I'm sure there's gonna be plenty of correction suggestions, but let me make it clear this is for things that are actually wrong in the video, not "You should've said X" or your opinion.
Corrections/Disclaimers
0:34 - Yeah I used the St. Patrick Saltire, sue me, but while not being official, it's the only good neutral flag for Northern Ireland.
5:54 - As said in the video, those aren't official flags, because there aren't any official flags for the IRA. Just a bunch and bunch of different unofficial designs that have many different meanings and variants and I had to settle on one.
1:28 - That's modern day Northern Ireland, which is actually ONLY 6 of the 9 counties of the region known as Ulster. I meant to fix that when I realised one late night, but clearly forgot.
2:15 - The bill passed in 1914, not 1912

@@noco7243 yeah but the Falklands have nearly always been British though
@@stalker5299 Nah, son. Before it was taken over and occupied by you wingless, bipeds. Pinguins ran the island empire. Then the humans came and took it over, destroying all the evidence of the emperor pinguin's rule. When you see a pinguin coming you better cross to the other side of the road if you know what's good for you fleshie.
The irony is when you actually look into the earliest known English and Irish cultures the beaker civilisation as they are called. English and Irish have the same common ancestors; who are likely to have come from the Spanish Iberian peninsula first, settling the Netherlands, before eventually coming to the British isles.
All this trouble was fought by people who are essentially the same people but developed very differently due to being separated by a sea and migrations into England such as the Romans, Anglo-saxons and Vikings.
"British mismanagement" is an awfully understated way of saying "intentionally letting millions of people starve to death" which is an awfully understated way of saying "genocide"
It wasn't intentional IE the government didn't care if they lived or died but it was certainly mismanagement.
Haha yeah he's like echoing the bullshit that the British said at the time it happened , "oops I accidentally exported tons of grain" , mismanagement haha fucksake
@@---675 Man , stop sugar coating it , when the man in charge of Famine aid , calls the famine a "gift from God" , that tells you all you need to know about their intentions ! Grain was exported by the Tonne man , landlords profits had to be mantained at all times , just stap sugar coating it man ha
Man it's very simple , if a blight strikes then all other available food sources should be diverted to keep people alive , not continued to export for profit , tonnes of grain left the country , as pure greed landlords couldn't fathom losing profits , and watched as valleys fell silent except for the cries of the last starving child , stop dressing it up any other way , if a famine strikes , and the only available food source is continued to be exported , for profit , which could have easily saved millions , then that is intent , and intent is genocide !
Bahhhhh you call them "Irish merchants" , ok man let me explain something to you , while England dominated ireland , there were basically no Catholic landowners, and certainly none exporting grain !!! They were planted English landlords , perhaps their family had been running the land for generations yes , but they saw Ireland as a means of profit , and spent most of their time in London etc , occasionally visiting Ireland to check up on their profits ! They were English landed gentry ! Not "Irish merchants" , stop re-framing shit haha fucksake
And this man , (the video also mis-stated how many died / left, during the famine , 2 million died and 2 million left , feature history must have read an English history source for this video , whatever ) when that level of destruction is happening , all "market values" should be dropped ! If an entire nation is starving , everyone should be coming together , and every single possible course of action should be taken to keep people alive ! NOT exporting tonnes of grain, protecting the market , if everyone fucking dies , there is no market , Jesus man just consider how fucked your argument is
Just stop defending shit you know nothing about man , you're obviously googling policy from the time, but man if England ever really cared about Ireland , and wanted us to be a harmonious member of the Union , like Scotland for e.g , they would have done much much more to help us , but they accelerated the problem and called it a blessing , just fuck off with your dumb shit man, "they had to protect the market", jeeeesus you are talking shit
you are fooling yourself , I wonder why ? Are you trying to make yourself feel better ?
Look man personally I don't hold England to its past , the way is to move on , BUT , I believe historical events should be told truthfully too ! Not sugar coated to help comfort English people reading back on it

