The Northern Ireland conflict, often referred to as "The Troubles," traces its origins back to the early 20th century and the complex history of the region.

Rooted in deep-seated religious, political, and cultural divisions, this protracted conflict has shaped the landscape of Northern Ireland for generations.

The seeds of the conflict were sown in the early 1900s, as the island of Ireland struggled for independence from the United Kingdom.

The Government of Ireland Act of 1920 partitioned the island, creating the Irish Free State (later the Republic of Ireland) and retaining Northern Ireland as part of the United Kingdom. - https://irelandfocusguide.com/blog/when-did-the-northern-ireland-conflict-begin/?unique_id_icpvd5oo
