Civil War & Rebellions

Civil wars and rebellions are among the most transformative and devastating events in a nation’s history. This section explores internal armed conflicts driven by political oppression, economic inequality, ethnic divisions, or demands for independence. From full-scale civil wars to localized uprisings, we examine how rebel groups challenge state authority, disrupt governance, and reshape the social and political landscape. Discover in-depth coverage of active conflicts, peace negotiations, historical uprisings, and the humanitarian consequences of these violent struggles—including displacement, infrastructure collapse, and regime change. Whether rooted in revolution, resistance, or civil discontent, rebellions and civil wars continue to redefine national identities and influence global geopolitics.
