The Syrian civil war, also known as the Syrian uprising or Syrian crisis, is an ongoing armed conflict in Syria. It is a conflict between forces of the Ba'ath government and forces who want to remove this government. The conflict began on 15 March 2011, with demonstrations. These demonstrations were like demonstrations held in other Arab countries, which has been called the Arab Spring. Protesters in Syria demanded the resignation of President Bashar al-Assad. His family has held the presidency in Syria since 1971. Many of Assad's supporters are Shia while the majority of the government opposition is Sunni.

In April 2011, the Syrian Army fired on demonstrators across the country. After months of military battles, the protests turned into an armed rebellion. Opposition forces were soldiers who had left the Syrian army and civilian volunteers. Opposition fighters had no central leadership. Battles took place in many towns and cities across the country. In late 2011 the Islamist group al-Nusra Front began to have a bigger role in t forces. In 2013 Hezbollah entered the war in support of the Syrian army.

The Syrian government received military support from Russia and Iran. Qatar and Saudi Arabia gave weapons to the rebels. By July 2013, the Syrian government-controlled approximately 30–40 percent of the country's territory and 60 percent of the Syrian population.[10] A 2012 UN report said the battles were between different sects or groups. The battles were between Shia groups against Sunni rebel groups.

Paha777 [63]
"Using the title to hint at the ruins of a life of excess wealth" is an example of a metaphor in F. Scott Fitzgeralds short story "Babylon Revisited". The story titled "Babylon Revisited" take place in Paris. It seems like the author could write the story title as "Paris Revisited". However, F. Scott Fitzgeralds used the Babylon's name in the title to reflect the materialism and the wealthy aspect from the story<span>.</span>
