Not true. He was literally blown in half.

Well after it had been agreed upon, the Queen (the real Queen) shook Martin McGuinness' hand, which helped to further cement the Good Friday Agreement that had ended "The Troubles" in Ireland. It was McGuinness that gave the order for Lord Mountbatten's murder, that of the others onboard and the bombings that killed 18 British paratroops in County Down on the same day. Elizabeth knew McGuinness was responsible for her family members' deaths, but greeted him anyway because it was best for Britain. And for Ireland. Imagine what that cost her inside.

I remember this. I just turned 19 in August 1979. I was (am) a shade-tree military historian, I had a book on Mountbatten. I watched him on World At War, British documentary on WW2. He made several appearances, giving his testimony on his efforts in Burma. I was surprised and a little shock at hearing of his assassination. The British public, and government officials did his father wrong. During WW1, Prince Louis of Battenburge was looked upon with suspicion for the Prince was German born. So he resigned his commission and changed his name to Mountbatten.

They said in their statement that it was "a discriminate act to bring to the attention of the English people the continuing occupation of our country."

Like all terrorists, in their minds that by killing him, England to feel scared of the potential of the IRA to terrorize the British population.

Well spotted. However cars from Northern Ireland then as now follow the UK registration model. So if an IRA man drove a car from the North over the border into the Republic it would have "English" ie British plates. Not unusual then or now to see this in the South.

Forgive me but I'm not up to date on the British political system. At the time of the bombing, I thought that the system was the same as it is now.... representative parliamentary democracy. Is that not correct? If that is the case, then it seems that Lord Mountbatten was a member of the House of Lords but is that enough for him to be singled out for assassination? I mean, it seems there were governmental figures FAR MORE powerful in terms of the issue at hand. Please update me.

Mountbatten was assassinated because he was a highprofile, and probably more important, an easy target. He holidayed with minimal security, only a handful of miles from an IRA refuge.

@@yakob4137 That was what confused me. Being an admiral/war hero during WW2 seems like it would be a positive thing to everyone. and being part of the royal family (ceremonial, but not the people who dictate policy) isn't effective unless you have zero respect for human life and want to murder a high profile figure even if they are not involved in policy. Again, I am certain that it is far more nuanced and i'm certain I'm lacking LOTS of information. Just trying to make sense of why him rather than people far more involved in policy.

He is now married and has several children.

I am Irish, I was appalled at this senseless act. A couple of years ago, I had the misfortune of dealing with the son of the killer of Mountbatten and those boys. Needless to say he had the same moral compass of his father. Despite the history between Ireland and England, I always felt that we had more in common than either country would like to admit. In current times, this is more evident than ever. Will either country exist in its historic form over the next couple of decades? Highly unlikely.

Mountbatten was in enemy territory. The I.R.A had every right to go after a British royal in their country's territory. It was extremely stupid of him to go there and was warned repeatedly not too. It's also extremely unfortunate about the innocent people who died. The same day the I.R.A killed 18 British paras in an well executed ambush. It's War. Simple

We have 800 years of violent conflict in common. Not to mention the genocide of the Irish famine, and centuries of brutal occupation and religious suppression. And in Northern Ireland, Catholics were denied jobs, housing, and even the right to vote. Luckily Ireland chose the right path to prosperity through our European identity, and is now richer per capita than the UK, which in a few decades will lose Scotland as well as Northern Ireland.
