The Sri Lankan Civil War
The civil war in Sri Lanka was a long and brutal one which led to the loss of many innocent Tamil and Sinhalese lives. The war began in 1983 during a time where there was much tension between Tamil and Sinhalese speaking people due to the many limitations on the rights of Tamil individuals. These limitations caused a major inequality and aggravated many Tamil citizens which is what led to a breakout of violence. The continued violence only resulted in many casualties on both sides and eventually sparked the beginning of a civil war. After two and half long decades of violence and innocent killings, there was an end to the war in May 2009 when the military and its allies had an extreme assault on LTTE controlled parts of Sri Lanka which resulted in many innocent deaths, injuries, and the displacement of many citizens from their homes.
