Irish War of Independence - Loyalists marched on the Harland and Wolff shipyards

Time: Wednesday Jul 21, 1920

Place: Belfast, Northern Ireland

Details: On 21 July 1920, partly in response to the killing of Smyth and partly because of competition over jobs due to the high unemployment rate, loyalists marched on the Harland and Wolff shipyards in Belfast and forced over 7,000 Catholic and left-wing Protestant workers from their jobs. Sectarian rioting broke out in response in Belfast and Derry, resulting in about 40 deaths and many Catholics and Protestants being expelled from their homes.
