The Threat of the Civil Rights movement and terrorism on Great Britian

The Civil rights movement by the Nationalist became a threat to the country and hait not been for British intervention, the breakdown and destabilization of the government would have occured. The Nationalist claims that they were being discriminated upon and under-representated were completely false and were just a ploy to challenge the British law and rule. The Nationalis sought unification of Ireland without British influence but the majority of Northern Ireland wanted to remain part of the British country.

Additionally, instead of engaging in productice bilateral talks within the existing parliament and the British governement, the IRA sought and accepted support from terroristic groups such as the Ulster Volunteer Force (UVF) and the Ulster Defense Association (UDF). Acts of terrorism against the innocent in Ireland became a problem and instead of resolving the issues peacefully, the IRA reverted to violence supported by non-legitimate groups.
