- 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 (organised under the Derry Citizens' Defence Association), and the Royal Ulster Constabulary (RUC) along with local unionists.
The rioting erupted at the end of an Apprentice Boys parade which was passing along the city walls, past the Catholic Bogside. Fierce rioting broke out between local unionists and the police on one side and Catholics on the other. Rioting between police and Bogside residents continued for three days. The police were unable to enter the area and eventually the British Army was deployed to restore order. 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.

I've never seen this clip before. My father is in it talking about the CS gas. He became one of the worlds leading experts on treating its effects. He appeared on several TV programs, including "Tomorrows World" discussing this and the lack of knowledge into the long term effects. To this day there has never been research carried out on this. Considering the amount that was used and the anecdotal evidence of high cancer rates in the Derry area, maybe its time this was looked at.
This is a great wee find, brings it home how bad it was, i was born in the Creggan and was 9 at the time remember going to school in the bogside and it was a riot a day, going up the new road and the cs gas, very scary times and its important we never for get.
I was born on the Waterside and am ashamed at how Catholics were treated . It doesn’t excuse the slaughter by the RA and the Protestant retaliation but the elite played both sides off against each other and kept us all downtrodden. I escaped to England but the scars only disappeared in recent years.
@@mikematthews2750 so very true Mike, i have been in London 38 years, so many kind and wonderful people who only wanted to live in peace, thank god in my life i have met so many people from all around the world, i just hope one day that old hate is gone and people see they have so much more in common.
What a fantastic documentery. Love the music at the end. Magical.
Je n'ai jamais vu ces images d'archive et pourtant j'en ai regardé beaucoup . C'est très emouvant et révoltant de voir les conditions de vie des irlandais coupés de la république d'Irlande .
Ireland belongs to the Irish people. One Island one Ireland. Give Ireland back to the Irish , King Charles III our day will come, Tiocfaidh ár lá .
Southern Ireland now belongs to the dark skinned immigrant.
Northern Ireland remains British
and what would happen to the substantial proportion of the population of a "united" Ireland who aren't nationalists?

A riot from almost 100 yrs ago,down the time tunnel..
This happened in August 1969, or about 55 years ago
What is the stupidity of our having to submit identification to watch this? Obtuse, counterproductive nonsense. It's supposed to be of the Battle of the Bogside not of mass murder and rape.
It's out of my hands, Eoghan. Someone has obviously complained to youtube and there is very little I can do about it. I've tried contacting someone at youtube but that is nearly impossible to do.
Actually, I've just found out that youtube has also age-restricted my Bloody Sunday video. After doing a bit of looking around, I've now lodged two appeals with youtube - let's see how they go?
Seems like these days on yt if you don't have a dick between your legs, but call yourself a woman you don't have the right to speak or think. And that's not intended to hate on anyone it's just an observation.
No such place as Derry City Ireland, the city is called Londonderry in Northern Ireland
Off you go Muppet
Derry. Was, is and soon (very) please God will be 🇮🇪
Orphans from the great fire of London. Immigrants at best.
Absolutely 👏👍
It’s important history remembers this day in its full context.... British Soldiers are today on trial for their actions that day... Unfortunately for the protesters that day they also got used as human shields by the IRA to shoot just as indiscriminately as individual British Soldiers in the carnage that day... too many atrocities in Northern Ireland are unfortunately manufactured for propaganda purposes. Obviously every Murder is equally as wrong as the next and the truth should be told if still possible to any relative fighting for the truth in any murder... Any truth process related to the conflict unfortunately is doomed for failure on the basis that a lot of atrocities in this Country are used as a Political tool.... The truth would be a lot easier to find if we didn’t have compulsive liars and Murderers asking for the truth to be told.
The IRA didn’t use human shields on Bloody Sunday and that day was 3 years after this event
Both sides did wrong but the Good Friday Agreement should have drawn a line under IRA / UFF brutality and Army brutality.
@paintedman1000 you haven't a clue what you're talking about
Talking shit, the murderer's were the police and their loyalists proxies. Thankfully the truth is coming out. The loyalist carried out the first murder's of the " troubles". There was no IRA at this point.
From the British government's own report.
We have concluded that the explanation for such firing by Support Company soldiers
after they had gone into the Bogside was in most cases probably the mistaken belief
among them that republican paramilitaries were responding in force to their arrival in the
Bogside. This belief was initiated by the first shots fired by Lieutenant N and reinforced by
the further shots that followed soon after. In this belief soldiers reacted by losing their
self-control and firing themselves, forgetting or ignoring their instructions and training andfailing to satisfy themselves that they had identified targets posing a threat of causing
death or serious injury.
In the case of those soldiers who fired in either the knowledge or
belief that no-one in the areas into which they fired was posing a threat of causing death
or serious injury, or not caring whether or not anyone there was posing such a threat, it is
at least possible that they did so in the indefensible belief that all the civilians they fired at
were probably either members of the Provisional or Official IRA or were supporters of one
or other of these paramilitary organisations; and so deserved to be shot notwithstanding
that they were not armed or posing any threat of causing death or serious injury. Our
overall conclusion is that there was a serious and widespread loss of fire discipline
among the soldiers of Support Company.
should get to use tear gas as in the usa !
