And if the Irish had been smarter, they would have renamed it as
soon as they got rid of British rule.

Actually, the most important thing was *peace*. The infant Irish government
did not make any efforts to demonstrate their independance.

The British landowners didn't understand that the Irish only wanted peace.
Many of them(the British) sold their land after independance because they
thought that their land would be confiscated. History shows that they sold
cheap.

To this day, the Irish have not tried to exact revenge.
