 * 43 A. Identify the sources of ethnic and religious conflicts in the following nations and regions. A. Northern Ireland**:

Northern Ireland is a catholic area.

Due to minority Catholics entering and joining the church, it cause a abrupt conflict in North Ireland which caused unnecessary quarreling about religion and the religious views.

People wanted freedom from England, and once they started winning, the IRA split into 2 different groups, the free staters. vs the republicans. The conflict is the result of Protestant and Catholic communities in northern Ireland fighting about how the constitutional status of northern Ireland said that there wasn't a religion in Ireland only many. The Catholics thought that they should be recognized as such but were declined of the right. Protestants didn't like this at all.

Northern Ireland is a land of contradictions, in its land, its people, and its politics. Its story is as fascinating, as it is tragic; as intellectually compelling, as it is violent; and as complicated as it is simple. For centuries, England has governed the people of Northern Ireland and has created and perpetuated the social conditions fueling conflict and violence that have plagued the province for 30 years, or 300 years, depending on when you start counting. It’s a beautiful, pastoral, land with 40 shades of green, beneath a dark cloud of enduring anger, sadness and suffering.

The Catholics in Northern Ireland didn't like the Protestants, so there is a big dispute between them.

The Catholics and the Protestants in Northern Ireland were the source of religious conflicts. The presence of war between them was about the political and governmental affairs of the area.

The Catholics in Northern Ireland were oiginally from the Republic of Ireland and the people who were already settled in Northern Ireland were Protestants and were apart of the United Kingdom. This has caused religious and political conflicts in the region. As a result there has been much violence from this problem and over 3000 people have died since the 1960s-1990s from these violent acts.

In Northern Ireland, "//The Troubles//" refer to about three decades of violence, largely between the Roman Catholics nationalist community who sought union with Ireland and the primarily Protestant unionist community who want to remain part of the UK. In Northern Ireland there was a big religious conflict between, the Protestant and Catholic communities. There are smaller divisions between the two religions, but this was the main division. It actually led to terrorist violence. But that was only part of the conflict between the two divisions, there was much bigger problems.

In Northern Ireland, most of the main conflict is between the Catholic religion and the Protestant religion. Both religions believe that their view of God is correct and the other is wrong.

The song Sunday Bloody Sunday, by U2 is written about these events.

Northern Ireland society is, at present, undergoing a transformation, which many hope will bring to an end the deep division and conflict which have been characteristic of the region Catholics and Protestants generally live in different areas, go to different schools and participate in different events.

The Protestants didn't like the Catholics and vice-versa. It was an ethno-religious conflict in Northern Ireland from the late 1960's to 1998

There are of course many types of conflict in Northern Ireland, as is the case in any society, between classes, between those with liberal and conservative views, between different interest groups, between different regions and so on. However, the main conflict in Northern Ireland, which impinges on all other conflicts to a certain extent, is the conflict between the Protestant and Catholic communities. There are many internal divisions within the two communities but the division between them is deeper. The conflict is widely seen as synonymous with terrorist violence, but it is important to see that violence is only a part of the conflict, although it is very significant as both a cause and as an effect of division. the deaths were little but there was still to much than there had to be. there were 1000 to 5000 IRA soldiers and English forces the same. but 500 civilians died and i think that is to much.

Between 1973 and 1993, the IRA exploded 487 bombs and carried out 28 shooting attacks on the British mainland. Those actions were intended to sap the British will to remain in Northern Ireland and brought great notoriety to the IRA. Fighting continued in Northern Ireland as well, with the death toll leveling off at around 100 per year between 1977 and 1993. After 1972, counter violence from the Ulster Defense Association and the Ulster Volunteer Force became a major feature of the conflict.

Theroman Catholics want northern Ireland to be reunited with the rest of Ireland while the protestants want for it to remain part of the united kingdom.

Between 1969 and 2001, 3,526 people were killed by Republican and Loyalist paramilitary groups and by British and Irish security forces.

Since the signing of the "Belfast Agreement" ( or Good Friday Agreement) in 1998, most of the paramilitary campaigns in the Troubles had declare cease-fire ended the war.

On April 10, 1998 Northern Ireland and Britain signed the Belfast Agreement and a ceasefire occurred. The IRA to show they did not the English rule bombed England, 2 people were killed in it. In 1916 the Easter uprising tore apart Ireland, Northern Ireland and the UK. Riots broke out between the Catholics and Protestants in the late 1960's in London-berry.

As a consequence of the worsening security situation, autonomous regional government for Northern Ireland was suspended in 1972. 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.

Northern and Southern Ireland's conflict has been over Catholic and Protestants and has been a constant problem since the early 1900's.

There was a fight of religions that killed many people who faught for either Catholics or Protestants which cause over 3,000 deaths

The lack of a common identity has brought about divided loyalties as the Protestants wish to remain under British rule while the Irish Catholics wish to be reunited with the Republic of Ireland.

The Catholics and the Protestants got into a conflict about religion, which killed many people, and the problem is still happening, though it is not as drastic now.

The new autonomous Northern Ireland was formed from six of the nine counties of Ulster , being four counties with unionist majorities, and Fermanagh and Tyrone two of the 5 Ulster counties which had nationalist majorities. In large part unionists, at least in the north east region, supported its creation while [|nationalists] were opposed.

The Troubles in Northern Ireland really began when the British granted independence to the 26 of 32 counties in 1920 and partitioned the island, dividing the Irish people and imposing a different British identity on the North.

The Troubles was the name for the decades worth of violence in Northern Ireland over the dispute of England being heavily involved with the region's governmental issues.

Violent conflict between rival ethnic groups sometimes breaks out spontaneously, but "ethnic conflict" is mostly a struggle between rival organizations seeking to maintain or gain control of state power. To understand ethnic conflict, we must understand the role ethnicity plays in mobilizing, structuring, and managing such organizations [|7]. Further, we must understand how leaders use ethnically divisive strategies to mobilize political support.
