During 'The Troubles,' unionists largely responded with a mix of political activism and paramilitary action to maintain Northern Ireland's status as part of the United Kingdom. Many unionists supported the Ulster Unionist Party (UUP) and later the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) in advocating for their interests, while some aligned with loyalist paramilitary groups like the Ulster Volunteer Force (UVF) and the Ulster Defence Association (UDA) to counter nationalist movements. Their responses were often characterized by a strong emphasis on preserving British identity, leading to significant tensions and violence during the conflict. Ultimately, their actions were driven by a desire to resist any moves toward Irish reunification.