This intro is basically why The Troubles started in the first place.
The Troubles started because Loyalists were beating and raping Catholic children so the IRA decided to protect their people after the British Army took the violence to a whole new level. Don't try and be a smartass in front of people who lived through it big man.
Ur Ma What Loyalists are you talking about? Catholic priests have more than their fair share of child rapists, if you want to go down that argument. The IRA tortured and murdered innocent civilians. The methods they used were completely barbaric, and were a complete waste of lives. I sympathise with the nationalist, anti-colonialist impulse, but the IRA was/is a disgusting organisation that brought shame on Irish Nationalism. The British army and loyalist paramilitaries are not morally clean either, but have some self-awareness. There’s blood on both sides and that’s why this conflict is so stagnated
@@ohwellwhateverr "Some self awareness"??? When THE FUCK did the IRA toss grenades at little fucking girls and when THE FUCK did the IRA walk into a city and gun down FOURTEEN innocent kids? Where are these civillians you talk about? What "barbaric" tactics? Interrogating? British Army done that. Torturing? UVF done that and A LOT more extreme than anything the IRA did. "Self Awareness" Holy good fuck. You're definitely not from this country and if you are then check yourself out lad. You're clearly a bitter Hun who dislikes the Republican cause. The fact that you said Loyalist Terrorists had self awareness is fucking disgusting. The UVF were basically serial killers. The IRA targeted Paramilitaries and the armed forces. The UVF drove about, picked up Catholic teens and tortured them for weeks. Do you know what the UVF's answer was for Warrenpoint? A tactic military operation carried out by the IRA? Their answer was to find a young Catholic civillian and shoot them dead. "Self Awareness"... Honestly, fuck off. What a deluded comment.
Ur Ma An off duty soldier and his daughter were killed by the IRA. One of many incidents showcasing that needless whining about which side was worse is useless.

@Slavic Celtic Don't forget, they're also the ones who put those protestants there in the first place. It's like sending your cousin to live in your neighbor's basement, and then building a wall in the middle of his kitchen and shooting his kids because your cousin punched him in the face. Then you convince everyone on the block that your neighbor is a terrorist for wanting you to leave his house, and eventually you settle on a compromise where you continue to own his basement. And all the while everybody seems to forget the time that you took all the food out of his house and his wife starved to death, and instead it just turns into a meme about how much he likes potatoes.
@@Sharkmac42 Large numbers of protestants have been living in Northern Ireland from hundreds of years before The US existed and from times when Europes borders looked completely different. Protestants had freely moved around the kingdom of Dalriada which comprised of The north of ireland and western scotland for hundreds of years before even then. Your analogy is painfully simplistic and just plain wrong.

I suppose systemic discrimination keeping Catholics from getting good jobs or holding political office is just seen as oppressive and tyrannical then as opposed to being oppressive and tyrannical.
Yes, you would be correct? It is, in fact, oppressive and tyrannical?
you have given the literal textbook definition of oppressive and tyrannical lmfao. not sure how else you expected it to be seen
@@mearchy3570 I think they mean that it's more than that? But I'm not sure. This is a strange, strange comment.
I mean it’s certainly oppressive and tyrannical. I’m being sarcastic and trying to point out how ridiculous the idea that it was merely perception on the part of the Catholics is. Northern Ireland’s gerrymandering and housing council policies turned it into a one party state that prided itself on oppressing a third of its population. Not that I sympathize with the IRA - but there’s a reason NICRA campaigned so hard for basic civil rights and this is it.

@@paulocostasbaby5659 Britain by that point had Ireland. Explain that.
only people in British Isles would name something like a goddamn civil war as ''Troubles''
craby man it more complex than a civil war it has elements of a revolution elements of a peaceful civil rights struggle and elements of a civil war
The British probably called that (my family included because I'm British), because it was the only war to occur within the United Kingdom since the Irish Revolution in the 1910s and early 1920s. And most the UK wasn't directly involved in it and thus people would probably just sit and think, when reading about in the Newspaper "Ahh bother, Northern Ireland really does have lots of Troubles, doesn't it? ".
And a good chunk of us don't agree with the name British isles. Ireland is not British.
Crabby man everyone calls it the Troubles? If you haven't noticed there's been quite a lot of conflict in Irish history. That's why people commonly refer to them as the troubles, so their easily discernable from other periods of fighting in Ireland. Get over yourslef

