Took myself off to the Imperial War Museum for their exhibition on the Troubles and just a really interesting insight into how people viewed the situation at the time and what the future holds for Northern Ireland. #TheTroubles #NorthernIreland #History

The British army was first deployed on the streets in the North of Ireland on 14th August 1969, marking the beginning of ‘Operation Banner'. It lasted until 31 July 2007 and was the longest continuous deployment in British military history. At the peak of the operation in the 1970s, about 21,000 British troops were deployed. 1,441 serving British military personnel died in Operation Banner.

The Battle of the Bogside took place from 12 to 14 August 1969 in Derry. As the annual Apprentice Boys parade passed close to the Bogside area serious rioting erupted. The RUC, using armoured cars and water cannons, entered the Bogside, in an attempt to end the rioting. The RUC were closely followed and supported by a loyalist crowd. 1/2

Operation Demetrius began on 9th August 1971. It involved the mass arrest and internment of people without trial. Armed soldiers launched dawn raids throughout Northern Ireland and arrested 342 in the sweep, sparking four days of violence in which 20 civilians, two IRA members and two British soldiers were killed. Due to faulty and out-of-date intelligence, many were no longer involved in republican militancy or never had links with the IRA.
