Civil War
A civil war is a violent conflict in which the competing parties are segments of the same country or empire. Civil war is usually a high intensity stage in an unresolved political struggle for national control of state power. The conflict may be over matters such as religion, ethnicity, or distribution of wealth. Some civil wars are also categorized as revolutions when major societal restructuring is a possible outcome of the conflict.
There were several major civil wars in the Roman Empire. Other examples of civil wars include:
- The Anarchy, 1135-1153
- Wars of the Roses, ~1455-1485
