A big part of Sophie's World is Hilde's father fighting in Lebanon. This conflict began in 1975 and lasted for six years. It can be best characterized as a civil war between Muslims and Christians. The fighting was caused by a Christian leader and a Muslim General. Also, many Muslims and Christians were uncivil towards each other. Three major militias were created: the Christians, Sunni, and the Shi'a. 150,000 people were killed and another 200,000 wounded. This information gave me a better idea of how Albert must have felt.
