I have felt compelled to visit Belfast as I learn more about The Troubles, an ethno-nationalist conflict that was raged in Northern Ireland between the late 1960’s and 1998. I felt ignorant, because I was more educated about conflicts further afield in the world yet I understood relatively little of this situation on my doorstep. This is not a video that suggests any level of expertise on my behalf. It is simply a documentation of my visit to Belfast and the people I met. Those within neighbourhoods on both the Catholic and Protestant sides of the dividing peace walls were incredibly friendly and welcoming to me, despite the horrific past events. Join me as I learn from the locals of Belfast themselves about the troubles, and find out what life is like in these areas today in 2024.

Woud you come back over to northern ireland? The video was great
Didn’t watch past 7 minutes. What a biased and one sided opinion from an Irish republican taxi driver 😢
And you decided to pick a republican view 😑
Lots of lies, untruths and myths
People crying because it was a Catholic doing the tour an telling the truth, they can't handle the truth an it would have been the worse if it was done by a protestant. You'd have only heard the british side to the troubles, Remember it was britain that came to ireland and start the troubles
I'm Scottish.
When I first went to Northern Ireland I didn't know what to expect.
The people are wonderful.
Belfast is amazing.
Too many positives to list.
Isn't Northern Ireland just Scotland 2.0
@@Justin-dl7hbas a person from the north of ireland* don’t ever say that again lmao we’re irish.
@@darnellbiggumsthe9th658we’re part of the United Kingdom and it’s title is Northern Ireland and we have a Protestant majority, couple of minor corrections.
Glasgow, Dublin and Birmingham are more dangerous than Belfast these days.
@@darnellbiggumsthe9th658It's Northern Ireland in case you haven't checked a map in 100 years :)
I'm 31, born and raised in Belfast. My da is 68 and rarely talks about his experiences throughout. Thank you for going out of your way for this video and for making it respectful and also tasteful.
I live in the UK. As difficult as it might be, the young must remove the walls, the Britons must try to accept the Irish. For the future of NI. Otherwise it will fade away by all the changes taken place. Never mind a United Ireland.
@@blenderocean not as simple as that I'm afraid
Thank you from a survivor of The Troubles, in my 60's & I can assure you that an entire generation has been left with PTSD , myself included. Blessings from Belfast.
We as people who lived through should be compensated by the government as we have suffered so much
Lol what a load of balls. It wasn't a war and that traumatic. Get a hold of yourselves
Sry m8 but nah drop into flat10 and tell me ppl arent traumatised by the troubles - look at the amount of drug taking ppl living of benefits who seen all sorts both involved and not - and there's still trouble for instance noah donahugh so wise up - wed be more prosperous if there wasn't so much trauma@leckey119
I actually think times where better back then.
@@jaimieboy999 yeah I agree if there wasn’t shooting and bombs it really would have been I agree
That bloke just described the troubles more clearly than any documentary ive even seen. Thank you
Agreed. I look into it every now and then but get lost in the complexity and resign myself to "Well its just two angry groups of people doing what angry groups of people do", but I actually came away from this with what i like to think is a fairly decent overview.
You have a lot to learn bonny lad.
@@mariemccann5895100% had to go and google the definition of "bonny lad". I'm sure you're right, but everything in its own time.
@@desertmammoth3159 yeah it's more complex than anything said here. And it's also easier to explain and understand once you know the complexities.
@@TheNinyo77Can you recommend me any decent neutral sources? I don't want propaganda from one side or the other, just a good old fashioned objective account of events.
Thank you Wendell for coming to my city. I’m from Protestant community. We are a friendly city. Some of the nicest people in the world live here. Take care and God bless. 🙏🙏🙏
Wonderful people mate, so many happy to chat
Sending love from Dublin pal.Cmonnnn Celticccc ;;;;)))) ✌😂😂

I am a Belfast man and have to say this is a pretty good representation of our city. One point I would make though. I think it's an over-simplification to boil the whole thing down to religion. Yes, it is an important part of the identity of much of the people on both sides, but by no means the only part.
