Major Paramilitary Ceasefires
In 1994, major paramilitary groups in Northern Ireland announced ceasefires, marking a significant step towards peace.
The Ceasefires
The Provisional Irish Republican Army (IRA) and the Combined Loyalist Military Command (CLMC) both announced ceasefires in 1994. This marked the beginning of a reduction in violence and the start of negotiations.
Impact
The ceasefires paved the way for the Good Friday Agreement in 1998, which formally ended the Troubles.
