Remembering the Lebanese Civil War

The Lebanese Civil War was a complex conflict that lasted from 1975 to 1990, involving various religious and political groups in Lebanon. It began due to longstanding tensions among Christians, Muslims, and Druze, exacerbated by socioeconomic issues and external influences. The war saw widespread violence, displacement, and the involvement of foreign countries, leading to significant loss of life and destruction. Ultimately, it concluded with the Taif Agreement, which aimed to restore political stability and reconcile divided factions, though its effects are still felt in Lebanon today. Remembering the war highlights the importance of understanding conflict's roots and consequences.
