The Pardarian Civil War (Pardarian: جنك داخلی, Jang-negee Pārdariāni; Badawiyan: الحرب الأهلية السورية, al-ḥarb al-ʾahlīyah as-pardarīyah) was a multifaceted civil war in Pardaran fought between the Imperial government of the Shahdom of Pardaran (SOP), the Ghowmee Tudeh Party-led Pardarian Revolutionary Resistance Command (PRRC) and numerous warlords lasting intermittently between 1948 and 1950. Though particular attention is paid to the period between 1948 and 1949, when the PRRC forces defeated the Shahdom of Pardaran, the war continued with the PRRC defeating opposing warlords and breakaway regions, culminating in the unification of Pardaran and the beginning of Zorasani unification, which would be completed in 1979 with the defeat of the People's Republic of Irvadistan and the establishment of the Union of Zorasani Irfanic Republics. Between 602,258 and 612,258 people were killed or injured and devastated large tracts of central and eastern Pardaran. The war saw numerous atrocities committed by both sides, though most historians apply blame to PRRC forces for the use of mass executions, torture and starvation as weapons of war.
