What was the Munster republic during the civil war?

The Munster Republic was a short-lived revolutionary government established in the Munster region of Ireland during the Irish Civil War in 1922. It emerged as a response to the conflict between pro-Treaty and anti-Treaty forces following the Anglo-Irish Treaty, with the anti-Treaty side declaring a republic. The Munster Republic was characterized by its efforts to assert control over the region and resist the pro-Treaty government, but it ultimately faced military defeat. Its existence highlighted the deep divisions in Irish society during this tumultuous period.
