Question description
Northern Ireland has a long history of violence between various
groups that possess disparate political and religious objectives and
argue, primarily, over who should have governmental control of the
country. Today, however, this violence has ostensibly come to an end,
and Northern Ireland is relatively peaceful. For this discussion,
please address the following questions:
How did the dispute in Northern Ireland originate? Who were/are the key groups in this dispute? What were two key events in this conflict during the twentieth century? How was peace eventually achieved? Would you consider the conflict a “revolution” or a series of terrorist actions? Why? Your initial post should be at least 250 words in length. Support your
claims with examples from the required material(s) and/or other
scholarly resources, and properly cite any references.
