From the transcript

It was, the Defining Global Conflict of the 2010s, the tragic culmination of what was once called the Arab Spring, and even today, it is one of the most horrific ongoing conflicts on the planet. Since it began in 2011, the Syrian Civil War has been a bloody war of attrition and a desperate attempt to oust President Bashar al-Assad from power.

In that time, the war is played host to the rise and fall of a long list of rebel organizations and independence movements.

It's seen the Islamic State come and go and come again, and it's been a focal point for the world's major powers, the main players of the Middle East, and a very, very long list of non-Syrian fighters all seeking to turn the situation to their own advantage in some way or another.
