I'd think the Hundred Years War had that one beat. You had multiple nations claiming legitimacy over a whole country.

not just the wars, but the political stuff

pretty damn interesting my personal favorite civil conflict.
The interpretations and misinterpretations by historians centuries after are another aspect worth study

Do we count the Thirty Years War as a kind of civil war?

Speaking of Civil wars. I remember reading about the Argentine Civil War which was around the time of the American one if I remember right, Buy the last few battles they lost so many men they start placint dummy's in fake uniforms out in the stupid arse marching rank lines. They also used kids as young as 5-6years old and putting them in uniforms and giving them sticks that looked like rifles to make it look like their army had more soldiers. Crazy

The population in the 1800 wasn't near what is was in the US but the percentage of men that died was crazy. they literally lost a few consecutive generations completely, I'm making this number up but it was something like only 25% of the males lived. That's infusing infants and old old men. So there was almost no breeding population when it was over.

ive always held the opinion that the russian civil war is one of the most interesting developments in human history. it straight up pops up in the middle of fricking ww1 and its result is one of the most important conflict resolutions in human history

but this question is open for interpretation. the american revolutionary war was basically a civil war and that was essentially a world war at its end which is pretty nuts
