<human>:  I have a question about the Irish Troubles. Where did the Troubles start?
<bot>: The Troubles started in Northern Ireland in the late 1960s. The Troubles were a series of violent conflicts between the Irish Republican Army (IRA) and the British government. The IRA was a paramilitary group that fought for Irish independence from the United Kingdom. The IRA was founded in the late 1920s and was active until the late 1990s.
