Ireland Conflict

[TheMythOfSisyphus]

British commander of King's Own British Regiment in 1976 giving interview. Interesting stuff, anyone got any more info on what went on in Ireland during that time? I didn't even know there was a conflict in Ireland period. Oh, and what was it about in the first place?

Looks like Ireland has had a pretty interesting history that I wasn't even aware of.

Man, its such a long and in depth historical and modern story! Its mad! Its very interesting though. As a Lebanese person who lives in Belfast, Ireland, it majorly interests me aswell, I hope you get to learn alot about it on this forum!
