Not true. Communities did not mix. You knew all of your neighbours. Towns and communities were incredibly close knit, nobody got in, nobody got out. You were either Irish, or an enemy of the Irish, it was that simple. Of course there were informers but as a whole it was pretty black and white

You seem to have a firm understanding so may I ask you: Was there a 2 class system that excluded Nationalist Catholics? What type of discrimination did they face? Was it discrimination that was established by law or was it the result of UK supporters excluding the Nationalist Catholics from good jobs & business? Last, was it so widespread that nearly everyone in both groups stuck to their own kind or did most not have strong feelings either way & have friendships with both Protestants & Catholics while radicals on the edge fought?

@@r.williamcomm7693 the documentary series on here actually fully explains and answers, most if not all of, your questions😊😊

@@r.williamcomm7693 In Northern Ireland the vote was given to ratepayers, those who owned property, rented social housing or owned businesses. This meant many had no vote and business owners often had multiple votes. It was not a democratic system where every adult had a right to vote. This also impacted Protestant working class people, of course, but due to the nature of the discrimination in other areas, it was not nearly as impactful as it was against the Catholic community, which was the intention. Catholics in Northern Ireland were then often discriminated against by the mostly Protestant capitalist class in terms of employment. This discrimination was aided by law as you often had to declare your religion on job applications. The law also had no protections to ensure this did not happen. This impacted Catholics ability to find gainful employment, buy property or gain capital to start businesses, impacting their ability to gain a vote, their democratic right. Catholics were also barred from attending state schools until a certain point, by which time most Catholic communities had their own Church maintained institutions, further separating the two communities. In many constituencies, especially in the West of the Bann (Derry, Tyrone, Fermanagh) which have always had a strong Catholic community or majority, the boundary lines were gerrymandered to further reduce the impact of the already weakened Catholic voting population. This was especially prominent in Derry City, where the city corporation was ran by a small Unionist/Protestant minority, despite being a majority Nationalist/Catholic, City. In housing, social housing or renting, Catholics often faced discrimination in gaining property to let. Councils would often refuse social housing to Catholic families who needed it or evict those already living in social housing to make way for Protestant families. This led to "Sit-ins" where civil rights activists would squat in the property of evicted Catholic families to help them keep their home. This discrimination in housing, again, led to the Catholic vote being diminished. All of this was done to silence the voice of a (sizeable) minority community in order to maintain Northern Ireland's position in the UK. "A Protestant county for Protestant people." As it was supposed to be. The Civil Rights movement began at the end of the 60s, inspired by movement in the US. It's aims were to bring an end to the discrimination people faced in the North, "One man, One Vote," was a popular slogan. The organisation leading this movement was the Northern Ireland Civil Rights Association (NICRA) it was a cross community group of peaceful protestors and activists. This group was proscribed by the government in Stormont. This proscription allowed the RUC (police) to violently attack peaceful demonstrations with impunity. These attacks often led to riots, which continued the cycle of violence. It was this injustice against those attempting to create a more just society that lit the powderkeg, that started "The Troubles." Which is a disgustingly condescending name.

Tensions go back before the Tudors

You couldn't go one week without hearing an Irish Republican talk about 800 years of oppression. They're still angry about stuff from history.

Better part of 1000 years

It started when the Anglo-Normans invaded Ireland in 1169

It's not that complex really, the British stole our land and persecuted our people, just like they did in many other parts of the world.

I took the blackcab tour from a person who had lived in Ballymurphy and had been 10 when the Troubles began. It was excellent

There is a journal article on this. I read it around the time this comment was made ironically.

The British aren't taught history in their schools much beyond the medieval kings, Dunkirk and D-Day. So if you're a British person wanting to get a leg up on the sins of Britain and its empire, the British Imperial War Museum might not be the best place to start.

Irish tend to believe only their version of everything.

​@@eoin79 The UK is one of the most educated countries in the world. People in the UK know more about the empire than people in third world countries with no good schools and education

​@Obvious Troll as an irishman from the North with family in England I wholeheartedly disagree. In regards to Ireland, none of my family in England were taught about Ireland in any detail and what they were taught was HEAVILY biased. For example, my cousin's daughter was taught that the British army were sent into the North because of PIRA bombings. This is interesting since the PIRA weren't formed until four or so months AFTER the British army were sent in.

@@padraigpearse1551 you won't like this one bit but I genuinely don't say this to wind you up... Whereas it's fairly easy to cover a comprehensive history of Ireland from primary school through to secondary school, that's simply not possible for the UK. Whereas most nations which were once part of the British Empire can concentrate on their own bit of history, British children would need to master all of it. A quarter of the globe from the late 1500s onwards. Indian children will learn about the Doctrine of Lapse. South Africans the Jameson Raid. Australians the Eureka Rebellion. New Zealanders the Maori Wars. Irish the Easter Rising. But British children would need to cover all of it. It's just not possible.

