Analyse why the troubles of 1968‐1998 took place? The troubles were a series of violent incidents occurring for 30 years between 1968 and 1998 in Northern Ireland (also including bombings in the England). The troubles ended only in 1998 when the Good Friday Agreement was signed. Analysing why the troubles happened is a vastly complex question, this essay will attempt to analyse the troubles by assessing who was to blame at the time of the troubles, and hence the reasons behind the troubles. The four main groups involved in the clashes are as followed: Loyalist and Nationalist Paramilitaries, the ‘authorities’ and the Civil Rights movement.
“1968 was a turning point for the United States.” The decade of the 1960s was a major turning point for the US. 1968 was the year of the Tet Offensive and the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. There were major reforms, events, beliefs, and movements that began to strengthen and form. The Civil Rights Movements started to develop and many prominent figures such as Martin Luther King Jr. supported and demanded equal rights regardless of color and race. The Vietnam War and the draft also sparked major protests around the United States specifically from college students who resented The System or The Man.
However, most people looked badly upon religions outside of their own. One of the most close-minded settlements in America was New England, this was both a good and a bad thing as it brought the settlers closer together, but also pushed outsiders away. The Middle Colonies accepted many more churches, as there was a greater amount of ethnic and religious diversity. This shows the importance of religion by highlighting how it brought people with common religions together to form colonies and gave incentive to people who lived in England to immigrate to America for more religious freedom than they previously had. Colonists were provided with even more reason to practice their religion and continue their work in America for a better, more liberated life.

Source 4 is suggesting that since the Attlee government had come into power sorted out many problems in Britain. Whereas source 5 is showing that the methods the Attlee government used were not very effective. Finally Source 6 reveals that the Attlee government had done a lot to help the citizens. From source 4 it shows that the Attlee Government was remarkable as it states “our children are growing up in a land of opportunity”. This reveals that because of the Attlee Government, children are living much better lives and an education.
Nash helped people remember all those who influenced the revolution that were lost in history amnesia. Such influences were common farmers who created mass mobs and in short did almost “civil” acts of militia men. As Nash wrote in the secondary source, the men “turned the city upside down,” meaning Boston. In a letter written by Governor Morris in New York, writes his comments on the “mob.” It goes as follows,”the heads of the mobility grow dangerous to the gentry, and how to keep them down is the question.” Riots were all along the north and seemed to have affected New York in this pressing matter on taxations. In Nash’s article, many Aristocrats feared the impact the riots would have on other groups such as those that are slaved.
Labour are bound inescapably to a single powerful interest group by ties of history, political dogma and financial 10 dependence. Labour have demonstrated they cannot speak and dare not act for the nation as a whole. They have governed Britain badly. SOURCE 3 (From Jim Callaghan's memoirs, Time and Change, published 1988) f 15 Our vote in the election of 1979 was, in fact, higher than it had been nearly five years earlier. This demonstrated how much steady understanding and support existed for what we had tried to do.
The KKK quickly adopted violent methods. The increase in murders finally resulted in a backlash among Southern elites who viewed the Klan's excesses as an excuse for federal troops to continue occupation. The organization declined from 1868 to 1870 and was destroyed by President Ulysses S. Grant's prosecution and enforcement under the Civil Rights Act of 1871. In 1915, the second Klan was founded, it preached racism, anti-Catholicism, anti-Communism, nativism, and anti-Semitism. Some local groups took part in lynchings, attacks on private houses and public property, and other violent activities.
However, traditional attitudes towards witchcraft began to transform in the early 14th century; a combination of residual fear from the devastation of the Black Death in 1347-1349 and loss of the sovereign Catholic church helped to propel a renewed fear of witches. Rumor panics in central Europe painted witches as "plague spreaders" as well as a threatening body aimed to destroy the "Christian kingdoms through magic and poison." (Gibbons) Witch cases increased momentum steadily throughout out the 14th century; first mass trial of witches transpired in the 15th century. In 1532, the Holy Roman Empire established "Carolina Code," a basic law code that imposed heavy banalities on witchcraft. The first waves of Reformation stuck during the beginning of the 16th century and led to a decline in trials.
The RUC was unable to enter the area and the British Army was deployed to restore control. The riot, which sparked widespread violence elsewhere in Northern Ireland, is commonly seen as one of the first major confrontations in the conflict known as the Troubles. The name change debate as well as many other bastions of unionist identity in this city is pivotal to the thinking of Gregory Campbell. Love him or loathe him, you cannot detract from the fact that he is expert at defending his viewpoint in an articulate and obstinate way. So, what does he think would happen if the unionist community suffered, for example, a 'defeat' on the name change issue?
