It is very hard to know what event you are asking about
here without having more context. There are many events in history that are known to
various people as "Bloody Sunday."
The one that sticks out
most in my mind, that I think of right off, is the Bloody Sunday massacre that happened
in Northern Ireland in 1972.,
Northern Ireland was a place
of great violence because there were two factions, one which wanted to remain part of
Great Britain, and one which wanted to be part of the Republic of Ireland. The tensions
were made worse by religion -- the faction that wanted to remain part of Britain was
Protestant while the other was Catholic.
Bloody Sunday was
a day in 1972 when a group of Catholic, non-violent protestors was attacked by soldiers
from the British Army. 26 of the protestors died.
