The Syrian Revolution, also known as the Syrian Civil War, began in March 2011 as part of the broader Arab Spring movement. It started with peaceful protests demanding political reforms and the release of political prisoners. The government's violent crackdown on demonstrators escalated tensions, leading to widespread unrest and armed conflict. As the situation deteriorated, various groups emerged, including the Free Syrian Army and extremist factions. The conflict has drawn in multiple foreign powers, complicating the situation further. The war has resulted in a humanitarian crisis, with millions displaced and significant loss of life, impacting the region and beyond.
