What are some underrated/interesting conflicts that happened after the Second World War?
To get the ball rolling, I wanna mention the Lebanese Civil War from 1975-1990
>early '70s, a incredibly religiously diverse small country: politics/representation are officially sectarian, Christians hold most of the power, and Palestinian refugees (including their political leadership) are pouring in
>conflict emerges between Christians (Maronites) and Palestinians + their leftist/Druze/Pan-Arabist allies
>an 'Arab peacekeeping force' (mostly Syrian) gets involved
>Syria takes on a huge role in supporting Lebanese Muslims, at times occupying most of the country, and eventually making Lebanon a satellite state
>countless number of militias, phases, sub-conflicts, shifting alliances (i.e. Lebanese Armed Forces flipping from US to Syria) and sectarian massacres
>Israel, seeing that the only state in the region that doesn't hate it is collapsing, intervenes in 1982 and also occupies part of the country
>supports Christian forces in the south to create a buffer
>Hezbollah come out of nowhere as Lebanese Shi'as, many of whom live in the south, are backed by now-Islamist Iran to counter Israeli-Christian forces
>UN tries to step and it predictably fails
>U.S. embassy gets bombed - Navy responds by bombarding Syrian-backed forces, Marines deployed to support UN effort
>in 1989/1990, political reforms get rid of confessional system and allow Muslims (i.e. Syria) more power - civil war technically over
>low-intensity conflict STILL happening
>Syrian forces remain in Lebanon until mass public demonstrations/"revolution" (in 2005)
>Lebanon, once an oasis of stability and prosperity (at least for the large Christian minority) in the Middle East, is decimated and chronically unstable since
