vietnam napalm
The Vietnam war was the longest in american history, it resulted in nearly 60,000 american deaths and estimated 2 million vietnamese deaths, it still spoken about today weather it was a noble cause or not. Most people know the war for the severe napalm that was wide spread through the war and effected a lot of innocent people.

syria
the violence in Syria started in 2011 and is still ongoing. More than 4 million people have fled Syria to get away from the violence, over half of them being children.
How did it start?? It all started when 15 school children wrote 'anti-government graffiti on a wall' and were arrested and supposedly being repeatedly tortured. Obviously protests shot up, peacefully at first until the government didn't take kindly to the reactions and open fire on the protesters. This killed four innocent people and then later another was shot dead when they opened fired on the mourners of the victims. This lead to the country breaking into war.
