Syria's war is mess.

00:06

After 6 years, the conflict is divided between four sides,

00:09

each side with foreign backers.

00:11

And those foreign backers don't even agree with each other on who they are fighting for

00:15

and who they are fighting against.

00:17

And now, Syria’s use of chemical weapons has provoked President Donald Trump to directly

00:22

attack Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

00:25

This is a major development, because, up until now,

00:27

the US has only been focused on fighting ISIS.

00:30

To understand the criss-crossing interventions and battle lines in Syria today, and how it

00:34

got this way, it helps to go back to the beginning of the conflict

00:38

and watch to see how it unfolded.

00:40

The first shots in the war were fired, in March 2011, by Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad against

00:46

peaceful Arab Spring demonstrators.

00:53

In July the protesters

00:54

start shooting back,

00:55

and some Syrian troops even defect from the Syrian army to join them.

00:59

They call themselves the Free Syrian Army and the uprising becomes a civil war.

01:04

Extremists from around the region and the world start traveling to Syria to join the rebels.

01:09

Now, Assad actually encourages this by releasing jihadist prisoners to tinge the rebellion

01:14

with extremism and make it harder for foreign backers to support them.

01:17

In January 2012, al-Qaeda forms a new branch in Syria, Jabhat al-Nusra.
