1886 Belfast riots
The 1886 Belfast riots were a series of intense riots that occurred in Belfast during the summer and autumn of 1886.
==Background==
In the late 19th century Catholics began to migrate in large numbers to the prosperous Ulster Protestant city of Belfast in search of work.〔Marianne Elliott, (2000), ''The Catholics of Ulster: A History'', London: Penguin, p. 322.〕 By the time of the riots Catholics made up over one-third of the population of the city.〔Elliott (2000), p. 323.〕 This migration brought with it sectarian tensions as Catholics and Protestants competed for jobs.〔 As the minority, Catholics found themselves discriminated against in this area and were kept at the lower end of the labour market.〔Elliott (2000), p. 324.〕
At this time there was a real possibility that the British government would establish a devolved Irish parliament (see: Irish Home Rule Movement). Belfast Catholics believed that a devolved Irish government would be sympathetic to their situation and end the discrimination. Belfast Protestants believed this too and feared the end of their privileged position.〔
In April 1886 Prime Minister William Gladstone introduced a home rule bill. On 8 June the bill was defeated in the House of Commons.
