It wasn't a war. The British Armed Forces were used in support of the local powers, to prevent or deter terrorists from both sides of the nationalist divide from operating.
Whilst the nationalist side wanted it to be classed as a war for political purposes, the British Government refused to grant them this and treated them and the Loyalist terror organisations as criminals.
