  • The Battle of the Bogside was a very large communal riot that took place during 12–14 August 1969 in Derry, Northern Ireland. The fighting was between residents of the Bogside area (allied under the Derry Citizens' Defence Association) and the Royal Ulster Constabulary (RUC). The rioting erupted as Irish nationalists threw stones and nails at the Apprentice Boys parade which was passing along the city walls, past an interface with the nationalist Bogside. Fierce rioting broke out between loyalists and nationalists and the police attempted to separate the two sides, concentrating on the nationalist Bogside. Rioting continued for three days in the Bogside. The police were unable to enter the area and the British Army was deployed to restore control. The riot, which sparked widespread violence elsewhere in Northern Ireland, is commonly seen as one of the first major confrontations in the conflict known as the Troubles.
