How this all started?

The story behind the Syrian civil war is very long you can visit these links to read full history or read below to understand the situation in short -

It all started in march 2011 after U.S troops withdrawal was completed, some people peacefully protesting against Arab spring were taken down by government in a violent manner and rebels began fighting back against them.

In July the same year, the voilant protesters made a free Syrian army with armed civilians which was led by Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi who took over Ayman al-Zawahiri, an Islamic theologian is currently known as ISIS (Islamic state of Iraq and Levant) which previously known as AQI (Al  Qaeda). ISIS is the militants group includes fighters from US, France, Germany and other European countries with local civilians. This militants group approach was different than other jihadi groups as the ISIS is trying to capture whole Syria and Iraq to make there presence felt by the world and the group has earned a reputation for brutal rules in the area they controls. After they captured Mosul it made ISIS the most cash rich militants group in the world and the group also got support from wealthy individuals from kuwait and saudi Arabia who supported ISIS's fight against Bashar Al-Assad. It is believed that ISIS has cash & assets worth $1.2 billion dollars and is raising.

The fight is not only against the government but Baghdadi's men were also fighting against the other jihadist groups like Al-Nasra supported by Zawahiri, Al-Qaeda chief which warned IS to operate only in Iraq and leave Syria to Al-Nasra but ISIS denied them and the war to conquer Syria began. It is believed that thousands of people were killed till now and the casualties is increasing.

The strong position hold by ISIS in Syria making people to leave the war zone and fleeing to other European countries.
