And here we are today. No longer primitive.
Well most of us anyway.
And yes, NI is western.
It's certainly not eastern.
i mean it didn't hold the stereotypes of western society
Such as?
when people imagine the west they don't imagine a war zone
True enough.
Depends on what era.
in the 1900s then yeah maybe. It wouldnt really be unheard of in europe particularly.
Like in germany with the berlin wall among other things.
when i think of ni ireland and how people have evolved politically i think of the 60s to 80s
I dont think it would be comparable to the middle east though.
1972 was the bloodiest year in the troubles
well
1 sec
Kk
just found this as a reference
in 1972 476 people died due to the troubles
I still wouldn't say its as bad as the middle east though.
idk
but in 10 countries and a total of 100 killed I think.
before and during the troubles ni was a total police state
100 over 10 countries
Didnt they use children as shields?
Yeah but thats just in 2016
who
The police.
back then
the ruc were brutal
So I've heard.
they raided peoples homes and beat them
have you heard of the battle of the bogside?
Yeah the name rings a bell but I forgot what it was exactly.
well basically the apprentice boys (protestants) held a march in derry as they would annually
they started flicking pennies at the catholics living in the bogside
so some people retaliated with rocks
and then the ruc was called in they started fighting people
