Ulster Volunteer Force (UVF) (Northern Ireland) A Protestant paramilitary group in
Northern Ireland. It was formed in 1912 to prevent more autonomy for Ireland from Great Britain (Home Rule), as the Protestant majority in the North feared they would suffer from being ruled by the Catholic majority in southern Ireland. Armed to the teeth and led, amongst others, by Edward
Carson, it was prepared to use force and achieve its goals through civil war, with the thinly disguised encouragement of the
Conservative Party led by Bonar
Law. A clash with the southern Irish nationalists was averted by World War I. Many of its members joined the 36th (Ulster) Division, which suffered heavy casualties on the
Somme in 1916. After the war the
UVF cooperated with the
Black and Tans, until the Anglo-Irish Treaty of December 1921. The UVF was revived in 1966, in opposition to
O'Neill's reforms. It was declared illegal in that year.
