Abstract

Analytical narrative of events (1968-1971) in the conflict over Northern Ireland's independence from Great Britain, including an attempt to isolate causes for the situation's deterioration since 1968. (NCJRS)

The issue of Ireland's partition, Lord O'Neill's false supposition that the protestant majority would allow the catholics to assert their rights, the rise of Ian Paisley and his followers, and the tactical unity of the IRA (Irish Republican Army) are discussed as causes of political deterioration.