Many Protestants were high profile figures on the Irish nationalist/revolutionary side. Robert Emmett, Henry Joy McCracken, Theobald Wolfe Tone to name a few were leading figures. Douglas Hyde founded the Gaelic League for the advancement of Irish language and culture was also the first President of Ireland. All Protestants. The United Irishmen were formed with twin goals of severing the link with Britain and of eradicating sectarian divisions between Catholic, Protestant and Dissenter.
In many ways it was the outbreak of the Troubles that actually served to cement people in the categories they were in, rather than just the category determining the "side". It caused people to retreat into their insular communities much more primarily through fear. My da was in Bombay Street the night it was burned and I never tire of learning our history from him. I do his head in!
Like I say, I enjoyed the film and it was very good, just thought I'd add a bit of context to it, it isn't simply Catholic v Protestant!
Well said
From here myself. I think what youre saying is very fair later on in the situation but the original circumstances of this was down to religion. There is a good quote in the the book called the famine plot. Irelands problems stem from the balls of King Henry. We have to go back to that time and consider how deeply religious everyone was. When he was refused his latest divorce and simply changed religion from catholic to protestant practically overnight, Ireland became a geopolitical target for them. The other colonial powers in France, Spain, Portugal seen this as blasphemy against God and they wanted to revenge England for this. For such a large body of land so close to England, it became dangerous for invading armies to station and so their policy here on it was to turn Ireland into England 2.0 and curse every part of its culture. As a catholic this gave me at least a sense in understanding the logic behind why they did what they done even if I dont like it. Ireland became a pawn in much the same way that Ukraine are being used now between Nato and Russia.
I often wonder how much of the segregation was deliberately provoked by the powers that be. The lesson was learned in 1798 that a United Irish people would be a difficult opponent for the British. Much of the bloodshed that followed was a direct result of the colonial power seeking to drive a wedge through the community.
@@johnners911you're theory is dead on logical, but there was zero threat that would have been incurred from Ireland to the British (divided or united). History moves on, Britain is a declining nation on the world stage as it contracts, Ireland one way or the other has made no difference in that regrard
Agree. Collectivists (Socialists to begin with who gradually morphed into the Fascists we observe today) highjacked people's legitimate concerns at the time which could (& should) have been addressed politically imo.
Belfast is a great city full of lovely, gentle , kind warm people , I would love to see the walls come down before I die , that would be amazing.
Well done. Your video brought back so many memories of growing up with the troubles in the 70's and 80's... Thank God we're in a much better place now.
My son lives just outside Belfast and I've been visiting there twice a year for the last 6 years and the city is amazing and the people I love. From watching old videos of Belfast and the troubles it's a completely different place. I'm not saying there's no issues at all but as a visitor ive never seen any. Top place top people. What i will say is it takes generations to make a difference
They have come a long way
So glad you did this video on Belfast. I'm actually going there on Wednesday next week. I've watched your other videos. Very interesting
if you’re not a outward prick or involved in dealing, then generally Belfast is very safe. all the best to your son!
I enjoyed Belfast and the Giant's Causeway. I also enjoy Dublin. Irish are top people in general. Being born in Liverpool, we tend to get on well with the Irish as most of us come from Ireland originally.
And Malta
@@WendallExplores 🇲🇹
Most of us dont come from ireland originally stop spreading lies. Liverpool is one of the few cities that regularly has orange marches. I don't like Irish, they shouldn't even be here seen as they hate us so much.
What an amazing man, could listen to him for hours😊
I'd check his facts tho lol
This is why i have zero interest in 99.9% of so called celebrities
@@markyinbelfastxx9088 would ya marky ya. check your chin
Genuinely one of the best CZcams travel videos I've seen. I'm even more compelled to visit Belfast than ever now.
