    The Syrian Civil War began in 2011 as pro-democracy protests that were met with violence from government security forces. This sparked nationwide protests demanding President Assad's resignation and the conflict escalated as the opposition took up arms against the government. The war has since descended into a multi-sided civil war involving the government, rebel groups, and Islamic extremist groups like ISIS. The effects of the ongoing war have been devastating for Syria, resulting in over 200,000 deaths as well as millions of refugees and internally displaced people.

    Presentation on

    The Syrian Civil War


    What is a civil war?
    A civil war is a war between organized groups within the
    same state or country, or, less commonly, between two
    countries created from a formerly united state.
    The aim of one side may be to take control of the country
    or a region, to achieve independence for a region or to
    change government policies.
    A civil war is a high-intensity conflict, often involving
    regular armed forces, that is sustained, organized and
    large-scale. Civil wars may result in large numbers of
    casualties and the consumption of significant resources.
    The "independence flag" of Syria, used before the Ba'athist coup
    in 1963, has been widely used by protesters as an opposition flag
    and has been adopted officially by the Syrian National
    Coalition and the Free Syrian Army.
