    This is grossly misinformed. The Irish Republic had existed for decades before car bombs in London. That’s not what The Troubles was about.

    You're right. I meant to say that the Irish republic would not exist as it is.

      This is a sidetrack, but the goals of the IRA during the carbombs-in-London era (as distinct from the IRA of 1919-1922) was to absorb the six counties of the north into the Republic, not to preserve/establish the Republic.