Stephen McKeag my goodness, a complete monster
"Following his killing of Catholic shop worker Philomena Hanna at a chemists near the Springfield Road on 28 April 1992, eyewitnesses reported that as McKeag and his driver sped back to the Shankill via Lanark Way they shouted and sang his favourite song, 'Follow the Yellow Brick Road' from The Wizard of Oz.[14][15] Other UDA members later confirmed that the Yellow Brick Road was McKeag's nickname for Lanark Way, a street linking the Shankill and Springfield roads and favoured by loyalist hitmen as an escape route from Republican West Belfast.[16] An attack on 14 November 1992, launched by McKeag, under the orders of Johnny Adair, on a branch of Sean Graham's bookmakers on the Oldpark Road left three Catholics dead and a number of others, including some Protestants who also frequented the betting shop, injured."
Absolutely outstanding video your guide has been so informative!
Thank you for educating me Olli. This was really interesting and informative. I've only ever had a vague idea of the troubles I'm a bit ashamed to say
I've learned more about the troubles from this short video than from anywhere else. Good to see you go to places with an open mind and don't get influenced beforehand by what others have said. Keep it up, great work.
Beautifully done, my friend. You're coming to be a national treasure.
Wendall, you really knocked it out the park with this one. Really enjoyed it. What a channel this is mate! Bostin!
Appreciate that mate 🙏

I don't know why they kept that particular mural up
This was one of the best documentaries I've seen on Belfast ❤
Absolutely brilliant documentary, really informative. Look forward to seeing many more!
Wendall i am from catholic west belfast i watch your videos all the time on CZcams as it allows me to see parts of the UK and more that ive never heard off, great video keep up the good content👍
Hey Wendall, thanks for all your videos. I love the passion and knowledge of the cab driver.
Thanks for watching
The Irish cab driver told a one sided story to make you all think that the PROTESTANTS AND BRITAIN were to blame 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
The cab driver was one sided, passion for one community. Bobby Sands was a terrorist not a hero.
@user-cg8tv4he9e And is that not also one-sided? What about Billy Wright and Johnny Adair? Are they not as bad as each other?
Thank you for this well put together and sensitive video. Well balanced and well researched.
Appreciate that, thank you
My dad is Irish and my mom is English and i love both of them and the same goes for all Ireland
Peace in jesus name to you all from Wolverhampton 🇮🇪🇬🇧✝️❤️
Amen my English friend. I'm Irish raised in Dublin now living on west coast. We live in a time were Unity is more needed than ever. Our governments are workers of deception & confusion & it's time for the people of our Islands to Unite. The Irish & English have more in common than a lot of people think. Peace in Jesus name to you also my good brother from County Clare ❤✝🌹☘
With the surname Smith - you sure your dad is Irish? lol

One of the best vids i have ever watched. Thanks for this Wendall.

That was absolutely brilliant mate one of the best yet keep up the great work
Appreciate that mate
Great and informative video. And the taxi driver was really a find. It is horrible that the conflict is still going on. Thank you for enlightening us 😊
It’s a powerful city Torunn
Fantastic video mate, thoroughly enjoyable and a unique unbiased approach, well done 👏
Fascinating - many thanks for bringing it to us
Your best one yet Wendall!!!!! Love from Dublin

Another good video. You deserve way more subs than you have Wendall.
Really enjoyed this one Wendall, keep up the good work, 👍
One of your best videos mate. Thank you
Outstanding video. Very educational and moving, it would be great if this video could be shown in schools and colleges all over Britain and Ireland. Wonderful that Wendell, as he does in all his videos, was able to have such frank, honest and respectful conversations with local people who have lived through such a touch period and are now emerging on the other side. Great to see that on the balance, there seems to be far more to be positive about than negative for the future of Northern Ireland - I really hope so. Thanks so much for doing these Wendell - they are priceless.
Thank you for the very kind comment
This doesn’t need to be shown in schools in Ireland. We already know it all lol I’m an Irish Catholic from the north of Ireland. We don’t call this place where we live Northern Ireland, we call it the north of Ireland. The Protestants call it Northern Ireland.
@@colmmurphy6749 Many thanks for the clarifications Colm. Indeed it doesn't 'need' to be shown anywhere, but it would be interesting and worthwhile watching it anywhere, as are all of Wendell's videos. I was about 8 and in school when Bobby Sands went on hunger strike. It really captured my imagination and stimulated an interest in Irish history. I've always wanted to visit his mural but wasn't sure if I would be welcome as someone from Britain. This video has given me the confidence to do it.
