Pro Treaty
The British government's original proposals were rejected by the Republican majority in the Dail Eireann, mainly due to the oath of allegiance and membership of the British Empire.
De Valera himself was prepared to accept a connection with Great Britain, and so agreed to send a delegation to London on 11th October 1921 to negotiate with British representatives.
The truce was followed almost immediately by meetings between Lloyd George and de Valera, as well as Sir James Craig, which formed the prelude to a long period of complicated negotiations which lasted almost until the end of the year. The basis of Lloyd George's proposal for a political settlement was the offer of Dominion status. This was a considerable advance on Home Rule, though it was less than complete independence.
