A civil war is a war in which parties within the same culture, society or nationality fight for political power or control of an area. Some civil wars are also categorized as revolutions when major societal restructuring is a possible outcome of the conflict. An insurgency, whether successful or not, is likely to be classified as a civil war by some historians if, and only if, organized armies fight conventional battles. Other historians state the criteria for a civil war is that there must be prolonged violence between organized factions or defined regions of a country (conventionally fought or not).

People in the same country, who take sides, then they fight. THis way they get what they want, which if you ask me is stupid. Have you ever heard of the American civil wa? Where our own country fought each other over the issue of slavery.

I've never been able to figure this out. I've never known of any war to be civil. But it's my understanding that it is a war in which both sides are in the same country.

It's made to sound like the war is civilized, but that's stupid, no kind of war is civil.

The former Yugoslavia is a good example of a civil war. Both Serbia and Bosnia were provinces or territories of the former Yugoslavia. Serbia wanted to take over Bosnia and Bosnia didn't want to be taken over. Therefore, they went to war.
