1960s–1990s conflict in Northern Ireland
"The Troubles" was a violent conflict that lasted from the 1960s through the 1990s between groups in Northern Ireland with opposing views about whether the region should remain part of the United Kingdom or become independent. It matters historically because thousands of people were killed, it deeply divided communities, and its eventual resolution through the 1998 Good Friday Agreement became a model for peace-building in other conflicts around the world.
