The goal of the unionist and overwhelmingly Protestant majority was to remain part of the United Kingdom. The goal of the nationalist and republican, almost exclusivelyCatholic, minority was to become part of the Republic of Ireland. This was a territorial conflict, not a religious one.
The main reason was the constitutional status of Northern Ireland.Unionists wanted it to remain the part of UK as they were mostly Protestants and considered themselves British
The nationalist were mainly Irish and thus wanted to be a part of Ireland
Religious diffference also became one of the reason for conflict as they were Catholic and wanted to be a part of catholic nation
The employment opportunities were very low for the Catholics as compare to the protestants, as most of the business owners were protestants

Answer:
Unionists/loyalists, who were mostly Protestants, wanted Northern Ireland to remain within the United Kingdom. ... The conflict began during a campaign to end discrimination against the Catholic/nationalist minority by the Protestant/unionist government and police force.
