  1. I have a query: The republicans I northern Ireland were Catholics and the unionists Protestants. If a British Catholic soldier was deployed to northern Ireland, did he side with the Protestants as he was of the country that supported the Protestants or with the catholics, who were his co-religionists?

  3. ​@AndyB1286 What kicked things off originally in northern Ireland was the battle between the Protestant King William and the Catholic King James. William won and the Catholic community never accepted that. What is tragic is that an event that happened in the sixteenth century should continue to divide the population of Northern Ireland centuries later.
