The Syrian Civil War is an ongoing multi-sided armed conflict that began with Arab Spring protests in March 2011. It quickly escalated, involving the Syrian government, various rebel factions, jihadist groups like ISIS and Tahrir al-Sham, and Kurdish forces. International actors, including Russia, Iran, Turkey, and the United States, have played significant roles, providing military, financial, or political support to different sides. The war has resulted in a severe humanitarian crisis, with hundreds of thousands killed and millions displaced internally and externally.
