As part of the United Kingdom; the civil unrest was first viewed as an 'in-house' problem; the reality (as was to be revealed), was deep social unrest. This is why troops from the 'mainland' were initially sent to support the RUC police force who could not cope.

Why did the troubles in Northern Ireland start?

Most Protestants want to remain WITH Britain and not become part of a united Ireland. Irish nationalists want to unite the country - hence the troubles. The division of Ireland into the overwhelmingly Roman Catholic republic and the north, which remained part of the renamed the 'United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland', dates from 1921. In that year Ireland was divided, following a vicious civil war. The most recent 'troubles' have been ongoing since 1969 (with breaks). Joncey


Who fought in the argument between Ireland And North Ireland?

That is a complex question to answer in detail, as it has over 800 years of Irish history as part of it leading to the troubles that began in 1969. The argument was not really between Ireland and Northern Ireland, but between people within Northern Ireland with different views. In simple terms it was between people who wanted to be separate from the Republic of Ireland and ruled by Britain, and people who wanted to be totally independent of Britain and have a united Ireland. Some people pursued their respective cause with violence, though it has to be said that that was a minority of the people. The majority of the people, while being of one opinion or the other, pursued their cause peacefully or just had their opinions but carried on their lives as normal.
