- The Good Friday Agreement is one the most celebrated peace deals ever signed. In April of 1998, its 34 pages helped put an end to a 30-year conflict that killed over 3,500 people. The deal was a major achievement, but the road to its signing was an arduous one.
The 70s, 80s and 90s had seen a number of peace talks and negotiations , but thanks to extremists on both sides these had always broken down. The challenge was maintaining a Paramilitary ceasefire long enough for political talks to bear fruit. Ending a conflict as bitter as this one, would not be easy.
In the last episode we examined how all sides of the conflict had become exhausted by the violence. Now, in this final episode of our Troubles series we’ll explain the timeline of events that lead to Good Friday, how the deal worked and why Northern Ireland’s peace remains fragile to this day.

Thanks for watching! Please remember to be polite in the comments. Any comments that we consider to be offensive or aggressive will be removed.
Coming from an institution with the word Imperial in it's name, this was an incredibly balanced, fair and well-done series; and as someone with Irish parents and grandparents, have thoroughly appreciated. Thank you.
The Imperial War Museum in London is, by far, the best museum of any type I've ever visited. This channel is fast becoming one of my favourite on RUclips.

This series has helped me understand the political side, as well as both sides of the armed struggle, of the so-called 'Troubles.'
Excellent series. Very helpful to understand the conflict. Great job!
Fantastic series. The more people engage with this often neglected subject, the more chance there is for lasting peace
Superb series and I’ve learnt a great deal, the IWM approaches the subject matter with care and balance.
As an American I've never seen a more comprehensive looks at the troubles than this video, keep the videos coming!
Great series. Would love to see more in this fashion on other topics. 3-parts felt "right".
Outstanding presentation and series. Thank you again for your hard work. It has expanded my knowledge of this conflict. Thank you again.
Great series. Been meaning to find something to watch to give me a better understanding of “The Troubles” as an American. I had a history teacher some years ago with Irish background who taught us about the height of The Troubles and I’ve always been interested in learning more.
Excellent break down of WTF happened in Ireland. I learned a lot and wish the Irish a strong and vibrant future.
Great series - one of my favourites.
A really helpful and interesting summary of the path to where we are now. Behind all the injustice, oppression, violence and shattered lives are so many good, honest hard people who just want to get on with their lives
Top Notch series! Good information for a short series. Thanks 👍
I've enjoyed this series, well done.
Very interesting thank you. I'm so glad you shed a light a light on this important chapter on British Northern Irish and Irish History.
This has been a truly exceptional series of videos.
Brilliant balance in the telling of the story, no bias, really appreciated.
