Best Answer

The first "civil war" was in England and was fought for control of the country. The U.S. Civil War was fought between the majority of the nation and a breakaway region. Today, "civil war" means a war fought mainly within one country, whether the reason for fighting is to take over the whole country or to break away a part as a new country.