@@jontyhead468it doesn’t matter who you are… anyone can visit the Falls road. It really isn’t anything like it was when the conflict was happening. Now if an Englishman went onto the Falls in the early-mid 90s & was just walking about taking pictures then yeah, something might have been said. That would happen because they’d think you were working for the British government lol But thankfully that’s all in the past now. Next time you’re over here in Ireland you should pay a visit. You can also go to Bobby Sands’ grave, as well as other IRA members’, along the Falls road. It’s in a graveyard called Milltown cemetery. Anyone can visit the republican plot in this graveyard.
You are incorrect
by far the best vid youve done so far 😇
What a great informative video. I heard of the troubles in Ireland but never quite understood what it was about. Such lovely people on both sides and I wish them all peace x
I have a friend who was a child in the Divis Flats. He's since shown me around. It's fascinating, a different world completely. Thanks to you and the guide for this brilliant informative video.
You've surpassed yourself with this excellent video Wendall.
Thanks for visiting Belfast.
Excellent video. God Bless.
Appreciate the positive review 🙏
Great video mate. Im from Belfast and you covered good ground. Really enjoying your videos. Keep up the good work ❤🙏😎
Awesome, thank you!
Very informative video, absolutely brilliant
I learnt alot from that video thanks. A great watch. You lifted the bar so high on that one.
I appreciate that, I tried my best 🙏
Pretty balanced and fair portrayal of my home town. Life goes on
Very enjoyable documentary, Wendall. As someone born and raised in the South, Belfast is one of my favourite cities to visit and have always got a good welcome. You could probably do two supplementary documentaries on The Titanic Quarter/economic history of Belfast, and then another on the University Quarter. As a city, it has so much history and so much to offer.
Good to see you bk missed your content!
Good afternoon pal. Great video. I volunteer in a homeless centre in Belfast and i can agree, there is very little help. Thankfully, there are amazing people in the country that donate and help a great cause.Thanks for a fantastic video. You done a great job.
Another brilliant video Wendall and really interesting to watch. I've been travelling to Belfast on work trips since 2002 and have always enjoyed my time there, as well as meeting some wonderful people along the way... :)
I was warmly welcomed
Excellent video Wendall loved it thanks ❤😊
Appreciate that Kev
Great video. You’ve approached this with great empathy and understanding. I also feel less ignorant about a few things than I did at the start of the vid. Nice one.
Such an educational visit. I’ve learnt a lot. Thank you
Hello Wendell, thank you for dropping another video. Going to give me a cuppa coffee. It’s 11 o’clock here in Northern California. Love you videos I know I’m gonna enjoy this one. Thank you for all your hard work my friend.🙏💙💯🇺🇸
Thanks for watching Thomas 🙏
Liked and signed in. I always watch your videos on my TV from sunny Brazil. Grew up in England during to 80-00's, so grew up listening to (or maybe not listening as the BBC cut the audio) the troubles.
This is such a great video on the history of Northern Ireland and the troubles ,brilliant Wendall
I appreciate that, thank you 🙏
Hi Wendall , I've been subscribed to your channel for a about 6 months now & love the channel & your trips around all the towns & cities throughout the UK , I was born in Belfast in 1969 at the start of the main troubles & conflict & just want to congratulate you on a brilliant vlog on Belfast & how you documented it even with having little knowledge of Belfast , very interesting & the people's outlook on the way it is today , keep up the good work mate 😎
I appreciate the comment, I was humbled to learn
You do a good job wherever you go mate & I've been around alot of the UK also, so it's nice to see the back streets as well as the main areas, but really glad you came over to Belfast, come back soon 👍🏻
Such a good tour guide and a true gent!
This was a cracking video. Really interesting to see the kick up in NI content recently across the board. Nice to see people showing interest in our history and how it is today.
Great video, the tour guide was great, very knowledgeable.
