On 10 July 1921 Bloody Sunday broke out in Belfast. The violence erupted one day before a truce began in the Irish War of Independence, which ended the war in most of Ireland. With the truce nearing, police launched a raid against republicans, but were ambushed by the IRA and a British officer was killed. 1/2
