THE Celtic REVOLUTION - Ernest L Martin - April 1969

Ernest L Martin

The Celtic Homelands are in agitation. Brittany showing defiance to France. Protestants in Northern Ireland versus Catholics. Bomb attacks in Wales. Cries of Independence are heard in Scotland. Separatism from Canada plagues Quebec. What is the significance of these growing disturbances? Brittany, France. "Brittany was liberated twenty-five years ago," shouted Charles de Gaulle, on his visit to Brittany early in February. "Yes, but we want to be free," retorted the separatist Celtic Bretons. De Gaulle hurried to his westernmost province early in February, in an attempt to bring some semblance of order to this restless region. His speeches sought to placate the noisy calls for independence welling up from the underprivileged Bretons. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
