Approximately how many people were killed during The Troubles?

Northern Ireland experienced a long period of conflict known as 'The Troubles', which lasted from the late 1960s to the late 1990s. The conflict was between unionists (mainly Protestant), who wanted Northern Ireland to remain part of the United Kingdom, and nationalists (mainly Catholic), who wanted Northern Ireland to become part of the Republic of Ireland.

The Troubles involved violence from paramilitary groups on both sides, including the Irish Republican Army (IRA) and loyalist groups. Over 3,000 people were killed. The British Army was deployed to Northern Ireland in 1969. The Good Friday Agreement (also called the Belfast Agreement) was signed in 1998, bringing an end to most of the violence and establishing a power-sharing government in Northern Ireland.
