No, it wasn't pretty. Some people lost out bigtime, and some are still losing out bigtime.

Both sides have their own mythology, and with the same purpose: to make themselves look innocent, and paint the other side as totally evil. Both sides will make excuses for their violent acts, and claim that the other side hurt them first. That's typical of such long-running disputes....it's always the "other guy" who's responsible for everything bad that happens, isn't it? (sarcasm)
