Lebanese Civil War

The Lebanese Civil War (1975-1990) was a complex conflict involving various religious and political groups, primarily between Christians and Muslims, alongside external influences from neighboring countries and global powers. It arose from socio-economic disparities, political corruption, and the influx of Palestinian refugees, which heightened tensions. The war resulted in widespread violence, military interventions, and the fragmentation of Lebanon. Ultimately, it led to significant loss of life and displacement, shaping the country's political landscape and sectarian identity. The Taif Agreement in 1989 helped to end the war but left lingering divisions that still affect Lebanon today.
