3rd Battalion, Belfast Brigade

The 3rd Battalion, Belfast Brigade was a unit of the Provisional Irish Republican Army (IRA), active mainly during the Troubles in Northern Ireland from the late 20th century. It was responsible for carrying out armed actions aimed at ending British rule in Northern Ireland and uniting Ireland. Operating within Belfast, this battalion was part of a broader republican movement and engaged in activities such as bombings, shootings, and other tactics. Its members viewed their actions as part of a broader struggle for Irish national self-determination, though these actions also caused significant controversy and suffering.
