What are four causes of the civil war in syria? One of the causes is self-perpetuating. When sunni fired at alawite,alawite fired at sunni and thats when self-perpetuating cycle starts they fire and they fire and the cylcle dosent end. Another cause for cival war in syria is killing innocent people. Shabiha was accused of killing the alawites people and the alawites were enraged and attacked the shabina. Another cause of cival war in syria was rampageing and vandalizing. Alawites rampaged and vandalized shabina and its people as revenge for the deaths of the people from alawite that shabina murdered. Another cause for cival war in syria is air strikes and terrorism. Russia sent air stikes to attack terrorists then us sent air strikes to attack isis then isis started a war is us and terrorist started a war with russia.

an attempt by the regime of President Bashar al-Assad to shoot Syria’s largest uprising into submission has devolved into a regionalized civil war that has partitioned the country into three general areas in which U.S.-designated terrorist organizations are dominant. In Syria’s more diverse west, the Alawite and minority-dominated Assad regime, and a mosaic of Shia militias trained and funded by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corp (IRGC), hold sway. In the center, Sunni moderate, Islamist, and jihadist groups, such as ISIS and the al-Qaeda affiliate Jabhat al-Nusra, share control. And in the northeast, the Kurdish-based People’s Protection Units (YPG) have united two of three cantons in a bid to expand “Rojava”—Western Kurdistan. As the country has hemorrhaged people, neighboring states have carved out spheres of influence often based on sectarian agendas that tear at the fabric of Syrian society, with Iran (and now Russia) propping up the Assad regime; Turkey, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the U.A.E. supporting the Sunni-dominated opposition; and the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) supporting the YPG.

In march of 2016 6.5 million people are IDP and refugees all of them together are 11 million. It is extremely difficult to track Syria's war casualties due to ongoing violence. As a result,there is a wide range of death estimates being reported. As of February 2016, total death estimates ranged from 250,000 to 470,000.

The cause of the cival war is mostly when the groups seperate they start causing problems with each other.This means that the
they challenge each other so they fight with each other.for Example Al Nursa is heavy fighting with Isis. An the syryian rebels are not fighting with the pyd Kurds.What also fueled the violence was the terroist groups with them they always put so many lives in danger like according to doc c they were called the shabiha group they were accused of killing of thousands of people.What can help stop the syryian war is get the syryian rebel to not cause harm by not allowing them to enter syria and also banning all explosives bombs and weapons

To be able to do this we need to all agree because the cause is the resident and pro-democraty and the sectarian means while all four opposition groups are faghting hundreds of thousands of syrian refugees are also making their way to europe What I would propose would be that the continents that are fighting would remain in a peace treaty instead of heavy fighting Should not be fighting.

One cause of the civil war in Syria is that the syrian president used to kill people even civilians. Another is that the Alawites went on a rampage and vandalized shops and left 6 people dead.

The 4 syrians are jordan and turkey and syria those are important to know and also cause they were on the map.Syria, in the original sense of what is now known as "Greater Syria", encompassed much of the Levant – today's states of Syria, Lebanon, Israel, and Jordan, plus a portion of Turkey. This is the cradle of the three major monotheistic religions, Judaism, Christianity and Islam; two were born in Syria, and Islam found its way there very early in its existence.In 1970 the political situation in Syria took a dramatic turn when a faction of military leaders who were Alawites – an Islamic sect – took power. After many centuries in which the Syrians had been ruled by outsiders, they now found themselves ruled by one of their own minorities.For years Syrians hoped that the Assads, the ruling family, would bring stability and freedom after the troubled 1950s and 60s, during which a series of coups d’états pushed the country into uncertainty and military conflict.

According to the Article , There was A wide range of death estimates being Reported and there were 71,781 deaths from innocent civilan bystanders . People that were against assad had more deaths so that caused the war to increase , since there are alot of groups going against assad and also going against each other the war and violence has increased and has made the situation more complicated. ~.

Some cuses that happened during the Discontent with Authoritarianism and Assad family’s long reign of power in Syria since the 1970s
Syria is 74% Sunni, but the Assad family is part of a Shia sect known as the Alawites
High unemployment, limited opportunities for upward mobility, few political freedoms within country • Arab Spring and success of protest in Egypt, Tunisia, and other neighboring states
Initial government crackdown against protestors backfired
