  • Senator Edward Kennedy and the “Ulster Troubles”: Irish and Irish-American Politics, 1965- 2009
    206 Historical Journal of Massachusetts • Summer 2011 The United Kingdom and Ireland Today 207 Senator Edward Kennedy and the “Ulster Troubles”: Irish and Irish-American Politics, 1965- 2009 ANDREW SANDERS Editor’s Introduction: In 1921 Ireland was partitioned into two sections: Northern Ireland was composed of the six predominantly Protestant counties of Ulster, while Southern Ireland was made up of the remaining twenty-six, predominantly Catholic counties. Both Northern and Southern Ireland remained part of Great Britain. The next year, Irish nationalist leaders negotiated two treaties with Britain that created the Irish Free State, which had “dominion” status within the British Commonwealth but fell short of full independence. Northern Ireland chose to opt out of the Irish Free State, choosing instead to remain fully a part of the United Kingdom. “The Troubles” refers to approximately three decades of violence characterized by the armed campaigns of Irish republican and Ulster loyalist paramilitary groups. The duration is conventionally dated from the late 1960s to the Belfast “Good Friday” Agreement of 1998. The conflict involved the constitutional status of Northern Ireland and the relationship between the predominantly Protestant unionist and predominantly Catholic nationalist communities there. “The Troubles” had both political and military dimensions. Historical Journal of Massachusetts, Vol. 39 (1 & 2), Summer 2011 © Institute for Massachusetts Studies, Westfield State University 208 Historical Journal of Massachusetts • Summer 2011 This time period encompassed the Provisional Irish Republican Army (IRA) campaign of 1969–1997, intended to end British rule in Northern Ireland and to reunite Ireland politically. As the following article demonstrates, Massachusetts Senator Edward (“Ted”) Kennedy played an instrumental role in promoting a constitutional resolution to the conflict.
