Ba'athist Syria

“”Who must go?

— Assad supporters in response to “Assad must go” aged like milk

Ba'athist Syria, officially the violent Syrian Arab Republic (SAR), or just more commonly known as Syria at the time, was a narco-state in the Middle East who was an embattled state, embroiled in a heinous war. He is a raging and burning ball of chaos, almost always angry and throwing around text walls in ALL CAPS, BOLDED, and COLOURED RED. Ba'athist Syria was suspended from the Arab League and OIC, and was one of the most popular destination for UN Peacekeeping programs. Ba'athist Syria enjoys using chemical weapons.

Ba'athist Syria and his supporters thinks too highly of themselves and think they are completely innocent. But, almost every side of a war commits war crimes. Despite this, he usually dismiss any criticism as " western propaganda". Ba'athist Syria also imprisons many people with opposition to government views, into very cramped prison cells (up to 100 people per room) with only a small window or very little light, and will kill the existing prisoners to make room for new prisoners.

History

Ba’athist Coup and Control

In 1963, Ba'athists launched a coup known as the March Revolution and seized power, ending the Second Syrian Republic. Now, the new Syria will either stand strong or fall, and this next year or so is his chance to show the world he won't give up.

In 1964, a riot by the Muslim Brotherhood in Hama happened, against the Ba'athists. This riot was violently suppressed with heavy military force, resulting in many mortal casualties and partial destruction of the old Hama city neighborhoods.

After a bloodless coup d'état led by General Hafez al-Assad on 13 November 1970 (known as the "Corrective Movement"), Syria reformed himself.

Allied with Egypt, Syria was later was one of the countries that had attacked Israel in the Six-Day War. The result for Syria was defeat, and it lead to Israel occupying some Syrian clay known as the Golan Heights from 1967 up to this day. Syria is still pissed off about it. The region is now disputed UN territory between the two, even if most countryballs had internationally recognized him for Syria.

Egypt wanted to retry another union with Syria with Libya involved, forming the Federation of Arab Republics in 1972.

On 6 October 1973, Syria and Egypt initiated the Yom Kippur War against Israel. The Israel Defense Forces reversed the initial Syrian gains and pushed deeper into Syrian territory. The village of Quneitra was largely destroyed by the Israeli army.

The federation disbanded in 1977 because Libya left.

Hafez al-Assad held elections, but they were not competitive. The Ba'ath Party held total control. His governance included significant state-led reforms that modernized parts of the economy and infrastructure, which some viewed positively. In the late 1990s, there were discussions about political reforms, but these were limited and did not constitute a true democratic process. Before his death, Hafez al-Assad did pave the way for his son, Bashar al-Assad, to succeed him, a move that maintained the family's grip on power rather than transitioning to a democratic system.

Also in the 1990s, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, Syria's biggest backer, collapsed, so now Syria sees that military force won't be able to bring the Golan Heights back. So, he went to talk to Israel, hoping to get Golan Heights back like how Egypt got Sinai back. Israel wasn't opposed to the idea at first, as it could pull Syria away from Iran and there would be peace between the borders of the two. But Israel and Syria couldn't agree on the exact borders of the Golan Heights. Israel was willing to return most of the full territory but keep total control over the Sea of Galilee. However, Syria insists that all the land taken since the original 1948 demilitarized zone be given back. To add to that, public opinion didn’t like this idea in both countries. The people of Syria saw this as a betrayal to the fight against Western imperialism, while the people of Israel saw the Golan Heights as historically Jewish land. Negotiations were rocky. Talks collapsed and restarted over several times until 2011, when the Syrian Civil War broke out.

Syrian Civil War

In 2011, during the Arab Spring, there were protests against the nepotism, corruption, and authoritarianism of the Assad regime, which resulted in deadly crackdowns where thousands died. This tension caused Syriaball to erupt into a civil war between many rival factions, the major ones being the Kurdistani Forces, Syrian Government, and Syrian Rebels (initially pro-democracy, later become fragmented because of the rise of Islamist groups). Though many have exposed USA and Saudi Arabia of funding the democratic rebels. Regardless, USA and allies cannot into caring. The Government then warned the west of the threat of the Islamic State, which the west largely dismissed.

Syrian relations with Israel worsened, as Assad turned to Iran and Hezbollah for help. Despite being officially neutral, Israel was still involved, regularly bombing Iranian and Hezbollahian positions in Syria, and even providing some limited aid to rebels. However, Israel never stepped in to get rid of Assad, as the chaos in Syria worked in Israel's favor.

In 2013, the Jihadist terrorist group ISIS rose to power and gained big chunks of clay in Syria, pushing the Assad regime to a wall. But when all hope seemed lost for Assad, two big and powerful players came into play: Russia and Iran. Russia's Air Force devastated rebel-controlled cities, and thousands of Iranian-backed Hezbollah fighters flocked to Syria to help.

Under the Obama and Clinton doctrines, the Islamic State sought to rule a caliphate in Syria if the Assad regime was defeated. But, Iran and Russia have made it clear that Assad is going nowhere. Huge stockpiles of chemical weapons and elements of the Al-Qaeda terrorist group posed regional threats. The Christians in Syria have also been slaughtered in the thousands after losing stability. ISIS has taken control of most of western Syria in 2014 after winning many battles against both the Assad government and the rebels.

In 2017, Assad began to push back. With Russian and Iranian help, as well as Trump's bombing campaign against ISIS, the Assadian regime had taken back most of his lost territory, but were not able to take back the northern parts, which some were protected by Türkiye and others were controlled by the Kurds.

A bunch of countries decided to intervene and Syria became the ground for a proxy war between Russia, USA and Türkiye who are each trying to gear Syria to their vision of his future. In April 2018, Syria used chemical weapons on his own citizens again. In response to this, USA, United Kingdom, France, and others launched combined strikes on Syria’s clay. This action resulted in escalated tensions between USA and Russia, the latter clearly stating not to launch those kinds of strikes on Syria. An emergency meeting between the two had to be called to ease the tension.

By 2019, large scale fighting has ended, and Syria’s economy was in shambles. 600,000+ people have died, and six and a half million Syrians became refugees across the world. Assad was unable to rebuild Syria’s economy because all the oil were in Kurdish hands. Unable to pay the army, most of them fled and those who remained had low pay and low morale. Corruption, trafficking, and bribes plagued Ba’athist Syria.

Between 2020 and 2024, the situation in Syria has stopped changing geopolitically, but lots of negotiations have been preformed, all going nowhere. And Assad's closest allies, Russia and Iran, are distracted with other conflicts . This allowed the rebel forces to work things out and prepare for a final blow against the Assadian regime.

In November 2024, Syrian Rebels attacked again, capturing Aleppo and Northern Hama. Bashar fled Damascus as the city fell to the rebels, ending the Ba'athist Syrian Arab Republic in 8 December 2024.
