The War for #IrishIndependence was left incomplete with #NorthernIreland voting on the #MajorityProtestant lines to stay part of #GreatBritain. This left i significant #IrishCatholicMinority to stew about Irish sovereignty for about fifty years leading to #TheTroubles.

Unless you’re permanently moving within the bounds of your own echo chamber, you can’t shake the fact that history deems you a pariah. 🤔

Two #IRA splinters were active during #TheTroubles. Initially larger, by the time of the #AldershotBombing in England, on #ThisDayInHistory in 1972, #OfficialIRA was noticeably smaller. This attack killed seven and wounded 19; the only military fatality was a Catholic chaplain.

One of the worst atrocities of #TheTroubles came on #ThisDayInHistory in 1978, when the #ProvisionalIRA set incendiary bombs at #LaMonHouse near Belfast. Broken payphones and a #UDR checkpoint slowed the #Provos' warning calls. 12 were killed, 30 injured, many being badly burned.

On #ThisDayInHistory in 1972, the #BogsideMassacre in #Derry (on another #BloodySunday) was done by the UK military. A protest against #internment was fired on, with 14 killed. This helped #IRA recruitment and 1972 became the most violent year of #TheTroubles in #NorthernIreland.

The Troubles : La polémique. Jouer avec le feu (et l’histoire) 🛑 Incarner l'IRA sur un plateau ? "The Troubles" divise joueurs et victimes. Entre devoir de mémoire et traumatisme, le débat est lancé.

Refaire l'Histoire ou jouer avec le feu ? 🔥

Le jeu "The Troubles" permet d'incarner l'IRA et ça ne passe pas DU TOUT en Irlande. Pédagogie ou voyeurisme ?