...”leading to the unfortunate death of four civilians”.
Obviously this is a very brief “light touch” video designed to give the uninitiated some background to the poorly-understood Troubles of 69-98. However I’d really encourage people to read much more about the conflict, the people who died and the motivations of various people who became involved. There’s a danger that if people just watch these bite size videos and do nothing else, the conflict will seem glib or inconsequential. The people killed during the Falls Curfew (from Wiki with a couple of notes from me):
Charles O'Neill, a 36-year-old Catholic civilian, died on 3 July after being knocked down by a British Saracen APC on the Falls Road during the initial rioting.According to eyewitnesses, he walked out on to the road and attempted to flag down the APCs, but the lead vehicle sped up and "deliberately" ran him down. One eyewitness said that soldiers prodded O'Neill in the ribs and that one of them remarked: "Move on you Irish bastard - there are not enough of you dead". O'Neill was an invalided ex-serviceman. (note: this means he was actually a former British soldier/sailor/airman retired on health grounds!)
William Burns, a 54-year-old Catholic civilian, was shot dead, likely from a ricochet, at the front door of his home on the Falls Road on 3 July. He had just finished chatting to a neighbour when he was shot in the chest. The shooting took place at about 8:20pm, almost two hours before the curfew was announced. A pathologist said that the bullet had likely been a ricochet.
Patrick Elliman, a 62-year-old Catholic civilian, was shot in the head on Marchioness Street on the night of 3 July and died of his wounds on 10 July. He had walked to the end of the street in his night clothes "for a breath of fresh air". Elliman was taken away in an ambulance. However, it was searched and re-routed by the British Army, which meant that it took thirty minutes to reach the Royal Victoria Hospital a few hundred yards away. That night, British soldiers broke into Elliman's home and quartered themselves there for the night.
Zbigniew Uglik, a 23-year-old of Polish heritage who lived in England, was shot dead at the rear of a house on 4 July. He was an amateur photographer and had been taking photographs of the riots. Uglik was in a house at Albert Street, at the edge of the curfew zone, and decided to fetch another camera from the hotel where he was staying. A British Army sniper shot him as he climbed over the back wall of the house, shortly after midnight.
Another 60 civilians suffered gunshot wounds.
It’s important to emphasise that Northern Ireland had, almost since its inception, operated under a law which enabled the authorities to stop an inquest from happening if it were thought not conducive to the good of the state. Most civilian deaths at the hands of the army were not investigated with any rigour and even today, some inquests from the early 1970s are only just happening.
I hope that people read more into the deaths of people during the Troubles to highlight some of the human costs of the conflict, whether they were British Army soldiers, loyalists, republicans or civilians. Everyone was someone’s loved one.
Wingin’ It! Paul Lucas it appears you did some research however you seem to have missed the part where it said the IRA killed MORE catholic civilians than the army did. You must be quite a biased person who is only capable on condemning one side, I’d go as far to say that you seem to be justifying murders carried out by the IRA. Of course you would disagree but that is what your comment suggests.
Thank you for this ❤🇮🇪
@@Peter-200 Eye for an eye, a Protestant for a Catholic.
Peter let’s not forget that over all out of everyone killed by the IRA it’s estimated that 34% were civilians and out of everyone killed by the UVF 84% were civilians (roughly) The IRA targeted loyalists, police and army, whereas loyalists drove around and picked out the first catholic they could find and shot them dead. John Bingham ran a UVF gang that killed 5 innocent Catholics, the provies killed him and they responded by killing an arcade owner, 2 church goers, and petrol bombed two young catholic families out of their homes. Johnny Adair wore Celtic shirts/ patches in his car when driving in catholic areas when he was choosing what innocent catholic he wanted to kill. Michael Stone chucked hand grenades into a crowd killing one volunteer and 2 civilians with a blatant disregard for the men, women, and children mourning there. And he only done it after learning that the army wasn’t there and that the PIRA weren’t doing a show of strength. The IRA done horrible things but nothing compared to what loyalists had done, the IRA were an army with a cause, loyalists were murdering drug gangs, just ask Jim gray and his son, oh wait... ;) Tiocfaidh ár lá mo chara

