Question

What are the similarities and dissimilarities between American and Syrian civil war?

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

There isn’t any sort of comparison and neither is actually much of a civil war as that term is understood.

The “American Civil War” was a war of secession by the CSA and then a war of conquest/reconquest by the USA to stop the secession/independence. It was not a “civil war” in that there were not multiple factions vying for control of the USA. It was a secession war.

The war in Syria is not a “civil war” to the extent that it does not involve multiple factions within the nation fighting for control of Syria, it involves a band of cut-throat rogues, renegades, and foreign mercenaries, organized, equipped, funded, and led by Americans, Israelis, and Saudis, attempting to topple the government in Damascus.

Syria is not in a civil war, Syria is being invaded by bought and paid for mercenaries organized and led by its enemies, enemies who have inserted thousands of ground troops and special forces throughout Syria.

Syria could legitimately declare war on Turkey, Israel, the USA, France, UK, and Saudi Arabia if it so desired, but such declarations would be ill-advised and would escalate the situation.
