The Troubles - Timeline
1300
1300s: England took control over Ireland. Maybe these attach made Protestants to move to the northern part of Ireland, and therefore the troubles arose in Northern Ireland between the Catholics and the Protestants.
1700
1703: Over the past century, Catholics had been transported abroad and resettled in new areas. In 1703, the Protestants owned 90 % of the land in Ireland. The treatment of the Catholics was unfair, and I think this is one of the reasons why the Catholics are poorer than the Protestants today.
1900
1922: Ireland was finely a free state again after the civil war. However, 6 counties in Ulster in the north had a majority of Protestants, and they became Northern Ireland who belongs to Great Britain.
1950
1968: A lot of riots started in Belfast and Derry (called Londonderry by the Protestants). Most of the policemen were Protestants; and instead of stopping the demonstrations which got violent, they supported the Protestants and used weapons to stop the Catholics. However, the Catholics were supported by the IRA (The Irish Republican Army) and hard fights took place during recent years. These years were terrible for everyone; even you were a little boy you could get killed in the street when you went to school.
The tension between the Catholics and the Protestants was getting stronger for every day. The Catholics wanted to be a part of Ireland; free from Great Britain, while the Protestants wanted to be a part of Great Britain.
1969: The British Army came into Northern Ireland to helping handle the conflict. The Catholics thought they were protectors and accepted them. This is called The Honeymoon. However, IRA saw the British soldiers as occupants and declared war against England. Since IRA was a terror organization, they used terror actions when they attached cities in England.
30th January 1972: Bloody Sunday started as a peaceful demonstration in Derry (Londonderry) where young people wanted to show what they meant about the conflict. The British Government did not accept the demonstration, and the British Army opened fire and killed 14 people and injured 13 people.
1975
1981: 10 prisoners from the IRA started a hunger strike because the prime minister in Great Britain, Margaret Tacher, refused them to be held as army prisoners. Bobby Sands is best known of the hunger strikers, and after 66 days without food he starved to death together with the other 9 prisoners.
2000
1997: The British Government tried to actuate peace negotiations. The IRA understood they did not win the conflict by using violence, and declared cease fire. The Good Friday Agreement was a new agreement for people in Northern Ireland. It was supported by the population by a referendum 23rd May 1998.
