Why do you call it a civil war? In a civil war two parties fight for dominance over the country - England’s and Russian’s civil wars, more than two hundred years apart, are great example. In that war, South did not want to dominate North but secede. It seems calling the conflict “a
Civil war” just follows Northern narrative.

- pbhjpbhj 4y agoI upvoted because it's an interesting point: but I think your definition of 'civil war' is just wrong. It's people in a single nation/people group fighting to resolve differences. Limiting it to exclude things like secession is an unnatural split that doesn't have any obvious benefits. Like, some people end up fighting because 'their' side is being attacked, they don't wish for dominance but only survival ... you'd be deciding for each individual person if it was a civil war or not.
