ON THIS DAY: 3RD MARCH 1831: First Clash of the Tithe War in Kilkenny
People were obliged by law to pay Tithes for the upkeep of the Church of Ireland, which was the official state sanctioned Church. What was ‘owed’ could be taken in the form of money, land, rent, produce or livestock. Struggling farmers did not want to be forced to pay for the upkeep of a religion that was not theirs. They also felt obliged to pay for the upkeep of the clergy of their own religion. So began the Tithe Wars with organized resistance to the payment of tithes. The government responded by compiling lists of defaulters and issuing collection orders for the seizure of goods and chattels (mostly livestock).
The first clash of the war took place on 3rd March 1831 in Graiguenamanagh, County Kilkenny, when a force of 120 yeomanry tried to enforce seizure orders on cattle belonging to a Roman Catholic priest. Encouraged by his bishop, he had organised people to resist tithe collection by placing their stock under his ownership prior

ON THIS DAY: 4TH March 1918: First reported case of Spanish flu which starts a worldwide pandemic
The Spanish flu pandemic of 1918, the deadliest in history, infected an estimated 500 million people worldwide—about one-third of the planet’s population—and killed an estimated 20 million to 50 million victims, including some 675,000 Americans.
Though the original origin of the virus is disputed, the first known case was reported at a military base in Kansas on this day, 1918.
It quickly spread around the word as there there were no effective drugs or vaccines to treat this killer flu strain. Citizens were ordered to wear masks, schools, theatres and businesses were shuttered and bodies piled up in makeshift morgues before the virus ended its deadly global march.
