Answer 1

 The overlapping social difference in Northern Ireland leads to the bitter ethno - political conflict.

 In Northern Ireland Christians were dominant. Its population is divided into two major sects - 53% of Protestants and 44% of Roman Catholics. The Protestants were supported by Unionists who wanted to remain with UK, which is predominantly Protestant. But Catholics demanded for the unification with Republic of Ireland, which is a predominantly Catholic. And they were supported by Nationalists of Nationalist parties. Hundreds of civilians killed in the fight between Unionists(forces of UK) and Nationalists. In 1998,, the UK Govt and the Nationalists reached a peace treaty. But However 1000s were badly affected which makes it a bitter experience.
