Civil War & Rebellions

Civil wars and rebellions are pivotal events in a nation’s history, often stemming from political, economic, and social tensions within a country. These conflicts typically involve armed opposition against an established government or authority, with rebel factions seeking to overthrow or challenge existing power structures. Civil wars can have profound impacts, leading to loss of life, widespread destruction, displacement of civilians, and shifts in national borders or governments. Rebellions, which can be smaller in scale but equally significant, often serve as catalysts for larger conflicts or social movements, triggering long-lasting effects on a country’s stability and future.
