ENGELSK OVERSÆTTELSE
In 1922 the Irish Republic became independent, but the Northern part of the island did not become a part of the new state. In the six north-eastern counties there was a majority in favour of remaining part of the United Kingdom, because the majority/main part of the citizens were Protestants. Most Irish people are Catholics, but in Northern Ireland many Scottish and English Protestants have emigrated during time. They did not want to be a minority in a united Ireland, dominated by the Catholic Church.
Since 1922 Northern Ireland has been govern by the Protestant population. However, religion is not the only thing separating the two groups. There are also important social and economic differences; there are several poor people among the Catholics and also many unemployed.
In Londonderry in August 1969, a large group of young Catholics decided to throw stones against a Protestant demonstration; this was the beginning of three days with disturbances, called the battle of Bogside. There had been conflicts in other cities as well, and the English government had to bring the British army into action to avoid a civil war.
At first, the British war was looked at as the protectors of the Catholics, but after a short period of time many thought that it was making the Protestant be in power. It gave the IRA an opportunity to recruit more followers, and after the establishment of the Provisional IRA, which supported the use of violence, there were many bloody conflicts. One of the most bloody was “Bloody Sunday” in 1972, where English soldiers killed 13 Catholics.
After a greater debate the English government decided to suspend the Northern Irish Parliament and introduce direct govern from London. The situation has not changed much since 1972. It is impossible to find a solution that both parts are willing to accept.


DANSK VERSION
Den irske republic blev selvstændig i 1922, men den nordlige del af øen blev ikke en del af den nye stat. I de seks nordøstlige grevskaber var der flertal for at forblive en del af Det forenede Kongerige, fordi størstedelen af befolkningen var protestanter. De fleste irere er katolikker, men i Nordirland er mange skotske og engelske protestanter indvandret i tidens løb. De ønskede ikke at være et mindretal i et forenet Irland, der var domineret af den katolske kirke.
Siden 1922 har Nordirland været styret af den protestantiske befolkning. Religionen er dog ikke det eneste, der skiller de to grupper. Der er også vigtige sociale og økonomiske forskelle; der er flere fattige blandt katolikkerne, og også flere arbejdsløse.
I Londonderry i august 1969 begyndte en større gruppe katolske unge at kaste sten mod en protestantisk demonstration, dette var indledningen til tre dages uroligheder, som kaldes slaget om Bogside. Også i andre byer havde der været sammenstød, og den engelske regering var nødt til at sætte den britiske hær ind for at undgå en borgerkrig.
I begyndelsen blev den britiske hær betragtet som katolikkernes beskyttere, men efter en kortere periode mente mange, at den snarere holdt protestanterne ved magten. Det gav IRA mulighed for at rekruttere flere tilhængere, og efter oprettelsen af Det provisoriske IRA, der gik ind for brug af vold, kom der snart mange blodige sammenstød. Et af de blodigste var ”Bloody Sunday” i 1972, hvor engelske soldater dræbte 13 katolikker.
Efter en større debat besluttede den engelske regering at suspendere det nordirske parlament og indføre direkte styre fra London. Situationen har ikke ændret sig meget siden 1972. Det har vist sig umuligt at finde en løsning, som alle parter har villet acceptere.
