The official numbers say Cromwell’s army murdered 3,500 Irish people, which included soldiers, civilians, and even priests.
In another operation called “Banner”, which started in August 1969, the British Military murdered 307 Irish people, half of which were innocent civilians. The controversial history between the Royal Family and Ireland even impacted the Brexit. When Prince Philip died Irish people also celebrated.
