Bloody Sunday refers to the events of January 30, 1972, in Derry, Northern Ireland, when British soldiers shot and killed 14 unarmed civil rights protesters. This tragic incident significantly escalated tensions during the Troubles, a period of conflict between nationalists seeking unification with Ireland and unionists wanting to remain part of the UK. The massacre galvanized public opinion against the British government and increased support for the Irish Republican Army (IRA), marking a turning point in the conflict. Its legacy continues to influence discussions about civil rights and reconciliation in Northern Ireland.
