In the wider context of a post-war Europe, the Free State wrestled with issues of national identity and citizenship, working to distance itself from its past as a former part of the United Kingdom and to present an image to the world of a potentially strong sovereign state.	cache/9p29086371k.txt	txt/9p29086371k.txt
