Syria: The Spanish Civil War All Over Again:
"History may not quite repeat itself, but the war in Syria — invariably, “the Syrian
Civil War” — is eerily similar to the “Spanish Civil War” in the mid-1930s. The latter
started as an internal conflict, as did Syria, and then sucked in the major powers,
including Great Britain, France, Hitler’s Germany, Mussolini’s Italy, and Stalin’s Soviet
Union. The Syrian war features active intervention from Russia and Iran, Saudi
Arabia, the Emirates, and Qatar, and increasingly busy action is en route from Great
Britain, France, and the United States."
