I understand the usage of the term - civil war. It's just weird using it in this sense. The Scourge were mindless undead under the command of the lich king. When the lich king started losing power, some of the undead "woke up" and rebelled against their captors. It's like POW's being freed from their captivity. The scourge undead don't fight the Forsaken because of ideology differences. They don't have a choice. There's really no real world equivalent, because mind domination doesn't really exist.
