Here are the five main causes of the Syrian Civil War:
1. Under President Bashar Al-Assad, many Syrian's came to feel that their government was corrupt and that there was a lack of employment available.
2. Pro-democracy protests were shut down by the government in 2011.
3. The government fostering hatred between religious groups.
4. Half of the Syrian people being displaced since 2011.
5. Countless violations of human rights by the Syrian government.
