		Battle of the Bogside was shown as part of the West Belfast Festival during August, 1995.
		Battle of the Bogside was shown as part of the West Belfast Festival during August and combines the work of Clive Limpkin a freelance photographer from England and Barney McMonagle from the Brandywell in Derry.
		Images of confrontation can be difficult to assess as so often, like words, taken out of context or their time sequence, the true reasons for the actions are distorted and clouded depending on how the photographer or editor intends the viewer to judge them.

		In 1969 it was opposition to the parade by the city's Catholic majority that kick-started the Battle of the Bogside – which many believe marked the moment the Troubles passed the point of no return.
		The Bogside Residents' Group agreed not to protest against the loyal order's parades and the result was virtually trouble-free days in August and December and an example to other areas.
		Bogside Residents Group – the group's leader is Bogside resident Donnacha Mac Niallais, a son of former Sinn Féin assembly member Mary Nelis.

	Battle of the Bogside - Avoo - Ask Us A Question - The Battle of the Bogside was a battle in a rhetorical sense (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		In reality, it was a very large communal riot between the mostly unarmed residents of the Bogside area of Derry city in Northern Ireland and the Royal Ulster Constabulary.
		The British troops were at first welcomed by the Bogside residents as a neutral force compared to the RUC and especially the B-Specials.
		Taken together with events in Derry, this period of rioting is widely seen as the point in which The Troubles escalated from a sitauation of civil unrest to one of a three way armed conflict between nationalists, state forces and unionists.

		These first Bogsiders would have taken refuge within the walled city only returning to re-build outside Butcher’s gate in the safer climate following the Royalist siege of 1649, which was eventually relieved by a mainly native Irish force led by Eoghan Rua O Neill.
		The area nevertheless had a strong interest in politics and was noted by local observers to have been an ardently nationalist district as early as 1830 when Bogsiders paraded the streets and the city in support of Daniel O’Connell and the campaign for the repeal of the union.
		This contributed to the radicalisation of the Bogside, and the redevelopment of the area, by providing a focus for complaints and protests in the form of the Northern Ireland Housing Trust and the Corporation helped the formation of a number of tenants organisations, with members of the DHAC prominent.
