In the early 20th century, pogroms broke out elsewhere in the world as well. In 1904 in [[Ireland]], the [[Limerick boycott]] caused several Jewish families to leave the town. During the 1911 [[History of the Jews in Wales#Modern period|Tredegar riot]] in [[Wales]], Jewish homes and businesses were looted and burned over a period of a week, before the [[British Army]] was called in by the then [[Home Secretary]] [[Winston Churchill]], who described the riot as a "pogrom".<ref name="bbc" />

In the north of [[Ireland]] during the early 1920s, violent riots which were aimed at the expulsion of a religious group took place. In 1920, [[Lisburn]] and [[Belfast]] saw violence related to the [[Irish War of Independence]] and [[partition of Ireland]]. On 21 July 1920 in Belfast, Protestant [[Ulster loyalism|Loyalists]] marched on the Harland and Wolff shipyards and forced over 11,000 Catholic and left-wing Protestant workers from their jobs.<ref>{{cite book |last=Hopkinson |first=Michael |year=2004 |title=The Irish War of Independence |publisher=Gill and Macmillan |page=155 |isbn=978-0-7171-3741-1}}</ref> The sectarian rioting that followed resulted in about 20 deaths in just three days.<ref>{{cite book |last=Parkinson |first=Alan F |year=2004 |title=Belfast's Unholy War |publisher=Four Courts Press |page=317 |isbn=978-1-85182-792-3}}</ref> These sectarian actions are often referred to as the [[Belfast Pogrom]]. In Lisburn, County Antrim, on 23–25 August 1920 Protestant loyalist crowds looted and burned practically every Catholic business in the town and attacked Catholic homes. About 1,000 people, a third of the town's Catholics, fled Lisburn.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.lisburnmuseum.com/virtual-museum/swanzy-riots/ |title=The Swanzy Riots, 1920 |date=2018 |publisher=Irish Linen Centre & Lisburn Museum |access-date=26 December 2021}}</ref> By the end of the first six months of 1922, hundreds of people had been killed in sectarian violence in newly formed [[Northern Ireland]]. On a per capita basis, four Roman Catholics were killed for every Protestant.<ref>{{cite book |first=Thorne |last=Kathleen |year=2014 |title=Echoes of Their Footsteps, The Irish Civil War 1922–1924 |publisher=Generation Organization |location=Newberg, OR |page=6 |isbn=978-0-692-24513-2}}</ref>

In the worst incident of anti-Jewish violence in Britain during the interwar period, the "Pogrom of Mile End", that occurred in 1936, 200 [[British Union of Fascists|Blackshirt]] youths ran amok in [[Stepney]] in the East End of London, smashing the windows of Jewish shops and homes and throwing an elderly man and young girl through a window. Though less serious, attacks on Jews were also reported in Manchester and Leeds in the north of England.<ref>{{cite news |first=Robert |last=Philpot |title=The true history behind London's much-lauded anti-fascist Battle of Cable Street |work=[[The Times of Israel]] |date=15 September 2018 |url=https://www.timesofisrael.com/the-true-history-behind-londons-much-lauded-anti-fascist-battle-of-cable-street/ |access-date=14 November 2023}}</ref>
