The IRA in the First Years of the Troubles. Irish Republican Army and its Newly Founded Fractions in 1969-1972
Halama, Vojtěch ; Soukup, Jaromír (advisor) ; Skřivan, Aleš (referee)
Aim of this bachelor thesis is an analysis of the rise of the Provisional Irish Republican Army (PIRA) in the first years of the Troubles. Discussed events are put into context of history of the Irish republicanism and an appropriate attention is paid to the change in IRA's approaches in the 1960s. The core part of the thesis follows up a period between 1969, when a split in organisation occured and the PIRA was created, and July 30-31 1972, when British operation Motorman ended the period of PIRA's greatest strenght. The purpose of this thesis is to "explain" early Provisional IRA, to analyse its role in political and ethnic conflict and especially to find the causes of its truly impressive rise, mostly caused by brilliant exploitation of potential of the Troubles. This thesis also contains a chapter that deals with activity of the "Official" IRA (OIRA).
