The Battle of Aleppo was one of the most important battles of the Syrian Civil War. It lasted for four years and resulted in the deaths of over 100,000 people. The battle was a turning point in the war, and it had a major impact on the future of Syria.

The battle began in July 2012, when rebel forces launched an offensive against government-held areas of Aleppo. The rebels quickly captured several neighborhoods, and they soon controlled most of the eastern half of the city. However, the government forces were able to hold on to the western half of the city, and the two sides settled into a bloody stalemate.
