abstract
  • 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. The day began with an Irish Republican Army (IRA) operation to assassinate the Cairo Gang, a team of undercover agents working and living in Dublin. Twelve were British Army officers, one a member of the Royal Irish Constabulary and the last a civilian informant. Later that afternoon the Royal Irish Constabulary (RIC) opened fire on the crowd at a Gaelic football match in Croke Park, killing fourteen civilians. That evening, three IRA suspects in Dublin Castle were beaten and killed by their captors, allegedly while trying to escape. Overall, while it's events cost relatively few lives, Bloody Sunday was actually a great victory for the IRA, as Collins's operation severely damaged enemy intelligence (especially important since the Irish were fighting a guerrilla war against them) while the later reprisals did no damage to the guerrillas but increased sympathy for the Irish at home and abroad.
