The Troubles (1969-1998)

Northern Ireland was created in 1921. 

Its six counties remained in the United Kingdom when the rest of Ireland became independent. 

For decades its Protestant majority dominated Northern Ireland’s politics and discriminated against 

their Catholic neighbours. 

After tensions rose in the 1960s, the “Troubles” began in 1969. Both the Irish Republican Army, which demanded that the north become part of Ireland, and unionist militants, determined to keep it within the uk, carried out terrorist attacks. More than 3,500 people died in the 30-year conflict.

The Troubles (1960-1998)

The Troubles: 

An ethno-nationalist conflict in Northern Ireland that started in the late 1960s 

and ended with the Good Friday Agreement in 1998

The violence spilled over into parts of the Republic of Ireland, England, and mainland Europe.

The conflict was primarily political and nationalistic,

Despite the use of the terms 'Protestant' and 'Catholic' to refer to the two sides, 

it was not a religious conflict. The key issue was the status of Northern Ireland. 

Unionists and loyalists, who for historical reasons were mostly Ulster Protestants, wanted Northern Ireland to remain within the United Kingdom. 

Irish nationalists and republicans, who were mostly Irish Catholics, wanted Northern Ireland to leave the United Kingdom and join a united Ireland.

The main participants in the Troubles were republican paramilitaries such as the Provisional Irish Republican Army (IRA) and the Irish National Liberation Army (INLA); loyalist paramilitaries such as the Ulster Volunteer Force (UVF) and Ulster Defence Association (UDA); British state security forces such as the British Army and RUC; and political activists.

The Troubles (1969-1998)

Start of  conflict: 

Campaign by the Northern Ireland Civil Rights Association 

to end discrimination against the Catholic/nationalist minority by the Protestant/unionist government and local authorities

The government attempted to suppress the protests. The police, the Royal Ulster Constabulary (RUC), were overwhelmingly Protestant and known for sectarianism and police brutality. 

Ulster loyalists violently opposed the campaign above and believed it was a republican front. 

Increased tensions led to the August 1969 riots and the deployment of British troops, in what became the British Army's longest operation

"Peace walls" were built in some areas to keep the two communities apart. Some Catholics initially welcomed the British Army as a more neutral force than the RUC, but soon came to see it as hostile and biased, particularly after Bloody Sunday in 1972.

Bloody Sunday - 1972

A massacre in Derry, Northern Ireland on 30 January 1972 

British soldiers shot 26 unarmed civilians during a protest march 

in Derry, Northern Ireland. 

Fourteen people died

 Many of the victims were shot while fleeing from the soldiers, and some were shot while trying to help the wounded

Bloody Sunday fuelled Catholic and Irish nationalist hostility to the British Army and worsened the conflict. Support for the Provisional Irish Republican Army (IRA) rose.
