The First Liberian Civil War began in December 1989 when Charles Taylor, leading the National Patriotic Front of Liberia (NPFL), launched an armed rebellion against the government of President Samuel Doe. The conflict arose from deep-seated political, ethnic, and economic grievances, including widespread corruption and human rights abuses under Doe's regime. Taylor's initial invasion sparked a brutal civil war, drawing in various factions and ultimately leading to significant loss of life and displacement of civilians. The war continued until a peace agreement was reached in 1997.
