The Irish Republican Army’s Struggle The IRA or Irish Republican Army. The IRA was founded in 1917 and their main goal was to unite Northern Ireland (which belongs to the UK) with Ireland. They tried to do this through suppression, violence and, assassinations to cause fear and panic. They usually targeted British governmental figures but have also targeted agents from British intelligence agencies like MI5 (Irish Republican Army And Censorship). In 1969, the IRA split into the Official IRA…

The Irish Republican Army (IRA) has existed as an organization for nearly 100 years. Particularly as terrorist groups go, that is impressive; in fact, “long-standing terrorism expert David Rapoport argues that 90 percent [of terrorist groups] last less than a year.” The case of the IRA, therefore, is significant to the discussion of how terrorism ends by, providing an essential context for a variety of reasons. This paper will specifically treat two of those reasons: 1) its centenary duration…

Chapter 1: Introduction 1.1 General Background (Framework): The Irish Republican Army, or IRA, fought the English rule over Northern Ireland in the twentieth century and aimed to unite Northern Ireland with Southern Ireland to form the Republic Ireland. It stemmed from the times of William of Orange in 1690, where William’s Protestant Army defeated Catholic King James II in the Battle of the Boyne[1]. In the years leading up to 1703, thousands of Catholics were deported and relocated to live in…

I will talk about terrorism in the United Kingdom from 1969–1998. We will focus on an Irish republican paramilitary organization that called themselves the Irish Republican Army. The IRA sought to liberate Northern Ireland from the UK and to join with the Irish republic. They carried out many bombings during a period colloquially known as the Troubles. Their prime target was members of the British Army and officers of the Irish national police force. They fought a guerrilla warfare against the…

order to combat slavery. The first Republican president was Abraham Lincoln who led the nation through a civil war over this issue. After the war, the mainly republican presidents did their best to try to heal the rift between the north and the south. However, since they believed that they had resolved the issue of slavery, they refocused their attentions on unions and businesses. Teddy Roosevelt was a very pro-business, pro-bank, and pro-tariffs. He and Republicans after him pushed for more…

Utilizing Spoiling Opportunities as a Terror Strategy: The Irish Republican Army When an act of terrorism occurs, it can often seem like random, mindless violence to the victims and the bystanders. It can be surprising, therefore, to realize that terrorism is actually a very strategic decision. Terrorism can be very effective, used usually when a group is not strong enough to directly confront and force a policy change from a state actor, choosing instead to persuade their target by showing…

websites, many, many websites. They're all over the place. But for $10, okay? Now everything about Obamacare was a lie. It was a filthy lie.

Varying between left Democrat and right Republican. Coming into this assignment I feel that I am a moderate. On some topics I agree with Democrats and on other topics I agree with Republicans. For example I agree with Republicans about taxes. On the other hand I agree with Democrats about abortions. Im general I tend to be more liberal but with many conservative ideals. The first issue is abortion. I agree with the Democrats that abortion should be legal. Republicans, on the other hand, think…

In picking my three parties I chose Republican, Democrat and Libertarian. I chose these three parties because they are the dominant parties and I would like to know more about them. Libertarian was a new word to me and therefore I also chose them. I choose to cover education and crime. I chose these topics because they seem to be a common debate and no doubt in the media. The republican party believes in “Strict adherence to the original intent of the Declaration of Independence and United…
