Irish history - Bloody Sunday



Bloody Sunday was a day of violence in Dublin on 21 November 1920, during the Irish War of Independence.  In total, 31 people were killed – fourteen British, fourteen Irish civilians and three republican prisoners.

Ireland became an independent country in 1922, after the Irish War of Independence, and Northern Ireland decided to remain part of the United Kingdom.
