In Ireland's history students are already familiar with the story of Sir Roger Keithman. His consular clarified the circumstances of local people in the Congo and Putumayo in Belgium and gave him a title. And the recent biography provided a reassessment of his life. However, in Germany, Ireland and the UK, Casement left his mark in Europe in 1916. In spring and summer, Casement was imprisoned, tried, convicted and detained by treason. As the ultimate leader of the Easter rebellion, it is enforced in August 1916. A few months later, his detention in London, trial and prison made him different from his counterpart in Dublin.

Irish Americans who are looking for hero to obey are lacking in choice. As a global struggle you can see the heroicism of the Sir Roger Case of the Republic of Ireland which takes ethics of anti-imperialism and anti-racism. Casemend is one of the few Europeans who wrote the atrocities of King Leopold on Congo, nobody wrote about the rubber teles incident that criticized the death of up to 10 million Congolese. Casement also spent time at the Amazon. So he worked to record the atrocities of Portuguese settlers against indigenous peoples. Quezter was eventually executed for his role in the Easter rebellion of Ireland which was an attempt by British authorities in 1916. Kasmend is one of the few Irish people who saw the relationship between Ireland's struggle against Ireland and the struggle of all oppressed people.
