What Happened to Syria?18 Jun 2021

Episode 7 - The Great Friday (April 1 to April 22, 2011)

The regime and its opponents both dig in their heels while each tries to convince the other to give up. Appeasement, brutality, and other mix-messaging dominate the regime's approach to increasing unrest while protestors continue to put their lives on the line to voice their grievances.

This culminates in the Great Friday, where Syria sees its largest protests and highest death toll thus far.
