James Connolly vs Tupac Amaru II

Connolly founded the Irish Socialist Republican Party (ISRP), the first Marxist political party in Ireland. The party advocated for an independent Irish republic based on socialist principles.

Connolly published 'Labour in Irish History', a book arguing that Irish history was a class struggle and that national independence was inseparable from workers' emancipation. It became a key text of Irish socialist republicanism.

Connolly led the Irish Transport and General Workers' Union during the Dublin Lockout, a major industrial dispute. The lockout involved 20,000 workers and lasted five months, ending in defeat for the union but raising class consciousness.

Connolly co-founded the Irish Citizen Army (ICA) as a workers' militia to protect strikers during the Dublin Lockout. The ICA later became a paramilitary force dedicated to an independent Irish republic.

Connolly commanded the Irish Citizen Army during the Easter Rising, leading a force at the General Post Office. He was one of the key military strategists of the rebellion.

Connolly, wounded in the ankle during the Rising, was executed by firing squad tied to a chair in Kilmainham Gaol. His execution, due to his injuries, became a symbol of British brutality and a rallying point for republicanism.

Tupac Amaru II's forces defeated a Spanish royalist army at Sangarar

Tupac Amaru II proclaimed himself Inca leader and launched a rebellion against Spanish colonial authorities in Tinta, Peru. He called for the end of forced labor (mita), oppressive taxes, and the abolition of the corregidores system.

Tupac Amaru II captured and publicly executed Antonio de Arriaga, the Spanish corregidor of Tinta. This act signaled the start of the rebellion and rallied indigenous and mestizo populations to join the uprising against Spanish rule.

Tupac Amaru II was captured by Spanish forces after betrayal by fellow rebels. He was tortured and executed in Cusco's main square, being drawn and quartered. His family was also executed, but his rebellion inspired later independence movements.
