Abstract
As the title is already hinting, Mary Fitzduff’s essay is specifically about the conflict in Northern Ireland. However, although the conflict in Northern Ireland has its own causes it shares a lot of traits and parallels with other non global conflicts at the end of that century. Like the majority of other similar conflicts it is related to ethnical breaches, breaches that, like in Bosnia – but unlike Euskadi or other conflicts in Central America – are rather related to religion and different historic roads than to language or race.
