Ulster Troubles (Part 10 of 24)
The Troubles consisted of about 30 years of repeated acts of intense violence between elements of Northern Ireland's Nationalist community (principally Roman Catholic) and Unionist community (principally Protestant). The conflict was caused by the disputed status of Northern Ireland within the United Kingdom, and the alleged domination of the minority nationalist community, and discrimination against, by the unionist majority. The violence was characterised by the armed campaigns of paramilitary groups. Most notable of these was the Provisional IRA campaign 1969--1997 which was aimed at the end of British rule in Northern Ireland and the creation of a new all-Ireland Irish Republic. In response to this campaign and the perceived erosion of the British character and unionist domination of Northern Ireland, loyalist paramilitaries such as the UVF and UDA launched their own campaigns against the nationalist population. The state security forces - the British Army and the police (the Royal Ulster Constabulary) - were also involved in the violence. The British government point of view is that its forces were neutral in the conflict and trying to uphold law and order in the North. Irish republicans, however, regarded the state forces as "combatants" in the conflict and point to evidence of repeated collusion between the state forces and the loyalists as proof of this.
Alongside the violence, there was a political deadlock between the major political parties in Northern Ireland, including those who condemned violence, over the future status of Northern Ireland and the form of government there should be within Northern Ireland.
The Troubles were brought to an uneasy end by a peace process which included the declaration of ceasefires by most paramilitary organisations, the corresponding withdrawal of most troops from the streets and the reform of the police, as agreed by the signatories to the Belfast Agreement (commonly known as the Good Friday Agreement). This reiterated the long-held position that Northern Ireland will remain within the United Kingdom until a majority votes otherwise. It also established a devolved power-sharing government within Northern Ireland (currently suspended), where the government must consist of both unionist and nationalist parties.
Though the number of active participants in the Troubles was relatively small, and the paramilitary organisations that claimed to represent the communities were sometimes unrepresentative of the general population, the Troubles touched the lives of most people in Northern Ireland on a daily basis, while occasionally spreading to Great Britain and the Republic of Ireland. In addition at several times between 1969 and 1998, for example in 1972, after the Bloody Sunday, or during the Hunger Strikes of 1981, when there was mass, hostile mobilisation of the two communities and it seemed possible that the Troubles would escalate into a genuine civil war. Many people today have had their political, social and communal attitudes and perspectives shaped by the Troubles.

Ulster
A short video about the ancient Irish province of Ulster. 'Ulster' is often used incorrectly as a synonym for 'Northern Ireland' - a state set up by the British based on a religious headcount. When Ireland was one nation it voted overwhemly for independence from Britain. A Unionist minority living in the north eastern part of Ireland did not want independence so the British government tried to keep hold of their slipping empire by partitioning the country giving the Unionist minority their own state.
The British government, ignoring the democratic right of the Irish people to national self determination, enforced this new state by a threat of an "immediate and terrible war"
Unionists were given the chance to control all 9 counties of Ulster in this new state but rejected 3 counties because in their view a 9 county Ulster contained to many catholics.
Ulster has an Irish Nationalist majority
In Ulster -
Co.Donegal nationalist majority
Co.Fermanagh nationalist majority
Co.Cavan nationalist majority
Co.Tyrone nationalist majority
Co.Monaghan nationalist majority
Co. Derry nationalist majority
Co.Down (south) nationalist majority
Co.Armagh (south) nationalist majority
Belfast City - Nationalist majority
Derry City - Nationalist majority
Armagh City - Nationalist majority
Newry City - Nationalist majority
Antrim is the only county unionists now dominate, 1 county out of 9 in Ulster 1 county out of 32 in ireland
Ulster says NO to British rule
This video was made as a video respnse to a video 'loyal ulster' made by rulebritannia1 who refused to allow it to be posted as a response to his. Afraid of the truth probably -
