But it wasn't long before the town fell under English rule. During the Great Famine, many people died from starvation and disease, including some of the merchants' wives and children. By 1841, the city had become one of the main centers of the nationalist movement. And in 1916, Cork played a key role in the Easter Rising against British rule.
