Summary/Abstract: The goal of this current research is to figure out the events that led to the violence in Syria. In this respect, the author will conduct an open-source analysis focused on online media in order to pinpoint the key events of the conflict in Syria as well as to understand the main reasons for this conflict during its first phase, as seen by the media. This chronological approach will eventually try to draw a series of up-to-date conclusions regarding the impact of this conflict on the international arena, mentioning President Obama’s efforts made during the G20 Sankt Petersburg Summit to convince the participants to get involved in a military mission in Syria as well as the unexpected solution found by Russia, namely to suggest Syria to place its entire WMD stockpile under international control.
