Summary/Abstract: The civil war in the Syrian Arab Republic begins in March 2011. Under the influence of the Arab Spring, protests began in the country, escalating in early 2011 to armed clashes between protesters and security forces. Protesters are pushing for an end to the rule of the Ba'ath Party and President Bashar Assad, whose family has ruled Syria from 1971 until now. Gradually, the war from civil to military war with international involvement. The Islamic State, Russia, the United States, Iran, Turkey and other countries take part in it with the armed forces of the terrorist jihadist group Islamic State. The fighting is fierce and takes the lives of 370,000 people, of whom 112,000 are civilians. Despite the heavy casualties and territories suffered, the Islamic State terrorist group has not been definitively defeated and thus the prospects for the end of the war do not seem hopeful.
