Were the IRA Equivalent to Today's GLOBAL "TROUBLES?"
Violence in the Troubles
The conflict in Northern Ireland during the late 20th century is known as the Troubles. Over 3,600 people were killed and thousands more injured.
During a period of 30 years, many acts of violence were carried out by paramilitaries and the security forces. From street battles to car bombs, the evolution of these methods of violence greatly influenced the tactics and impact of the conflict.
