The Syrian civil war’s unabated violence continues to cause monumental suffering for millions of Syrians, with no end in sight. Over the past decade, the conflict has enabled the jihadist group ISIS to take temporary control of large parts of Iraq and Syria, exacerbated tensions between the United States and Russia, and given rise to the worst humanitarian crisis in recent history. How did it all start, and why is the war threatening to mutate into an international conflict? To anyone who’s lost track, getAbstract recommends this useful chronology of the Syrian civil war which the Middle East specialist Andrew J. Tabler put together for The Atlantic.