You've earned yourself a subscriber!
This was so informative I had 0 idea about any of this (English, born in England). None of this was taught in school and learning about it is so interesting.
this cab driver gave an honest non boyest view from my lookin at it,and even that im only 2 hours down ta road,this video takes us to the deep places of Northern Ireland,Great work
From Benidorm to Belfast you always produce great interesting videos. Definitely one of my favourite content producers.
Appreciate that 🙏
That was absolutely blindin, well done sir 👏
Magnificent documentary.
I'm from Wicklow in the Republic - and we often feel so far removed from the situation in the North. Going up North can often feel like a different world (and not just because of the politics).
The cabbie makes a great point about how its no longer Catholics and Protestant (whos really religious these days?) - its a case of Republican and Unionist.
I was in Tulsa Oklahoma late last year and met a Northern Unionist in a bar; we could not have had more craic slagging each other about all sorts and who we have pictures of on our walls (Gerry vs Charles).
We are all the same, we just want peace and craic. Full stop.
Yes but the republicans are Catholics and the Unionists are Protestants, of course it’s about religion. I met both sides over here and the Protestants are the more vicious.
Good video! Very interesting! I learnt a lot there!
One of my fav videos you've done this, really interesting!
Thank you 🙏
@@WendallExplores very welcome mate :)
first time watching , subbed thank you for your content very well presented better than some TV shows.

Superb content!!!! 10/10 BRILLIANT!
very informative, thanks Wendall
I'm from Manchester England and I've been to Belfast once. Its a great city and well worth a visit. I went up the Shankill and down the falls Rd. Everyone was friendly. I can't wait to go back.
Thank you for a very interesting and informative video. I visited Belfast in 1971, for a wedding. The atmosphere struck me as soon as I came off the ferry I seem to recall the smell on the morning of what must have been another violent night. RUC and Army here and there, with 'that look' on their faces. and wreaked vehicles around. But I am glad that I had the experience.
The Troubles were a part of our lives growing up, as were Vietnam and the Space Race. I would like to visit Belfast again, to experience the changed city.
im from this city and its cool seeing our country grow from the dark days of the troubles its signs of peace hope it continues and im sure if you asked any local they prefer peace not war hopefully one day them horrible walls will come down won't be in my life time im sure tho great video
Great video mate, I visited Dublin a few weeks ago but didn’t get the chance to visit Belfast while in Ireland but seeing this video, I can see the contrast between NI and ROI. I’ll have to come back and make more videos at some point
Another captivating video. You definitely deserve to have more subscribers. Thank you for these videos.
No problem, thank you for watching 🙏
Great informative video as always. I always look forward to your videos fella keep up the good work
How did you watch it so fast? 🤣
Hey wendall, great to see you were here in belfast. I live ten minutes from were you were on the falls road. Welcome and hope you come again my friend 👍🏻.
Amazingly interesting thank you so much Wendell from Liverpool. Never been but always been interested but on the back of this video I think I'll make a visit!
Nice to see you visiting this fine part of the world
Really enjoyed my visit
That's a great video from both of you thank you very much godless all
Thank you very much
Wendall
Great video! We visited in November 23 and we were guided by Henry around the Shankill and Falls Rd areas. He is a fantastic orator and gave us like you an eye opening insight into this area of this amazing city.
The people of Belfast are what makes this town! Very friendly and welcoming to tourists and we would not hesitate to return…👍
Very interesting situation. Great video.
the cabbie gave the most thorough and personal explanation of the troubles and its affects on the communities I’ve seen. Great video, Wendall.
Glad you enjoyed the video
The taxi driver was a total embarrassment,absolutely no intention of giving a balanced views of both communities history.His version was extremely biased republican fantasy bullshit.always the victims
@@britishirish1112 whos trying to be a victim now lol
Black Taxi = Catholic
Ex paramilitaries drive the black hacks he said the english banned the catholic religion 800 years ago that's a lie we were all catholic till the reformation.Never take a black hack mate they are biased and you'll only hear his version of the past.
