"Troubles" refers to a period of conflict in Northern Ireland that lasted from the late 1960s to 1998. It involved violent clashes between different groups, primarily the Nationalists, who wanted to unite with Ireland, and the Unionists, who wanted to remain part of the United Kingdom. This conflict led to thousands of deaths and injuries, deeply affecting communities and families. The Good Friday Agreement in 1998 helped to bring an end to the violence by establishing a framework for peace and cooperation. This agreement aimed to address the political issues and promote reconciliation between the Nationalists and Unionists, paving the way for a more peaceful future in Northern Ireland.
