Grants. That is a one sided interpretation of how it went badly wrong. Yes, troops were originally sent to protect Catholic communities. Yes, it did quickly turn in to a fight between the IRA and the British Army.

You may have heard of Bloody Sunday? Basically, peaceful protesters were shot, some killed, by troops. However, it is not clear cut. The are alkegations that men were seen with guns and pipe bombs amongst the protesters. Orders were given to open fire, and the rest is history.

Bloody Sunday has never properly been investigated, and it is some thing that festers like a sore between the various interests. It is just one example of how relations deteriorated very quickly. It was not however entirely down to the actions of British military and government. The IRA saw their oppirtunity to fight a real war, and took it.