This comment section is more troubled than the troubles
+ The Troubles nearly 20 Years ago anyway. Most people have moved on from this conflict and I am glad that Northern Ireland has now, for nearly 20 years had the devolved Government it has and should have been given on. It is worth noting that Northern Ireland did have its own parliament from 1921, until 1972, when it was disbanded by the UK Government. They transferred the nation to direct control from London, England. The office of Governor of Northern Ireland was also abolished.
I don't know why though! And it was another 26 years, before the current incarnation the Northern Ireland Assembly was first elected on 25 June 1998 and first met on 1 July 1998.
just making a joke lad calm down.
I can understand why they would disband the parliament in Northern Ireland, giving that they couldn't control the people killing each other.

Bloody Sunday is also not given proper prominence or explanation in this video. It was the marquee atrocity of the 1970s by some distance. Not only in its execution, or brazenness, but by the fact the people who committed murder were able to lie, and actively encouraged and enabled to lie by the state.
The deceased were blamed for their own deaths and slandered beyond any comprehension. The real legacy of Bloody Sunday wasn’t the 13 dead (it was not 14; the Savile Tribunal accepted at its outset a submission from John Johnston’s own family that his injuries on the day could not be linked to his death some months later - be careful when using Wiki as a source!). The real tragedy was the lies and blackening of Derry’s people. Nobody who died had done anything wrong. Substantial evidence points to individual Paras wanting to let loose some live rounds regardless of the events of the day, and it’s too simple to say “well stones were thrown and this provoked the Army”.
Stone throwing was a performative and ritualised act by 1972. Stones would be thrown, the Army would bring in water cannon or rubber bullets and chase you up the street - rinse and repeat. It is not pleasant to have missiles thrown at you but equally it is not a defence to murder.
The people killed on Bloody Sunday posed absolutely no threat whatsoever to the soldiers who killed them and it is wrong to omit this from the explanation in the video. That is a fact borne out by the most expensive tribunal in British history and it ought to have been included.

Scuba Steve obviously you know very little about the conflict. Seeing how it was the USC, that “helped loyalists burn down catholic houses”. Also the IRA surrendered in 1998 to the British state, and in turn the RUC. Which is apart of the British state.
"Surrendered" after getting what they wanted in the GFA. Not much of a surrender when you're given terms is it? That's called a compromise.

"Potato famine"
It was a genocide.
a b How?
True
@Johnon please do some research. You say that we shouldn't have rely on potato though you convienaintly forgot the seizure of irish chieftain lands which directly violated a official treaty. which then led to the irish having limited land as the English owned most of it and rent was too high for very poor land. Due to the high rent only small parts of land were bought by irish peasants. there was not a lot of land to grow for example corn. so the irish were basicly FORCED to use potatoes as there was not enough land to feed a family using corn but potatoes grow more densely so the small amount of land would be more efficient. Do some fucking research please as this spreads misinformation
A is chosing lumpers and B is chosing kirpinks
@Johnon did u not read what I wrote... Lumpers grew more densly which was benificail as we Irish had very little land compared to Europe

