I cannot comment on the sentiments of either community. There may or may not have been para-military activity on that day: What is undeniable was that innocent people were killed by the British on that day.

The marchers, organised by the NICRA (Northern Ireland Civil Rights Association) were protesting against internment in Northern Ireland. This is where the security forces arrested and imprisoned many people - mostly Catholic nationalists (many innocent) - without trial or any kind of charge against them.

There have been many days which have been called Bloody Sunday. In Russia, there was one on the 22nd of January 1905. In Ireland there was one on the 21st of November 1920 and another on the 30th of January 1972.
Eugene McGeady Glasgow - Bloody Foreland is in the north west of Donegal, a county in Ireland. It is the nearest point to the USA in Donegal and gets its name from the legend of the giant who was slain by the fairies and his blood trickled down the famous foreland hill. Recent photography tells you it is the sunset on the rocks that gives a red hue.
The first Bloody Sunday took place on November 21, 1920. The second one took place on January 30, 1972.
The whole of Ireland used to be part of the United Kingdom from 1800-1920. In 1920, the British Government agreed to let Ireland leave, because of the protests and unrest in the country. However, there were more protests among the large Protestant population who wanted to remain part of the United Kingdom. As a compromise, Ireland was divided. The majority of Ireland became a new country, and Northern Ireland was kept as part of the United Kingdom, even though it had a sizeable Catholic population who opposed this. Northern Ireland was given a large amount of autonomy and had its own Parliament and Prime Minister. However, since there were a slightly larger number of Protestants than Catholics, the unionists always held a majority in the Parliament, and the "majority rules" nature of it meant the republicans were frequently excluded. Nethertheless, Northern Ireland was relatively stable up until the 1960s. The growth of unrest in Northern Ireland led to more British troops being sent in to help the police deal with The Troubles, as they became to be known. This didn't always work out, especially at Bloody Sunday in 1972. Soon afterwards, the British Government abolished the government of Northern Ireland and placed it under direct control (although Northern Ireland was still represented in the British Parliament). The Northern Ireland government was recently restored, with the unionists and republicans sharing power.
