EpisodeJul 21, 202015m

Bang on 100 years ago on July 21st 1920, riots erupted in the Belfast shipyards. This week we investigate what was the cause and continue to look at Northern Ireland throughout the 1920s. We also introduce the Ancient Order of Hibernians, discuss pogroms and try to untangle a very complicated summer.www.thehistoryofireland.com Hosted on Acast.
