Abstract
Civil wars constitute an element without which the history of humanity is incomprehensible. Since 1917, they alone claimed some 20 million lives and displaced 67 million people, standing alone as the undisputed primary form of armed conflict worldwide since the end of the Second World War. Their definition is crucial to understand them and to place them within intrastate and transnational policies. However, in its definition, the historical dimension has been systematically undervalued. In this paper, we address both a history of the concept and the elements that, in our opinion, help defining civil wars in historical terms.
期刊介绍：
War in History journal takes the view that military history should be integrated into a broader definition of history, and benefits from the insights provided by other approaches to history. Recognising that the study of war is more than simply the study of conflict, War in History embraces war in all its aspects: > Economic > Social > Political > Military Articles include the study of naval forces, maritime power and air forces, as well as more narrowly defined military matters. There is no restriction as to period: the journal is as receptive to the study of classical or feudal warfare as to Napoleonic. This journal provides you with a continuous update on war in history over many historical periods.
