Catholics were dependent on state benefits. Most Protestants wanted to
remain part of the United Kingdom, while most Catholics wanted to be part of
the separate Republic of Ireland. The two groups disagreed about social
issues. Protestants formed the majority, so they controlled the government.
In what way were "the Troubles" a conflict over ideology?
A. Members of the minority group had lower incomes.
B. Two groups used violence for constitutional goals.
O C. Two groups were fighting over different beliefs.
O D. The minority group was shut out of political power.

Answer 1

Option: C. Two groups were fighting over different beliefs.

Step-by-step explanation:

The reason for the Trouble in Ireland from the late 1960s until 1998 was because of the religion. Ireland was the follower of the Catholic which differed from the Protestant. Ireland being catholic did not want to stay under the British Crown who followed Protestantism. Protestants in Northern Ireland were a supporter of the British who enjoyed privileges and controlled the country despite being having less population than the Catholic.
