In the immediate aftermath of Bloody Sunday, the British embassy in Dublin was petrol-bombed by infuriated protesters and the Mid Ulster MP Bernadette McAliskey punched the home secretary, Reginald Maudling, accusing him of lying to the Commons over what happened.
The legacy of the killings, however, was the boost to IRA recruitment and the outrage that fuelled paramilitary violence through subsequent decades. Lord Widgery's inquiry and official exoneration of the soldiers – dismissed by nationalists as a state "cover up" – aggravated the sense of injustice.
During the three previous years, the Troubles had claimed around 200 lives. In 1972, the year in which Bloody Sunday occurred, a total of 479 people died; it was Northern Ireland's worst year of carnage. The annual death rate did not fall below 200 again until 1977. Without Bloody Sunday the province's history might have been very different.
Young men queued up after the shootings to recount their eyewitness testimony to the Northern Ireland Civil Rights Association (NICRA) – which organised the anti-internment march – and to sign up for IRA membership.
Edward Heath, prime minister at the time, acknowledged the catastrophic consequences, telling Lord Saville's inquiry: "The tragic deaths in Londonderry on 30 January 1972 outraged the Catholic community, increased support for the IRA and destroyed the prospect of a political initiative."
Ivan Cooper, who organised the NICRA march towards the centre of Derry that day, has said that the killings undermined the non-violent creed of the civil rights movement. "Before Bloody Sunday, I believe there were no more than 30 to 40 IRA volunteers in Derry," the former nationalist Mid Londonderry MP has explained.
"They had a very small base, small amounts of hardware and, most importantly, very little support. The support was with [the Social Democratic and Labour party leader]. We were still reasonably integrated in the city. The IRA's campaign of violence that followed in the wake of Bloody Sunday [and internment] changed all that."
Cooper, who is a Protestant, believes the shootings constitute a "watershed" in Northern Ireland's history. "Bloody Sunday has been a running sore – everyone in Derry believes a vast injustice was done that day."
John Kelly, whose brother Michael was killed by the paras, believes Bloody Sunday poisoned the ensuing years. "There were queues to join the IRA after that day," he recalled in 2005 when the Provisional IRA finally decommissioned its weapons. "The paras were responsible for countless deaths that day, including soldiers, policemen and everyone who died during the Troubles.
"Many young people in Derry and across the North lost their lives through ending up in prison. The paras not only murdered people that day, but they carry the responsibility of the blood that was spilled since."
Edward Daly was the priest whose role in Bloody Sunday – waving a blood-stained handkerchief as he attempted to escort a dying victim past excited paratroopers – is commemorated to this day in Derry's murals.
In his memoirs, Mister, Are You a Priest?, Daly, now a retired bishop, said what he described as the "murders" cast a lingering shadow. "Countless young people were motivated by the events of that day to become actively involved in armed struggle and, as a direct result, joined the Provisional IRA," he wrote.
"Many former paramilitary members have gone on record stating that they first became actively involved in the wake of that Sunday. I am not at all sure about how I would have reacted, had I been a teenager and witnessed those same events." Those he later visited in prison often explained that their involvement in republican violence was a response to Bloody Sunday.
McAliskey, a speaker at the rally when troops began shooting civil rights marchers, gave evidence to Lord Saville about how the killings persuaded her that violence against the state was justified.
"Three thousand and more coffins followed and years of imprisonment and torture and pain and sorrow, and it is highly arguable that without Bloody Sunday, where we are today we would have been in 1972," she told the inquiry.
"I cannot forgive the British government for that. The British army declared war on the people seeking justice in this country on that day." She hid under a lorry as the firing continued.
"The only clear memory I have, which I have now as I speak of it, is terror. My mouth was dry. I think I could taste coal dust. There was a pain in the bottom of my back. My stomach was like lead and yet I couldn't feel anything at all."
Gerry Adams, president of Sinn Féin, agrees that Bloody Sunday was a turning point in the Troubles. "Money, guns and recruits flooded into the IRA [afterwards]," he wrote in his memoirs.
Jonathan Powell, Tony Blair's key Downing Street adviser in the peace process, told the Guardian in 2008: "So great was the place of Bloody Sunday in the memories of republicans and nationalists alike that one of their key demands as soon as we came into government was that there should be a full and independent inquiry into it."
For decades, the Bloody Sunday commemoration has been a major occasion in the republican calendar. It was a time to remember the fallen and, for Sinn Féin, an opportunity to parade its community's status as the victim of a murderously, oppressive state. As if their is no blood on their hands either.
The Saville report finally grasped some understanding of the truth,
unspeakable acts of atrocity have been carried out on both sides,
but this moment in history was a catalyst for a lot of bloodshed, beginning with that of fourteen innocent civilians, seven which were teenagers, five shot in the back
