'''The Troubles''' was a period of ethno-nationalist conflict in [[Northern Ireland]] which also affected parts of the [[Republic of Ireland]] and the mainland [[United Kingdom]]. The conflict began in the late 1960s and is usually deemed to have ended with the signing of the [[Good Friday Agreement]] in 1998. The Troubles saw violent clashes between nationalists, who were mostly [[Catholicism|Catholic]], and unionists, who were mostly [[Protestantism|Protestant]]. The main aim of the nationalists was to see Northern Ireland join the rest of Ireland as a single independent nation, while unionists wanted Northern Ireland to remain part of the United Kingdom.

==Background==
The roots of the Troubles can be traced back to the partition of Ireland in 1921, which created the independent [[Irish Free State]] (later the Republic of Ireland) and Northern Ireland, which remained part of the United Kingdom. This division was largely along sectarian lines, with the majority of the Catholic population residing in the south and the majority of the Protestant population in the north.

==Key Events==
Throughout the Troubles, numerous significant events occurred, including the [[Bloody Sunday (1972)|Bloody Sunday]] massacre in 1972, where British soldiers shot unarmed civil rights protesters in [[Derry]], and the [[Belfast]] "Good Friday Agreement" in 1998, which was a major peace agreement.

==Impact==
The Troubles had a profound and lasting impact on the society and politics of Northern Ireland and the surrounding areas. More than 3,500 people were killed and thousands more injured over the course of the conflict. The violence also led to significant economic and social damage.

==Resolution==
The [[Good Friday Agreement]], signed in 1998, marked the formal end of the conflict. It established a devolved power-sharing government in Northern Ireland and set the terms for cooperation between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, as well as between the Republic of Ireland and the United Kingdom.

==Legacy==
The legacy of the Troubles continues to influence events in Northern Ireland and the rest of the UK. Issues such as sectarianism, community division, and political instability remain challenges.
