Multi-sided Civil Wars

[Dieder]

Are multi-sided Civil wars possible in game? That's my main question.

I would like to know because a civil war is rarely completly two-sided.
I'm not talking about foreign involvement, like lend-lease or a foreign power sending troops. I'm talking about internal sides.

So for example. If I stage a coup in let's say France. A democratic, a sovjet and a facist territory emerge. They fight each other for dominance etc. or ally one another to get one side down.

Real life examples are (dont know if it's to controversial to mention these) The Yugoslavian civil war and the current Syrian conflict.

Let me know what you guys think and also if you know if it is ingame? Thanks in advance!

No. Sometimes a faction might have large political support from different ideologies (such as the Republican side in the Spanish Civil War), but a civil war always happen between two parties at a time.

Thanks!

Highly doubt it. A multi-sided war would very likely have to be represented by having multiple two-sided wars between the various participants.

It would only make sense that it just be between two parties. If a third party is wanting to make gains, they would just sit quiet and wait for the current civil war to blow over while their own men are rested and ready.
