondly America had as many Irish & Irish Americans living in it as the population of Ireland during 1916. This and many other factors make America an important ally leading up to the establishment of the Irish Free State in 1922.
