The Relative Deprivation Theory Explaining the Root Causes of ‘The Troubles. This study will focus primarily on the developments which can be considered as turning points in this conflict. Following a difficult and bitter historical relationship between the UK and Ireland, the partition of the Island (1921) took place, according to which in the south Ireland (26 Counties) became independent and the North (6 Counties) remained part of the UK. This was a breaking point in the relationship.

As it will be analysed in detail in the next chapter, that although there are some scholars who are sceptic of the connection between the start of the violence and the grievances of the Catholic community, Xxxxxxx states that the connection between relative deprivation and protest movements is not difficult to understand (Xxxxxxx, 1972, p. 331). Moreover, in the Report of the Commission appointed by the Governor of Northern Ireland with its Chairman Xxxx Xxxxxxx, dated September 1969, known as the „Cameron Report‟, it is stated in the 127. paragraph that “…The weight and extent of the evidence which was presented to us concerned with social and economic grievance or abuses of political power was such that we are compelled to conclude that they had substantial foundation in fact and were in a very real sense an immedia...
