The Troubles introduced urban warfare as a fighting style to the world for the first time and provided a "training ground" for the battles that were fought by western forces in the Middle East in the 21st century. Once heard that little robot they send in to disarm bombs was developed and first used in (London)derry.

glad Belfast made such innovative advancements to human knowledge

>The Troubles introduced urban warfare as a fighting style
Do you mean urban insurgency? I'd say the Algerians did it first when they fought against the French.
>>469166
there's also like, WW2
>>469166
>>469142
Actually, scratch that about the Algerians. The various WWII resistance groups like Holger Danske executed assassinations as well as bombings and hit and run attacks as well.
>>469180
Yes I thought about that afterward.
>>469166
Yes, thank you for the correct terminology and mentioning Algeria. Some of that was parroted from pub conversations I had when I was in Belfast. It's a lovely city, it's remarkable how far it's come.

>people in Belfast take pride in helping advance the field of urban warfare
>>469207
people in the UK and Ireland have literally no standards in what they'll take pride in
>>469185
>Danske
>resistance

There was that time when Verminous and Rod Nukem hid a nuke in Belfast and gave one trigger to a Catholic and one to a Protestant.

Belfast is just a shitty british town stuck in a 1970's timewarp, pretty much full of chavs
>>470707
is it safe to call it british?
>>470728
Not in parts of it.
>>470728
yes though people might have opinions about it
>>470728
Obviously not a good idea since you will either start a fight or just anooy somebody who wont talk to you any more
>>470822
not necessarily, Belfast is considered the most unionist part of NI despite having a few hardcore republican areas
>>470095
I would say that the Communards introduced it in 1871

geographically all of Ireland is part of the British isles, but not of Great Britain which consists of the countries within the larger landmass, i.e, England, Wales and Scotland (IIRC). Northern Ireland is part of the UK. (United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland). The British Isles are a geographical term not a political term, so the appropriateness of the the term " British" for use in Northern Ireland is contentious. Though i dont see any problem in identifying as British if your from NI, or vice versa identifying as Irish. We have cultural claims to both

I reckon as nation, Irish and especially Northern Irish people, we have the global equivalent of little man syndrome. As such small countries we feel like nobody knows anything about us, so anything that can put us on the map or in the spotlight, we will flock to, admire and take over bloated pride in.