My dad is a McHugh, family is in Georgia.

I can't believe the news today

If U2 are you're source of knowledge on it i suggest forgetting everything, they are incredibly biased and more often than not wrong

Don’t take too much from it. It’s not totally accurate.

A very history of the centuries long conflict would be the "Lions Led by Donkeys" podcast. They did a 3 parter on the subject.

If the historians here are to be believed, nothing and no one is entirely accurate. Its too opinionated and complex. Like it or not U2 reached more people than any other source regarding the conflicts. Certainly in the US thats what most people would think of unless they are student of history.

Actually, if you go back to the last British general in charge of Ireland, during the war of independence, he literally predicted that would be Civil War in one memo to Westminster. He asked them to stop referring to protestant as to loyalist as in his own words, they were loyal only to themselves, and we turn against the empire, if it’s suited them, just as they did in 1914, when they literally except the guns from the Kaiser begin in the chain of events that led to the Easter rise in the war of independence partition, and eventually the troubles.

There was an attempt in the 1970s with the Sunningdale Agreement. It was somewhat similar though they were to vague when first presenting it. Which means both sides heard what they wanted to hear, and not the compromise they would have to make. While it started out popular, unionists eventually turned against it as it gave nationalists too much in their opinion.

Wouldn’t have been considered acceptable until the late 80s, unfortunately.

Irish Republicans have created a narrative whereby a few bits of discrimination (which were absolutely wrong) is taken as fact across the board. This is an absolute myth and anyone taking a tour between majority Catholic and Protestant areas of NI would see it for themselves. And it’s not a recent thing either. My family didn’t get a silver spoon in their mouth for being Protestant. They got no more nor less than their Catholic neighbours.

The Northern Ireland Constitution Act (1973) contains about 90% of what is included in the Belfast (Good Friday) Agreement, 1988.

The Black and Tans were no more terrible than the IRA of the time. However modern republican mythology demands a 'super villan'...

The IRA killed more civilians during that trouble then the black and tans. Black and tans is an excuse by Irish nationalists when they blow up 20 civilians

Actually the Black and Tans were fully supported by the RIC, virtually everyone a Catholic.

@@TheScaryTruthCatalyst did the IRA “ of the time”(1920-21) routinely harass, arrest and abuse fellow citizens? Do you hold a branch of the UK’s state apparatus to the same standards as an insurgent paramilitary ? The “Black and Tans” were a branch of the British state ( auxiliary police force) and should have been subject to standards of conduct appropriate to consensual policing as the UK government deemed the population of Ireland to be UK citizens/subjects but for some reason it was acceptable to the UK government that its police forces in one part of the UK could operate in a manner not acceptable on the “mainland “.

and resulted in the IRA planting bombs in mainland England including a bin in Manchester that killed a child and his dad

Good Comment. If you hated Catholics but didn't want to possibly go to Prison by joining the UVF then you joined the Loyalist UDR. It give yourself a hint of respectability. Killers with with Government issue weaponry, training and access to Brit Army intelligence files.

They also took part in the Miami Showband murders, some of them blew themselves up. They also took part in the Dublin/Monaghan bombings. Capt. Robert Nairac seems to have been complicit in both.

This attack on the UDR is as biased as it is inaccurate. Apart from the absolutely spurious linkage of it to Loyalist Paramilitaries like some systemic issue, the real reason for an extremely low Roman Catholic membership was that those brave members found themselves top of PIRA hitlists. The same reason for the RUC having low Roman Catholic membership, they became hated prime targets for Irish Republicans. Then the perversity of “they’re a sectarian force, look at the membership” started. Can’t have it both ways. The IRA caused that, they created the effect. And then their political buddies in SF cried wolf about it.

If there was so much collusion between the udr and loyalist paramilitaries then why were loyalist paramilitaries so poor at killing ira suspects? The vast majority of people killed by loyalist terrorists were catholic civilians. If loyalist paramilitaries were being fed information from security forces then why would they waste their time killing innocent people when they could have been killing the ira, who were also killing innocent people? Although undoubtedly there was collusion between both groups by some scum within the udr, the level of collusion was limited to a tiny majority, who were shunned by their colleagues within the udr.

Lesser known fact: potatoes aren’t sectarian, they didn’t discriminate between Catholic and Protestant. Just one for the wee myth builders to think about.

@@blackskull842 You completely miss the significance of the Famine. The people who were enserfed to the land were the native who had been subjugated and their land enclosed and divided up for colonist landlords. The people were put in the position where they were reliant on a weak constantly failing crop on their tiny plots of land was because of British landlordism. It wasn't just some random tragedy, it devastated the native people because of the society imposed upon them not coincidentally to it.

