	Civil war - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A civil war is a war in which parties within the same culture, society or nationality fight for political power or control of an area.
		Religion is more contentious, there are some civil wars that can be seen as fueled by religion in early years, such as the Jewish Revolts against Rome, but these can also be seen as revolts by a servile people against their oppressors or uprisings by local notables in an attempt to gain independence.
		Civil wars fought over religion have tended to occur more frequently in monotheistic societies than in polytheistic societies; this has been explained as being due to the fact that the latter tend to be more "flexible" in terms of dogma, to allow for some latitude in belief.

	American Civil War - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The American Civil War (1861–1865) was a sectional conflict in the United States between the Federal government ("Union") and 11 southern slave states that declared their secession and formed the Confederate States of America, led by President Jefferson Davis.
		The causes of the war, the reasons for the outcome, and even the name of the war itself, are subjects of lingering controversy, even today.
		The immediate causes of secession and war were the issue of slavery in the territories and the election of Abraham Lincoln, which signaled the end of Southern control over the federal government.

	Foreign Affairs - Iraq's Civil War - James D. Fearon
		In fact, there is a civil war in progress in Iraq, one comparable in important respects to other civil wars that have occurred in postcolonial states with weak political institutions.
		A civil war is a violent conflict within a country fought by organized groups that aim to take power at the center or in a region, or to change government policies.
		Everyday usage of the term "civil war" does not entail a clear threshold for how much violence is necessary to qualify a conflict as a civil war, as opposed to terrorism or low-level political strife.
