The Syrian civil war is an ongoing multi-sided conflict in Syria involving various state-sponsored and non-state actors. In March 2011, popular discontent with the rule of Bashar al-Assad triggered large-scale protests and pro-democracy rallies across Syria, as part of the wider Arab Spring protests in the region. After months of crackdown by the government's security apparatus, various armed rebel groups such as the Free Syrian Army began forming across the country, marking the beginning of the Syrian insurgency. By mid-2012, the insurgency had escalated into a full-blown civil war.
The Syrian opposition is an umbrella term for the groups that opposed the Assad regime in Syria.

In turn, the Coalition formed the Syrian Interim Government which operated first as a government-in-exile and, from 2016, in certain Turkish-occupied zones of Syria. In 2017, the Islamist group Tahrir al-Sham, unaffiliated to the Syrian National Coalition, formed the Syrian Salvation Government in the areas it controlled.