Well when you are getting shot at and bombs set off against you everyday, I'd like to see how you would react, whatever the historic rights or wrongs for northern Ireland's existence.
How troubling
I keep getting my plantations and rebellions mixed up "Well if your lot would stop invading us for five flipping minutes there wouldn't be so much would there" Derry Girls. Also ik thats not the quote word to word but you get the jist
"They're hanging women and children for wearin' of the green!"
I love how you tell us history in a funny way
In truth, there were a great many more than one million people who died in An Gorta Mor ( the Great Famine).
Ireland was united across the majority of the people, even among many Catholic and Protestant factions, just prior to the famine, and were determined to free Ireland once and for all from British involvement altogether. An Gorta Mor occurred on the verge of the country declaring that independence, and at the point where they had the strongest front ever in regards to seeing it through.
After the famine, between those who died and the rest, who immigrated, the population of Ireland has been around a quarter of what it was prior to the event, and has remained so since. The potential to fight for independence has never been anywhere close to what it was prior to the famine.
"The IRA were bad guys in rainbow six so yeah" - kid
Would you agree that both the IRA and the British Army did horrendous acts? and should both be blamed and criticized for them?
@@gone8913 well, same as the chechen war, both sides are evil
Yeah the entire thing was just shite
Kinda reminds me of the decolonization of kenya where both sides where shite
Just a shite time all together
@@gone8913
the issue with the "both sides are just as bad" argument is that one sides is actively imposing its regime on the other.
The Taliban are also really fucking bad, as was the Viet cong, but both are products of western involement and their continued existence is dependant on continued western involvement.
unsurprisingly when you have a people desperately trying to fight off foreign powers things get really ugly real bad, especially when said foreign powers have little legitimate basis to be there in the first place.
If a group of people invaded my country, mistreated my people, and started telling me what to do... I'd never stop fighting, so I can't blame them.
So you mistreat them back?

Love your videos! The topics, the visuals and your trademark wit that permeates your scripts! If I made history videos I would try to emulate you.
Wow! As a man from Northern Ireland I'd really like to thank and commend you for this video. This has surely got to be one of the most objective and fair videos on this topic on RUclips. Thank you for sticking your head over the parapet to address this issue and for bringing this awful period to people's attention. If I met you personally, I'd buy you a pint!
Do you know any good, objective, documentaries on "the Troubles"? I want to learn more about it. I watched this video and learned a bit but he talks a little fast so it can be hard to follow and process everything.
Hard to say off the top of my head. I seem to remember that the BBC doing a good series on it a number of years back. The troubles is such a nuanced issue so it's often tricky to find something objective. Whilst it's a bit of a cop out, the Wikipedia article is a great starting point to learn more.
I watched this and the part two for project ideas 10/10 would reccomend. It made it interesting and fun.
From a Mexican American 🇲🇽🇺🇸, I have a tremendous love & respect for the 🇮🇪 people and culture.
absolutely disgusting
Viva Mexico from the Irish
@@bellissimo999 disgusting? What's disgusting?
San Patricio battalion. Mexicans never forgot.
I love how they are just called "the troubles". Like we could of just called WW1 and WW2 "the troubles" as well
Please don't kill me qwq
Yes but i don't think thousands of people died daily during the troubles
We called the second world war "the emergency"
They call WW2 The BIG troubles 😂😂
@lolsean never heard it called "the hunger" only ever the famine

