Really well covered man, that was quality stuff right there and I reckon Bono, Edge, Larry and Adam would give those versions the nod of approval. If the lads are ever in SA, and Bono's voice is acting up they could easily call on you to give them a dig out!! Quality stuff man.
And to answer the question about Bloody Sunday, it's about Bloody Sunday in Derry in 1972, where 26 unarmed civilians were shot dead by the British Army during a protest march in the Bogside area of Derry. The British authorities only apologised and accepted liability in 2010, over forty years later. Terrible things happened on both sides of this conflict over the "troubles" as they were called but the time should be called "The senseless murders" or something instead.
Northern Ireland has been there since 1921, following the 1916 rising Ireland managed to win freedom for the 26 counties of Southern Ireland, but failed to get the whole of Ireland back from British rule. There was a treaty between Ireland and UK signed by Michael Collins from Ireland and David Lloyd George from UK. This caused huge rifts in Ireland and led to the Irish civil war between June 1922 and May 1923, which are among the saddest days in Ireland's history where brothers fought brother literally.
Before 1916, Ireland was ruled by the UK for around 800 years and before that there was the Normans and the Vikings battling it out with Irelands hundred or so small Kingdoms... Ireland rebelled a few times before 1916 and were crushed, like 1798 and other years.
