Abstract

The political history for Northern Ireland includs two military groups represented by the Catholic Irish Republic army and the Protestant UlsterVolunteer Force (UVF). These groups are responsible for the sactarain conflict in Sinnfein which started since Great Britain has announced its direct domination on it and cancelling Stormont parliament in 1972.
After experiencing years of violence, this violence ended in the announcement of The Good Friday Agreement in 1998 that obliged the armed groups to throw their weapons.