Who would win: The Kingdom of Ireland vs. 0 potatoes?
J F 0 potatoes almost won, but then everybody moved to me, and I took them in. Now, i feel like my country's more Irish than fucking Ireland
It probably is.
JustWHY? The crown owned all live stock and fisheries so thats how you starve you need to realise that we never had a famine all of the food was taken a sent to England the reason people starved
JustWHY? During the famine britian banned people from fising
JustWHY? Firstly, during the 1840s the records show that catches from fishing went through the floor and secondly, those that were, like much of the food produced in Ireland (there was a lot by the way) was for sale and export.
Uh, it's called a *spud* thank you very much.
great quality video content, i do have one small comment if it hasn't been mentioned already, the term "Ulster" refers to an older region including 9 counties, you show the current outline of Northern Ireland when you use the term Ulster, which only included 6 of the 9 counties
It’s not “an older region” it is a current region of Ireland. Ireland is 4 provinces including ulster which is 9 counties including the 6 currently under uk jurisdication (a gerrymandered state to ensure a loyalist majority)
Thank you so much I didn't go through the troubles I'm to young so this really helps me understand what my parents and grand parents went through
Wow. I cannot believe you tried to hold a neutral stance on bloody Sunday. The protesters didn't "throw rocks", they were all unarmed and posed no threat even the British government admitted this year's later. Innocent civilians were massacred as they ran away and some where even murdered as they attempted to aid their wounded friends and families.
You made a good informative video, but I found it absolutely sickening how quickly you glossed over some of the atrocities committed by the British army.
He has to stay as neutral as possible, to avoid backlash from everyone and their pet dog.
Dan Isrusski right, I understand that and I appreciate it. But bloody Sunday in particular isn't something that can viewed as neutral without blatant fabrications. (Which is what he did when said the protesters attacked police first)
The protesters might have attacked first, but murdering them was way too harsh of a response. But think about how much of a controversy this is. No matter what Feature History does or says, someone will be angry - like you are. And THANK YOU for not becoming an angry irrational troll in your response good *gender noun*
Dan Isrusski they didn't attack first though, which is my point.
I fully agree that it's necessary for him to remain neutral, but I'd rather he didn't use a lie to do so (although, maybe it was an honest mistake). Ooooh thank you for respecting my gender identity. I do identify as "gender pre noun" ;)
The entire conflict seemed uneccesary from my point of view. No one in the complete right, but some more than others. The victims were, as always, the innocent.
free dairy? thank god I was about to run out of milk
😂 ya,, back in 1984 I was 16 , just lift school , and got a job on a milk round,,! Worked on the round for 10 +years, delivered milk to both sides,! Was great times as a milkman,! Through it was working 7 days a week,! I was born 23rd May 1968 from northern Ireland UK, 🤝♥️🇬🇧

SUUUper late- but “Derry Girls” brought me here. The show takes place towards the end of The Troubles and considering all I know of this time in Irish history is “Bloody Sunday” by U2, I wanted- no needed- to know more! So thanks man, can’t wait to watch it all and learn some new shite! Lol!!
At the beginning you call that area "Ulster" that is not Ulster that is 6 counties out of Ulster
Added to the corrections
Feature History I think you glossed over how important internment was. You also reduced the civil rights violations the Catholics endured to merely "segregation" not really a fair analysis
The video as a whole is already 21 minutes long, there's only so much I can talk about
Feature History Still though you probably should have spent more time on some of the more important elements. Such as the civil rights violations,bombay burnings and internment
lovablesnowman I agree, talking about the Norman invasions wasn't ass important or influential in the outbreak of violence as the Bombay burnings, internment or the 5 demands
As someone from Derry this is a really good video

That was the most accurate impression of an Irish person I've ever heard
Queen of England just died and I won't lie, this was the first place I went lol.
british mismanagment is a weird way of saying hypocritical deliberate genocide
it was not a genocide. genocide implies intention.
ruclips.net/video/BIiAI1oRt88/видео.html
I hope you have the same opinions on immigration from Africa and the middle east ethnically taking over the Irish in Ireland? because if you don't then you're a hypocrite. When the native Irish is 5 per cent of the country's population will that change your view or is it racism?
@@gone8913 what does that have to do with the Irish troubles?
@@leuropaische It is due to one of the main reasons for all the hatred is the English and Scottish are said to have wanted to racially take over and due to that the Irish hate the British, so all I was saying is it should be the same for any other racial group that takes over ethnically because either way it is a genocide.
It wasn't a deliberate genocide
You did this so right.....Thank you for not being completely oblivious to one side because honestly it happens a lot here.
Amazing music throughout

well done job. i must say well done
Great video, as a Republican Irish descent lad the Republican catholics and IRA are often portrayed as the obvious bad guys but you’ve done a great job of showing the segregation they faced and the Protestant/ British aggression
Hey, great video! I'd love to see your take on the 70's in Italy, the so called "Anni di Piombo"(which translates as "The Leaden Years), a period of civil unrest and conflict between communist revolutionaries, neofacists and the general public. Keep up the great work!
that was fairly unbiased well done just left out some important stuff from 1920 -1960
British Mismanagement? What a funny thing to call an intentional genocide.
Well the Irish are a very funny race, sir

'But it would climax in '69.' Comedy gold. All that aside though, great to get a deeper understanding of how the IRA and the Irish independence movements operated and began.
