I still don t see either Burds or Snyder describing these massacres as civil war or even as part of a civil war They do say there was a civil war but in both cases they seem to be talking about what came after the massacres This touches upon an issue we have discussed previously and that s the scope of the article Ideally we would like to have a meta article on the Polish Ukrainian conflict which could span the interwar period the occupation period and the immediate post war period and there describing the general events as a civil war would have a place And then this article would be one of the sub articles in that conflict But this article is about massacres in Volhynia and Galicia which were not a civil war
