The British Army invaded nationalist areas,
This is untrue, the army was sent in to protect the nationalists and was welcomed at first. Jon.
The problem, however, is that they came under the control of the Unionist Stormont regime*, which used them to further their own ends (which were identical to those of the Paisleyites - put down the Civil Rights movement).
Eventually (after the events on Bloody Sunday) the British Government realised their mistake and prorogued Stormont in disgrace, but by then it was too late to stop the modern Troubles.
cheers, David
* Watch the Saville Inquiry closely for mention of a certain former Stormont minister called John Taylor (now rewarded with the title "Lord Kilclooney")
