| Résumé : | Even though O'Connell came from a Gaelic background and is well-known for this struggle in favour of the Emancipation of Irish Catholics and the Repeal of the 1800 Act of Union between Ireland and Great Britain, he also took part in other struggles such as the abolition of slavery. He also developed an interest for India. This paper wishes to examine how the Irish leader took part in the debates on the 1833 parliamentary Bill, which renewed the Charter of the East India Company and in the campaigns led in 1839 and 1840 by two associations - the British India Society and the Northern Central British India Society. It will try to determine if there were links between O'Connell's campaigns against British rule in India and against the 1800 Act of Union, which should lead to a discussion and assessment of O'Connell's attitude towards the British Empire |
