The IRA (Irish Republican Army) killed soldiers as part of their campaign for Irish independence from British rule. They saw the British soldiers as occupiers and legitimate targets in their armed struggle. The conflict between the IRA and the British army was a key aspect of the Troubles, a period of intense violence in Northern Ireland from the late 1960s to the late 1990s.

Why were the British soldiers marching on Bloody Sunday?
The marchers were originally civil rights protesters. This was then hijacked by the IRA and turned in to an armed assault on the soldiers who were on peace keeping duty. The end result was pretty much what one would expect when an amateur army (IRA) tried to take on professional soldiers face to face. Subsequently there have been 3 inquiries. The first two held while memories and witnesses were fresh (and protected) cleared the army. The third held many years later and with no protection left for witnesses blamed them. Subsequent to this photographs have emerged of Martin McGuiness ( a "witness" who blamed the soldiers) proving he was IRA a bombmaker and a weapon supplier to those attacking soldiers -
