Civil war means that you get shot by "your" "government." I guess it's quite normal to want to break away then. And it's only called a "civil war" because the government can't extend its control to the breakway region. So recognizing that region doesn't actually change that much facts on the ground anyway.

The civil would become an international matter and can't be declared a purely domestic affair anymore. It becomes vastly more easy to bring money into the region and get an independent economy going. It would have its own exterior politics and officially opens it up to the influence of other countries. The state the region seceded from might not be friendly with some of them.
