The name "Bloody Sunday" is derived from the violent and deadly clash that occurred on January 30, 1972, in Derry, Northern Ireland, when British soldiers shot 26 unarmed civil rights protesters, resulting in 14 deaths. The protesters were demonstrating against internment without trial, and the events of that day became a significant and tragic moment in the history of the Northern Ireland conflict.
