The Troubles

Conflict between Northern Ireland which was part of the UK and Ireland.

Lasted from the 1960s to the 1990s. 

Unionists (from the word: Union) wanted Northern Ireland to remain in the UK.

Nationalists wanted to become part of a united Ireland.

There was a lot of violence in the streets and many people died in the riots.

The Troubles

Battle of the Bogside- 1969

The escalation of the Civil Rights Movement - and by some believed to be the start of the Troubles - was the Battle of the Bogside, Derry, 1969.

Protestant marchers marched through the mainly Catholic/ Nationalist city of Derry. Massive violence breaks out, and this is by some seen as the start of The Troubles. 

Bloody Sunday - 1972

Bloody Sunday was an incident on 30 January 1972 in the Bogside area of Derry, Northern Ireland. British soldiers shot 28 unarmed civilians during a peaceful protest march against 'internment': throwing people in prison without reason/ trial. Fourteen people died. The Irish band U2 famously wrote a song about this day. 

Good Friday Agreement - 1998

This could be seen as 'the end of The Troubles'. The Irish, Northern Irish and British governments signed an agreement for peace. 

All in all, 3,500 people were killed in the conflict. 52% were civilians, 32% were members of the British security forces, and 16% were members of paramilitary groups.

U2 - Sunday Bloody Sunday

In the next exercise you are going to see if you know the difference between a republican mural and a unionist mural.

Good luck!

Still 'segregation' in some areas (Peace Walls)

Tourism is generally safe

Beautiful countryside

So.... will Ireland ever be united?
