take over / get control

[Milczek]

Hi ! I have problem with three verbs : take over, get control , take control .
These vebrs mean the same in the following sentences?

Example,
The war has been breaking out three years ago. Now, enemies try to take over the capilat.
The war has been breaking out three years ago. Now, enemies try to take control of the capilat.
The war has been breaking out three years ago. Now, enemies try to get control the capilat.

Are differences in meanings beetwen sentences above?

None of the sentences are correct.

The first part should be "The war broke out three years ago."

The second part needs a progressive form:

are trying to take over
are trying to take control
are trying to get control

...and 'capilat' should be 'capital'.

Say:

Do these words mean the same in the following three sentences?
-----------------------
(Do you know how "capital" is spelled?)

None of the sentences are correct.

The second part needs a progressive form:

are trying to take over
are trying to take control
are trying to get control

I thought we use present perfect progressive to say about actions which started in the past and continue to the present.

And Why should I write "are trying" . Maybe enemies attacked the capital yesterday, and they'll attack the capital tomorrow and they aren't attacking the capital now? I read that We use verbs + ing when we talk about actions at this moment.

...and 'capilat' should be 'capital'.

Of course , I know it but I copied these sentences and I didn't notice this mistake.

Milczek, the trying is continuing over a period of time.
