Syria Civil War

The Syrian Civil War began in 2011 as a response to government repression during the Arab Spring protests. Citizens sought political reforms and greater freedoms, but the Assad regime violently suppressed dissent, igniting a multi-faceted conflict. Over time, various groups emerged, including rebels, jihadists, and Kurdish forces, complicating the struggle. Foreign powers like the U.S., Russia, and Iran intervened, further intensifying the violence. The war has led to a humanitarian crisis, with millions displaced and hundreds of thousands killed. Despite efforts for peace, the conflict continues, deeply affecting Syria and the wider region.
