THE PROTESTANTS IN NORTHERN IRELAND SECURED THE BEST LIVING STANDARDS.
THIS CAUSED PROVOCATION AMONG THE CATHOLICS
IN THE 1960'S THE "TROUBLES" BEGAN
CATHOLIC MARCHES MET WITH VIOLENCE FROM MILITANT PROTESTANTS
CATHOLICS WERE KILLED BY SOLDIERS FROM THE BRITISH ARMY DURING A PEACEFUL DEMONSTRATION MARCH
THE FIGHTS ESCALATED, AND BOMBS, VIOLENCE AND KILLINGS BECAME THE EVERYDAY LIFE OF THE NORTHERN IRLAND CITIZENS.
YEARS LATER
THERE WAS STILL NO WINNER OF THE CONFLICT
NO PEACE
They worked for a reconciliation, and in 1998 a peace agreement was signed.
in 2005 -
IRA handed in their weapons
