Abstract:
One of the most intricate and destructive conflicts of the twenty-first century has been
the Syrian Civil War, which started in 2011. Millions of people have been displaced, hundreds
of thousands of people have died, and infrastructure and cultural heritage sites have been
destroyed as a result of the conflict. The conflict, which started as a domestic uprising against
the Assad regime, quickly expanded to involve both domestic and foreign parties. The
involvement of outside parties in the conflict has been one of the main characteristics of the
Syrian Civil War.
This research paper investigates the extent to which the Syrian Civil War can be
considered a modern proxy war. The study examines the involvement of regional and global
actors in the conflict using a variety of primary and secondary sources, including academic
literature, articles, and reports. The paper investigates the motivations and goals of the various
actors, the nature and extent of their involvement, and the impact of their actions on the
conflict's outcome and regional order. According to the findings, the Syrian Civil War is a
modern proxy war, with multiple external powers using the conflict to advance their own
interests and agendas. The paper concludes by highlighting the challenges and implications of
proxy warfare for regional stability and international security.
