Bloody Sunday (1921)
Bloody Sunday or Belfast's Bloody Sunday was a day of violence in Belfast, Northern Ireland, on 10 July 1921, during the Irish War of Independence. Over a four-day period, 22 people were killed, 16 of them on 10 July itself. Another 70 people were badly wounded and 200 houses were destroyed.〔Parkinson, Alan F. ''Belfast's Unholy War''. Four Courts Press, Dublin 2004. ISBN 1-85182-792-7. p. 154.〕
==Background==
Belfast saw almost 500 people die in political violence in the period 1920–1922. The violence in the city broke out in the summer of 1920, when—in response to the Irish Republican Army (IRA) shooting dead a Royal Irish Constabulary (RIC) detective in nearby Lisburn—7,000 Catholics were driven from their jobs in the Belfast shipyards and over 50 people were killed in rioting between Catholics and Protestants.〔Parksinon, p. 317.〕
However, violence in Belfast waned until the following summer of 1921. At the time, Irish republican and British authorities were negotiating a Truce to end the war, but fighting flared up in Belfast. On 10 June, the IRA ambushed three RIC constables on the Falls Road, fatally wounding one. Over the following three days, 14 people lost their lives and 14 were wounded in fighting in the city, including three Catholics who were taken from their homes and killed by uniformed police.〔Parkinson, p. 137-183.〕
Low-level attacks continued in the city over the next month until another major outbreak of violence that led to "Bloody Sunday".
