On November 25, 1921, Belfast was in the grip of severe sectarian violence, culminating in the deaths of 27 people over a week of intense fighting. This period of unrest was part of a broader escalation of conflict in the city, which saw a total of 109 fatalities by the end of that year. The violence reflected deep-seated political and religious divisions, particularly amidst the ongoing Irish War of Independence and the partition of Ireland. These events underscored the profound societal tensions and the human cost of the political changes unfolding in Ireland during this tumultuous era.
