सीरियाई गृहयुद्ध
Also known as Syrian Uprising, Syrian Demonstrations, Syrian Protests, Syrian Rebellion, Syrian Revolt, Syrian Revolution, Syrian Unrest
The Syrian Civil War was an armed conflict that began with the Syrian revolution in March 2011, when popular discontent with the Ba'athist regime ruled by Bashar al-Assad triggered large-scale protests and pro-democracy rallies across Syria, as part of the wider Arab Spring. The Assad regime responded to the protests with lethal force, which led to a series of defections, the emergence of armed opposition groups, and the civilian uprising descending into a civil war. The war lasted almost 14 years and culminated in the fall of the Assad regime in December 2024. Many sources regard this as the end of the civil war even though clashes have continued into 2026.
AI overview
The Syrian Civil War was an armed conflict that started in 2011 when pro-democracy protests against the Assad government turned violent after the regime used lethal force against demonstrators, eventually evolving into a full-scale civil war that lasted nearly 14 years. The war matters because it was one of the most destructive conflicts of recent decades, displacing millions of people and causing widespread humanitarian suffering, until the Assad regime finally fell in December 2024.
