Topic 13A RAFT 24A Analyze The sources of ethnic and religious conflicts in A. Northern Ireland: The Troubles refers to a time of ethnicity and political conflict in Northern Ireland.
==== the troubles in northern Ireland really began when 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. Most of the population of Northern Ireland are at least nominally Christian.====

Conflicts in Northern Ireland were caused by religious differences. The Protestant's beliefs and Catholic's beliefs did not coincide and that lead to attacks like Bloody Sunday.

The catholics were supported by the IRA while the protestants were supported by the United Kingdom, small conflicts still take place to this day. In Northern Ireland the coutry was diveded because of the ethnic conflicts int he communities.

In terms of ethnicity, Catholics see themselves as descendants of the Gaelic people native to Ireland, and Protestants are the descendants of the Scottish settlers.
For the most part, Protestants and Catholics live in different areas, are educated in different schools, attend different churches, join different clubs and associations, play different sports and socialize seperatley. Political policies favored Protestants and disadvantaged Catholics. In 1998, the Belfast Agreement was signed and a cease-fire of sorts began, but there is still violence between the two sides.

The agreement also calls for weapons decommissioning, and establishment of a devolved power-sharing government.

In the lates bloody riots broke out in Londonderry in 1968 and in Londonderry and Belfast in 1969.

The Protestants were from the state of Great Britain and the Catholics were from the Ireland mainland

In Northern Ireland there was about three decades of violence, mainly between the Roman Catholics nationalist community who wanted to unit with Ireland and the Protestant unionist community who wanted to remain part of the UK.

One of the religious conflicts was the civil war between the Catholics and the Protestants.

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.

The Troubles in Northern Ireland started when Britain granted independence to the 26 of 32 counties in 1920 and divided the island.

The reason for the ethnic and religious conflicts in Northern Ireland is because there were many different religions that not everyone could agree on with caused arguments and conflicts.

The duration of the troubles is conventionally dated from the late 1960s and considered by many to have ended with the Belfast “Good Friday” Agreement of 1998

Most of the conflict in Northern Ireland occurs because of the unstable balance of power.

A lot of the unbalance of power comes from the British and the Northern Ireland famine.

Ireland is made up of people with different religious back grounds, and some of the religious people fight and argue because of the differences between the religions.The origins of ethnic and cultural differences lie in the fact that the two groups never integrated properly. In terms of ethnicity, Catholics in general are, or see themselves, as descendants of the Gaelic people native to Ireland, while Protestants are the descendants of the Scottish settlers in the area during the plantations. However, in the 12th and 13th centuries, the Anglo-Norman settlers in Ireland were first seen as settlers but after periods of violence and unrest, they then integrated into Irish Gaelic society. Other groups, such as the Vikings, also settled in Ireland but their descendants are not separate from Irish people generally.

The conflicts spread all over the Europe to places like England, and Mainland Europe.

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.

The biggest reasons was because of the unbalance of power and also the social classes were playing a big part.

They call for many weapons which were used all over Europe. The protestant and catholic inhabitants of northern Ireland have been fighting for many years and all is over the religion which is to be practiced in northern Ireland though the current religion is Christianity.

The biggest conflict in Northern Ireland is the conflict between the Protestant and Catholic Religion and their followers.

These conflicts were brought upon by people that are proud of their religions and want to protect their beliefs. So they fought each other to protect their religion.

In Northern Ireland, your religion would classify who you are. Communities were divided by the Catholics and Protestants.

There was a conflict between the 60% that call themselves "Irish" and the 25% that call themselves "northern Irish".

Unequal resources and unequal opportunities resulting from colonization have created conflict. The ethnic and religious strife is really a matter of an uneven distribution of economic resources and opportunities.

Ireland had many conflics revolving religous backgrounds, and what the would call them selves.

northern Ireland consists of six of the traditional nine counties of the historic Irish povince of ulster.
