    A) Civil wars are wars by definition.

    B) Some of these conflicts were international. EG the 1956 Hungarian Uprising pitched Soviet-Russian forces against Hungarians.

      Yeah, I’m talking major war. Not a civil war. It’s really not a big deal.

        Some of the deadliest wars in history were civil wars. The Taiping Rebellion (1850–1864) is up there with WW2.
