	The atrocity of the first Bloody Sunday was framed by the Irish War of Independence, lasting from 1919-1921. This war was characterized by its irregular character: The conflict was not between two regular state forces but between guerilla IRA units called the Flying Columns, the Royal Irish Constabulary (RIC) and British paramilitary forces named the Black and Tans. The Flying Columns attacked police barracks, military garrisons and convoys; they also captured rural towns in Munster and Connaught, therefore establishing control over the Irish countryside. The RIC and the Black and Tans, which were sent in as support for the RIC, answered with heavy reprisals: looting towns and harassing the local population.
