For this reason, whereas in Derry the fighting was largely between nationalists and the RUC, in Belfast it also involved fighting between Catholics and Protestants, including exchanges of gunfire and widespread burning of homes and businesses.
Z tohto dôvodu, zatiaľ čo v Derry boli boje hlavne medzi nacionalistami a RUC, v Belfaste to boli tiež boje medzi katolíkmi a protestantami vrátane streľby a vypaľovania domov a podnikov.