You can condemn the IRA regardless. There's zero need to have some credentials as an historian before condemning a group that forced their own people into becoming human bombs ISIS-style (Patsy Gillespie, for example).

Working and lower class Protestant's were no better treated than Catholics, this misconception that it was only the Catholic community that was discriminated against was peddled by Irish republicans as an excuse for the IRA to wage war against the British.

The violence is officially over but the tribalism is still in the air over there. I went on holiday there and they took me up to these big walls like you see in Israeal/ Palestine. The walls divide different tribes. It's not uncommon for projectiles or hand thrown missiles and petrol bombs over. Some of the house backing up to these walls are cover in huge cages around their homes to use as a kind of shield. It really is insane but the people who live in these zones do not want these wall removed or there will be hell. Thankfully these encounters are not as common as they once were. The guide said it doesn't take very much for it to kick off and it's usually youths who start it.

It's not a bad summation of the conflict. Starting in the 1600s is bit recent though.

​@@Mugdorna the notion that it started before then is laughable. If Ireland was colonised in the 1200s then so was England in the 1000s, so we are in the same boat....

@@jooseppielleese7156 It depends what kind of definition you are using for “colonisation” if you say that the UK colonised India, then to be consistent you have to say the Normans colonised England. The Norman King’s spoke French and most spent almost all of their time in France. France and expanding their French holdings was the main focus and objective of the Norman Kings, the Normans were incredibly oppressive of the native English as well, the castles built all over England were not there to defend England but in order to effectively occupy it. While on a smaller scale than India, this was very similar to what Britain did to India. The British Raj didn’t fundamentally change the system of government in India, it simply inserted a British colonial administration at the top.

We are taught to be ashamed in history now due to the slave trade, ignoring that we (including the Irish) ended it. Woke historians have little appetite for discussing white Vs white wars as it contradicts their views which are built on racialism.

A 16 year old Brit here, this is spot on my only frame of reference was my mother ( born at the start of the troubles) who saw it was “just terrible” without explaining the history and a substitute teacher(Irish) who when OFF the topic to talk about the troubles as he sadly experienced some of the violence The only reason I am learning about it is due to my love of history and want to explore why events like these happen

​@@AlexG-wk3nhsorry but you have to take some responsibility for that yourself, i was born at the same time and it was never off the news and bombings took place in mainland britain constantly, along with being searched along with my mums car around military areas, constant bomb scare evacuations from events as well. It wasn't hidden in any way. If Omagh just passed you by thats nobody elses fault.

Yeah it's a shame Britain continued to destroy Irish culture and heritage. Never forget.

A little naïve, if you don't mind me saying. I feel I can say it because I too was ignorant and naïve. It comes down to power in the end...who has it, who doesn't and power is rarely given freely.

Thanks for your honest portrayal of what caused the Troubles

Same. I've always felt pretty baffled by it all, hopefully this series continues to explain why people with so much in common came to fight each other so bitterley.

The thing is, they weren't "their" issues. Or at least, not in any simple sense. The British state--our country, Andrew, yours and mine--had presided over partition itself, and then permitted gerrymandering, and housing and employment discrimination, and the damn Householder Vote: all things that would not have been tolerated in England, Scotland or Wales. Then the Army, sent by and under control of that state, failed in its stated task to the extent that unarmed protesters were shot dead in the street (I assume this is going to be covered in the next video). I don't absolve the paramilitaries on either side for their crimes and atrocities, but it was our country that allowed the situation to fester. These "issues" were ours as well.

This fact often gets overlooked a lot, and the the young Ireland movement which many of the leaders and followers were protestant Irish Nationalists in the mid 19thcentury.

Also would've been good to include events like the Burning of Lisburn and the Belfast Pogrom to illustrate how northern nationalists actually experienced partition.

The Civil rights movement started out with the best intentions, but it was hijacked by the far left, I know them, the Official IRA in particular, as for Ballymurphy and Bloody Sunday, the IRA were not entirely blameless, they started of the conflict and were killing British soldiers, if they had not have done that the Paras would not have been given the excuse. I remember 1970-71 as a very young lad Paras actually having relationships with local women, many married women from the same area, including relatives of some well known SF members prominent in the 80s and sisters to IRA men, A para used to get dropped off in my street to visit his girlfriend I met him a few times as I ran in and out of her house as I played with her younger brother.

The US civil rights protests in the late 60s had a big impact on the civil rights in Northern Ireland.

So true, to get real history in the US, you must seek it out. I did because " The Plantation of Ulster" was part of my own immigrant story from Staffordshire England, to Ulster, to the pre-revolutionary American colonies in time for the Revolutionary War, to payment for service in land grants in the neutral Kentucky lands still in posession of the Shawnee to the North and Cherokee to the South. Nearly 300 years of conflict on three continents. I truly appreciate this in depth look at this part of the story.
