Description
The British Embassy in Dublin was burned on 2 February 1972 at 39 Merrion Square. This occurred during demonstrations outside the chancery by a large crowd, due to their outrage and animosity against the British, following the Bloody Sunday massacre in Derry on 30 January 1972, when the British Army's Parachute Regiment shot dead 14 unarmed Catholic civilians during a civil rights demonstration, with the massacre being seen as a direct act of animosity from the Anglican British against the Catholic Irish.
