corrected version of my third homework task

This is the correction of my third homework task. My writing skills have improved, but unfortunately I got the wrong task. In my first sentence I said that I would going to write about the foundation of the United Irishmen but then started to write about their goals and longings for Ireland. 

Corrected version (with a different head sentence):

The most fascinating aspect of Irish culture that I learned about by watching the Story of Ireland was the importance of the “United Irishmen” for Ireland with their longing for a free and independent Irish Nation. In 1791 the United Irishmen were formed by educated, Protestant people from the south, middle-class Catholics from the north and nationalists from Ulster. Their goal was to break the link with Britain and acquire independence as well as religious freedom. At the same time there was a group formed on the side of the Protestants – “The Orange Order”. They were called the Orange Order because William of Orange had been the king of England since 1689. In 1796 Wolfe Tone, who was one of the most important leaders of the United Irishmen went to France to ask for military help. He promised the French king loyalty in case of a war against Britain and therefore received military support. Tone arrived at the West coast of Ireland with 15000 troops and 43 military ships. Unfortunately, the Irish were unlucky because the weather was bad, which caused that the French troops returned home. Once again the revolution could not take place.
