Bloody Sunday, which occurred on January 30, 1972, in Derry, Northern Ireland, resulted in the deaths of 14 unarmed civil rights protesters shot by British soldiers. This tragic event intensified the conflict in Northern Ireland, leading to increased tensions between nationalists and unionists and significantly escalating the Troubles. It also prompted widespread outrage, both domestically and internationally, and galvanized support for the Civil Rights Movement. The incident ultimately contributed to a shift in public opinion and increased calls for change in British policy towards Northern Ireland.
