Question 2

Instructions: Identify the following term(s). 
the Irish Republican Army

Accepted Answer

The Irish Republican Army (IRA) refers to several paramilitary organizations that have existed since the early 20th century with the shared goal of ending British rule in Northern Ireland and creating a united Ireland. The original IRA fought in the Irish War of Independence (1919-1921) against British forces, which led to the partition of Ireland and the creation of the Irish Free State, now the Republic of Ireland.

Over time, the term "IRA" has been used to describe different groups that splintered from the original organization. The most notable of these is the Provisional IRA, which emerged in the late 1960s during a period of intense sectarian conflict known as "The Troubles." The Provisional IRA conducted a campaign of guerrilla warfare, including bombings, assassinations, and kidnappings, aimed at ending British rule in Northern Ireland.

The Good Friday Agreement of 1998, a major peace accord, led to a significant reduction in violence and the decommissioning of weapons by the Provisional IRA. However, some dissident groups using the IRA name have continued to engage in paramilitary activities, although they are not supported by the majority of the Irish population.

The IRA has been designated as a terrorist organization by several countries, and its actions have been a subject of controversy and debate. The legacy of the IRA is complex, with some viewing its members as freedom fighters and others as terrorists.
