 | | Commentary: No comments have been posted about The Alexandrian Wars. | | | Caesar's success gave him pleasure; but the conclusion of the war would put an end to his rapines: insomuch, that he was uncertain which to wish for, victory or an unbounded licentiousness. | | | The truce was not only concluded, but the works demolished, and the guards drawn off; when king Bogud attacked one of Marcellus's forts, that lay nearest to his camp, unknown to any (except perhaps Longinus, who was not exempt from suspicion on this occasion), and slew a great number of his men. |

| | The English Civil War (correctly the British Civil War) was a civil war fought between King Charles I, his supporters, and the Long Parliament, led by Oliver Cromwell. | | | While the monarchy was subsequently restored, the civil wars effectively set Britain on course to become a parliamentary democracy, and help it avoid the later European republican movements that followed Napoleon's victory in 18th century France. | | | North American English, while more phonologically conservative, has undergone some sound changes. |

| | Middle East Open Encyclopedia: Civil war |
| | Some civil wars are also categorized as revolutions when major societal restructuring is a possible outcome of the conflict. | | | 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. |
