What is the difference between the IRA and PIRA?
They stand for the Irish Republican Army and the Provisional Irish Republican Army. Throughout Irish history, there have been several groups using the name IRA and there have been a number of splits resulting in new groups being set up. PIRA arose from one of those splits in December 1969, from a dispute about how to respond to violence in nationalist areas and whether to recognise the governments in Dublin, Belfast and London. PIRA wanted to be more radical in its response, than some of the older members of the IRA at that time. the PIRA is just a special group of the IRA type this URL for more http://iraforever.wetpaint.com/page/The+IRA

Why did the Irish Republican Army form?
The reasons there was terrorism in Ireland are long and complex and can be traced back through over 800 years of Irish history. In short, Ireland was under British rule and wanted independence and in 1922 most, though not all, of Ireland got independence. The part that remained under British still wanted independence and some there resorted to violence to achieve that and others there who wanted to stay under British rule also resorted to violence. Between 1969 and 1994 in particular, there was a lot of violence, but a peace process was started and the terrorism stopped and since the signing of what is known as the Good Friday Agreement in 1998, things have been much more peaceful.

Which Irish Republican Army? The IRA under Michael Collins had the goal of securing the independence of Ireland from Britain, and establishing Ireland as a Republic. The Provisional IRA, Continuity IRA, Real IRA, Irish National Liberation Army, etc. had the goal of trying to force the six counties of Northern Ireland into a union with the rest of Ireland. It should be noted the majority in Northern Ireland remain opposed to union with the Republic of Ireland, and that talk of a "reunified" Ireland is utter nonsense, as Ireland was never unified to begin with.

What was the gaol of Irish nationalists?
The goal of true Irish nationalists was to create a United Ireland. This means removing British occupation from northern Ireland to create one free republic. It was pursued through violence by some such as the provies/Provisional Irish Republican Army (the true Ira) but is now mainly pursued through peaceful means such as the political party Sinn Fein. However there is still some conflict in Northern ireland by dissidents (IRA breakaway groups) but the majority of nationalist Irish people want peace.
