"The area has been a focus point for many of the events of The Troubles; in 1969, a fierce three-day battle against the RUC and local Protestants, which became a starting point of The Troubles, became known as the Battle of the Bogside. Between 1969 and 1972, the area along with the Creggan and other Catholic areas became a no-go area for the British Army and police."
