when did the civil war start?

Answer 1

Past civil wars (chronological)
Warring States Period (China), 475–221 BC (this is not universally considered a civil war, but rather an international conflict. However each of the combatant states nominally acknowledged the authority of the Zhou kings of China, thus bringing them into one kingdom. This ended in 256 BCE, however this was a mere 35 years before the end of conflict)

Answer 2

There are several different Civil Wars, it would be nice to know which one. The American Civil War started in 1861. The first English Civil War started 1642 and second one started in 1648. The Russian Civil War started in 1917. The Rwandan Civil War started in 1990. The only problem with this war was after the peace treaty was signed in 1993, there was the Rwandan Genocide of 1994.

This Y/A has several different nationalities on it and they all would like to know which one you are talking about.

Answer 3

It didn't. By definition, a civil war is a struggle between two opposing forces for control of a nation. That is NOT what happened in 1860. Rather, 11 southern states for many reasons INCLUDING but not limited to the issue of slavery, wished to LEAVE the Union and establish and independent nation. At no time did any of these states either individually in concert wish to take over the federal government of the United States.

Whether or not it was 'constitutional' for those states to secede from the Union, the ensuing war cannot legitimately or correctly be called a 'civil war' for the reasons indicated above.

Answer 4

The War Between the States began with the firing on Fort Sumpter by the Confederates on 12 April 1861 and ended with General Robert E. Lee's surrender at Appomattox Courthouse on 9 April 1865.

Answer 5

Whose civil war do you mean?
In England, Spain, the USA and probably other countries, they refer to their own civil war as the Civil War. Other people's are qualified, eg Brits and Americans talk about the Spanish Civil War etc.

Answer 6

It had been brewing for some time. I think the fighting started
around 1861 and lasted about 4 years. Because of the way
the American Indian had been treated under the stars and
stripes they chose to fight on the side of the stars and bars.
They would have fought under the scull and crossbones if it
had been the battle flag of choice. Just thought I would add
a little extra information that is normally left out.
Hope that helps.
