Ireland has had various wars during its history, like the war of independence (21 January 1919 - 11 July 1921) and the Irish civil war ( 28 June 1922 - 24 May 1923) amongst others. You may also be referring to the troubles in Northern Ireland which started in the late 1960s running through to the 1990s. That was not your standard war, as often perceived by those who are not fully familiar with it. It was mainly isolated terrorists events, like individual shootings or bombings, not hand to hand combat in open warfare. There could be days, weeks and even months between incidents. It was primarily confined to Northern Ireland, and not throughout Ireland, which is another common misconception. There were relatively few incidents outside of Northern Ireland, with some being in other parts of Ireland and some in Britain.
