No, absolutely not. World War I and the collapse of the Ottoman
Empire was a crisis war for Syria and the region. There were armies
on the ground in Syria during WW II, but they were mostly fighting
each other. WW II was an Awakening era war for the Mideast and
Russia.

Syria's next generational crisis was the Syrian civil war between
Shia/Alawites and Sunni Arabs, climaxing with the Hama massacre in
1982.

Here's an article that goes into the Alawite-Sunni history:

Lots of things are crises. The hurricane approaching New Orleans this
weekend is a major crisis, but it's not a generational crisis war.
Neither is the rise of a totalitarian order.

More idiotic nonsense based in vitriolic hatred of 60 million
Trump supporters.