Being from Belfast. Your video is amazing, shows Belfast in such a good light. I personally find no problems at all in Belfast. If you ever decide to come back. I’ll get you a pint 👍🏻
I’d love to come back and I’d love a pint! 🍻
Brilliant that was m8 really enjoyed it 🎉
Appreciate that
Very interesting video. Thank you for sharing.
Hey Wendall, great video, I served in Belfast between '95-'97 and it brought back so many good and bad memories. The Divis tower, Springfield Rd, the Falls Rd, Shankill, they had major problems that just didn't get covered by mainstream media. This was a great balance of reporting between communities. Good job, thank you! RIP my fallen friends from both sides, you'll never be forgotten!! ❤❤❤
Lived/Served in Ulster 1980,s-1990s I can honestly say I prefer those days to the present at least you knew where you stood I'm from a Catholic Mother /Protestant Father so I seen/Lived both sides my loyalty was to my mates not any religion.
Thank you for ur service guy’s 😊 from a wee Greenfinch 😉
Respect from an Irish nationalist from divis 🫡
Thanks for the educational video. I had no idea about the peace walls and that the gates are locked at night. It's sad that this is the way people are living. So hope things can change and improve as we move into the future. I hope things will never go back to the horrors of The Troubles
I too hope these wonderful people never have to face that horror again
Excellent piece
I live in Belfast and every time I go abroad I cant wait to come back. The people are just so nice here.
Been Northern and Southern Ireland many times. Always met incredible people and the most welcoming people too. I’ll never forget Derry where i was welcomed to Legenderry. To the everyday people who respect the land and the people, You will be welcomed with an open heart.
A lot more Brits need to watch this.
I'm 48 years old and grew up in England, aware of what was going on in NI and Belfast but with no knowledge of why.
My ignorance continued to this day so I'm so glad this video has educated me.
Hopefully one day there will be no need for a wall and both communities can live in harmony.
Thanks Wendall.
Thank you for watching, and I’m happy it educated you as it did me
Some chance those scumbags will ever live together without a wall.
Gangsters are in charge and always have been.
@@pooooornopigeonif that's the case I'd love for you to make your own unbiased video to document the fact. I don' doubt you, I'd rather have first-hand knowledge. Can you do that for us please ?

This is really well done. Good for Wendall for bringing an open mind, talking to people on both sides with humility like ordinary humans, not sensationalizing, really trying to listen and understand. The thing I like best about this video is that attitude.
Appreciate that
Fantastic watch mate 👏 being from Belfast myself I feel like people were maybe holding back a little bit or maybe you just had to squash it down as it is pretty long, either way it was fantastic. Hope to see you come back sometime.
Nice to see you around my neck of the woods Wendall

@@nornironnomad I'm from Belfast.
As a Belfast man myself who grew up during the troubles I found this video fascinating, the tour guide was very informative and balanced. BELFAST is a great City and welcoming to everyone,thank you for making this video.
Fantastic Wendall! Your mate explained things very well. Ps, saw you yesterday in Paignton, and you chatted to my mate in town.
I went to Belfast last month and stayed on the shankill road , I went and walked around the falls road , shankill and ardoynne looking at the murals , I watched cliftonville play football, on the Sunday went on a massive pub crawl in the city centre then back to the pubs in shankill like the royal bar and Rex bar.
On the Monday paid 30 quid to go on the game of thrones coach tour which left at 9am and got back at 6 and was an absolute bargain and great day .
The northern Irish people were very friendly and welcoming and if anyone wanted a long weekend in Belfast I would absolutely recommend it ,
I’m going to go back later in the year.
Great video as usual but I do think this is you're best one yet . Fair play
Appreciate that, bit of a risk putting up an over 45 min history tour 😬🙏
For me personally I love the long videos . I spend most of my childhood up in Belfast and now live in Galway love the place up there was nice to see it again
Great video Wendall. Brings back many childhood memories of news reports; riots, bombings, shootings and extremist politicians. Not good memories but it's important that this doesn't slip unforgotten into history. Keep up the great work. 👍
Your best video. Much thanks
