The Anti-Treaty Irish Republican Army was an Irish Republican militant organization that existed from the split between the Pro-Treaty and Anti-Treaty IRA in 1922 to the split between the Provisional IRA and the Official IRA in 1969.[1]

It participated in several armed campaigns against the United Kingdom and the collaborator Irish Free State and later Republic of Ireland.[2]
