That's an interesting historical event! On May 2, 1922, General Montgomery led a convoy to Macroom Castle in Cork, Ireland. He demanded that the IRA surrender four captives or else he would destroy the town. In response, the IRA commander gave him a ten-minute ultimatum to leave. To Montgomery's surprise, he found himself surrounded by Irish Volunteers. Faced with this situation, he chose to flee. It's fascinating to learn about these moments from history.
