Conflict in Northern Ireland

Originally uploaded by KFen.

I have finally gotten the newest page uploaded regarding the Northern Ireland Conflict History.

Although there is one page uploaded regarding the conflict in Northern Ireland there is still lots more to be added so please check back soon.

Northern Ireland has seen some extremely bad days in its time and is classified as some as “the black North” due to its dark history over the many years.

I have finally got round to start articles on Northern Ireland history and although they are basic at the moment as time goes by I will get more in-depth with each topic from the Plantation Settlers into the North to the Northern Ireland conflict.

If there is any information that you would like to add to the Northern Irish section please feel free to contact me below using the comment box.

As I promised I’ll be adding more photos of Ireland and some interesting spots.

The people of Derry marched in their thousands to mark the 34th anniversary of Bloody Sunday which happened on 3oth January 1972.

On Sunday the 30th the Parachute Regiment of the British Army opened fire on a Civil Rights March in Derry shooting dead 13 unarmed civilians.

To do this not one person has been found guilty of the 13 murders or has the British Government admitted that they had done wrong on that day.

If you don’t know much about the Vikings in Ireland then I recommend a read of our Vikings invade Ireland page which gives a brief overview of the events leading up to the invasion and how it turned out for the Vikings, as you probably guessed, not good.

As we know Irish History is a very complex topic which dates back to 8000BC. I think its only fair that I update our site in sections covering the surface of each topic involved in our rich history. The latest to be added is Irelands Ancient History which describes how Ireland began as a settlement for new arrivals to the island.
