The burning of Cork (Irish: Dó Chorcaí) by British forces took place on the night of 11–12 December 1920, during the Irish War of Independence. It followed an Irish Republican Army (IRA) ambush of a British Auxiliary patrol in the city, which wounded twelve Auxiliaries, one fatally. In retaliation, the Auxiliaries, Black and Tans and British soldiers burned homes near the ambush site, before looting and burning numerous buildings in the centre of Cork, Ireland's third-biggest city. Many civilians reported being beaten, shot at, and robbed by British forces. Firefighters testified that British forces hindered their attempts to tackle the blazes by intimidation, cutting their hoses and shooting at them. Two unarmed IRA volunteers were also shot dead at their home in the north of the city.

  • The Burning of Cork vond plaats in de nacht van 11 december op 12 december van 1920. Gedurende die nacht werden grote delen van het centrum van de stad Cork in de as gelegd door Engelse paramilitaire organisaties, als de en de Black and Tans, nadat een afdeling van de Auxiliairies in een hinderlaag was gelopen van het IRA. Deze gebeurtenis wordt door de Ieren als een van de keerpunten in de geschiedenis van het onafhankelijkstreven van Ierland gezien. (nl)

  • L'incendie de Cork a eu lieu dans la nuit du 11 au 12 décembre 1920, au cours de la guerre d'indépendance irlandaise. Il est déclenché par les forces britanniques. Il fait suite à une embuscade de l'armée républicaine irlandaise (IRA) contre une patrouille de l'Auxiliary Division dans la ville, blessant 12 membres de celle-ci dont un mortellement. En représailles les Auxies, les Black and Tans et les soldats britanniques pillent et brûlent de nombreux bâtiments du centre-ville. De nombreux civils déclarent avoir été battus, tirés et volés par les forces britanniques. Les pompiers témoignent que les forces britanniques entravent leurs tentatives de s'attaquer aux incendies par l'intimidation, en coupant leurs tuyaux et en leur tirant dessus. (fr)
  • コーク焼き討ち（コーク襲撃、Burning of Cork、アイルランド語: Dó Chorcaí ） は、アイルランド独立戦争中の1920年12月11日から12日の夜、イギリス軍がアイルランドのコーク市に甚大な被害を与えた襲撃事件である。きっかけは、アイルランド共和国軍（IRA）による、コーク市に駐屯するイギリス人の部隊オークジラリーズ（Auxiliary Division：王立アイルランド警察隊（RIC）の補助部隊）のパトロール部隊への奇襲が行われ、12人が負傷、1人が致命傷となった事であった。 その報復として、オークジラリーズ、ブラック・アンド・タンズ、イギリス兵により、最初は待ち伏せが行われた現場近くの家屋が放火され、その後にコークの中心部で略奪及び多数の建物が焼き払われた。多くの一般市民がイギリス軍に殴られ、撃たれ、強盗に入られたと報告している。消防士の証言によると、消火活動を行うとイギリス兵から止めるように脅され、ホースの切断、発砲によって妨害された。また、市の北部では非武装のIRA志願兵2人が自宅で射殺された。 (ja)
