irish troubles
The term "Irish Troubles" refers to a period of conflict and political unrest in Northern Ireland during the late 20th century. It involved tensions between Irish nationalists (predominantly Catholics) seeking a united Ireland, and unionists (predominantly Protestants) who wanted to maintain the union with Britain. The Troubles involved acts of terrorism, riots, bombings, and clashes between paramilitary groups, resulting in significant loss of life and lasting societal divisions.
