Bombing of Dublin in World War II : ウィキペディア英語版 | Bombing of Dublin in World War II
The first bombing of Dublin in World War II occurred early on the morning of 2 January 1941, when German bombs were dropped on the Terenure area of south Dublin.〔"Houses Wrecked in Dublin Suburb", ''The Irish Times'', 3 January 1941.〕 This was followed, early on the following morning of 3 January 1941, by further German bombing of houses on Donore Terrace in the South Circular Road area of south Dublin.〔"More Bombs Dropped on Dublin", ''The Irish Times'', 3 January 1941.〕〔"Damage in Dublin Yesterday", ''The Irish Times'', 4 January 1941〕 A number of people were injured, but no one was killed in these bombings. Later that year, on 31 May 1941, four German bombs fell in north Dublin, killing 28 people, with the greatest damage in the North Strand area.〔"Bombs in Dublin This Morning: Many Killed", ''The Irish Times'', 31 May 1941〕 However, the first bombing of the Republic of Ireland〔For the technical difference in the names of the Irish state, see Names of the Irish state〕 had taken place several months earlier, on 26 August 1940, when the German Luftwaffe bombed Campile, County Wexford, killing three people. ==Background== At the start of World War II, Ireland declared its neutrality and proclaimed "The Emergency". By July 1940, after Germany's military conquests of Poland, Denmark and Norway (Operation Weserübung), as well as France and The Netherlands (Battle of France), Britain stood alone, with her Commonwealth and Empire against Germany. By May 1941, the German Air Force had bombed numerous British cities, including Belfast in Northern Ireland during "The Blitz". As part of the United Kingdom, Northern Ireland was at war, but the independent state of Ireland was neutral. German area bombings aimed at the British Isles were reduced after the launch of Operation Barbarossa in late June 1941.
