The Battle of St Matthew's or Battle of Short Strand was a gun battle that took place on the night of 27–28 June 1970 in Belfast, Northern Ireland. It was fought between the Provisional Irish Republican Army (IRA), and Ulster loyalists in the area around St Matthew's Roman Catholic church. This lies at the edge of the Short Strand, a Catholic enclave in a mainly-Protestant part of the city. Violence had erupted there, and in other parts of Belfast, following marches by the Orange Order. The battle lasted about five hours and ended at dawn when loyalists withdrew. The British Army and police were deployed nearby but did not intervene. Three people were killed and at least 26 wounded in the fighting, while another three were killed in north Belfast.

  • Die Straßenschlacht von St Matthew’s, auch Schlacht von Short Strand genannt, war eine Abfolge mehrerer Schießereien und gewaltsamer Ausschreitungen in der Nacht vom 27. auf den 28. Juni 1970 in Belfast, Nordirland. Die Ausschreitungen ereigneten sich im Rahmen des Nordirlandkonfliktes zwischen der Provisional Irish Republican Army (IRA) und Ulster Loyalisten in , einem isolierten katholischem Viertel im von hauptsächlich protestantischen Nachbarschaften dominierten Teil von Belfast. Auch in anderen Teilen der Stadt war es zuvor zu heftigen Straßenkämpfen und Schießereien mit mehreren Toten gekommen. (de)
  • La bataille de Saint Matthew est le nom donné à une fusillade de cinq à six heures opposant l'IRA provisoire à une émeute loyaliste le 27 juin 1970 à Belfast. À la suite d'une parade loyaliste, une émeute éclate à Ardoyne, faisant trois morts du côté loyaliste. Vers 10 heures du soir, un cocktail Molotov est envoyé sur l'église catholique romaine de Saint Matthew. La population de Short Strand, une enclave catholique dans une zone protestante, appelle à l'aide la brigade de Belfast de l'IRA provisoire, face aux refus d'intervenir de la RUC et de l'armée britannique. Son commandant, Billy McKee, vient diriger lui-même la défense de l'église. Selon lui, la PIRA a tiré 800 balles durant la bataille. (fr)
  • Битва за Шорт-Стрэнд (англ. Battle of Short Strand), также известная как Битва за церковь Святого Матфея (англ. Battle of St Matthew's Church) — вооружённая стычка, произошедшая ночью с 27 на 28 июня 1970 года между силами временного крыла Ирландской республиканской армии и ольстерскими лоялистами в белфастском квартале Шорт-Стрэнд, католическом анклаве в протестантской части города. Квартал был печально знаменит тем, что в разгар маршей Оранжевого ордена там возникали межэтнические конфликты. Перестрелка продлилась пять часов и закончилась с рассветом, когда лоялисты ушли. Британские армейские и полицейские части не вмешивались в конфликт. (ru)
