The Civil War in Lebanon lasted from 1975 to 1990, involving various factions and foreign interventions. The conflict primarily arose from tensions between different religious and ethnic groups, including Maronite Christians, Sunni Muslims, and Shia Muslims. The war led to significant loss of life, displacement of people, and destruction of infrastructure. International involvement included the Palest Liberation Organization and Syria, which further complicated the situation. The war officially ended with the Taif Agreement in 1989, which aimed to restore political stability and balance among the diverse communities in Lebanon. However, the effects of the war are still felt today.
