In the summer of 1920 it became clear that the many different voices and local opinions on the future of the former Ottoman provinces were going to be mostly ignored. France and Britain had their own ideas for the new mandate states in the region.

In early 1919, Italian PM Orlando met with Vittorio Emanuele III before leaving for Versailles. The King asked him if he intended to challenge Sykes-Picot at all. Orlando shook his head and replied, "There's a reason that the Old Romans left, Majesty- too many problems there". How right he was.

It's a fitting comment for what Orlando sees there in 1919. But the actual Romans didn't leave, they were swept out by an Arab conquest in 634. -- Most of the population remained and converted, so presumably a lot of (eastern) Roman ancestry is still there.

people keep saying the middle east (or the balkans) is always a mess while it is just an area that had a power vacuum due to the collapse of a former empire like anytime in history, the only difference is that instead of one conflict solving the issue and giving birth to a new dominating power in the region the new "global system" ushered by the victorious powers of the great war did not allow the creation of such a force, and thus kept the region divided and always on the verge of collapse.

@markmcelroy1872 2 года назад

Lol, I did not really state my own position from that global system (just pointing out that people shouldn't be surprised of its outcomes and blame it on the region's people themselves), If I would criticize such a system I might do it on the basis that I don't believe that the great powers who created it have the right to intervene in all these countries (but would need to search on its effect world wide before issuing my final judgement) your statements could branch to other topics like "is israel the natural force that could unite the region incase the global system did not exist" or "were the moving parts of the system biased to the arabs more than israel" and I am relatively sure (from your statement) that I wouldn't agree with you anyway at the end.

Absolutely no. (Check the first lebanese civil war) Trying to reduce all the negative aspects of a society into a single cause is under-estimation for the way history progresses

As a Norwegian, I think we tend to be very sensitive toward other people and cultures and for that reason, I’d would start by seeing that your title is misleading: it should be : the creation of Greater Lebanon, for that Lebanon is one of the most ancient nations in humanity, known as ancient Phoenicia, the land that gave us the Alphabet and it’s the birthplace of Europe, after all Europe or’ Erp’ in Aramaic ( the language spoken by the Phoenicians was Aramaic) was a Phoenician princess. They founded Carthage and the people of Tyre founded half of the Mediterranean cities in Cypress, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Malta up to Antibes ( a Phoenician name and Marseille... they weren’t only limited to the Eastern Mediterranean.. so Lebanon’s history, just with the ancient city of Byblos, it spans a history of more than ten thousand years.. it’s considered as the cradle of civilization along with ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia and Assyria..

@@ahmadz81 not much is know about the Phonecians but genetic studies were done and there is a distinct genetic marker for those people in Lebanon which represents roughly 30% of the population and largely coastal. The genetics uncovered bring those Phonecian people in close relation to the people of Mesopotamia… also that genetic marker is found very highly in the Caucuses mountains today (Georgia, Armenia and Chechnya). So one would infer from those data that the Phoenicians are a population that is related to the Caucuses mountains populations of today. In fact, the Arabs of the Arabian peninsula also have roots in the Caucuses mountains with migrations from that region 7,000 years ago. There’s no need to ascribe a fake gaslight narrative around the Phonecians. There is ample evidence for their origin. At the same time, Phonecians weren’t exactly a people with a singular origin. In fact they were a nation that probably had a diverse population made up of people with different ethnic backgrounds that were United by culture and commerce moreso than genetic lineage.

Interesting. My best friends are Lebanese, at least that's how they would describe themselves. Their grandparents, who emigrated to the U.S. during the troubled times spelled out here never saw themselves as Lebanese. If anything, when asked, they would say they were Assyrian's. In reality, they were Chaldean's, a Christian sect who were being squeezed by all sides at that time. My friends were raised in the Roman Catholic tradition, same as me, but their grandparents saw themselves as aligned with, but not part of, the Vatican Papacy. And that was their real allegiance,. They saw themselves in cultural, not nationalistic terms and never felt a close bond to Lebanon as a nation-state. They would always simply refer to it as the old country and they said it with a tinge of sadness because none of the family ever returned. The story of Lebanon is tragic. It's creation was not thought out properly and the idea that France would protect Christian minorities fell flat. One of the tragedies of drawing arbitrary lines based on old maps is that it has put Lebanon smack dab in the middle of hostile powers and as they go to war to with each other they tend to use the place as a highway. It suffers the same type of problems based on geography that Poland has traditionally endured. I think I would have like to have seen it as it was before WWI. From the stories I heard as a child it was a beautiful region with lots of tress and while there was tension, people mostly got along. Sykes-Picot strikes again. A curse on that fowl agreement between gentlemen.

@smothdude Год назад

I never thought of comparing Lebanon to Poland, but I definitely see it. I am Lebanese, my family is, and has been. It hurts me what our country has been through, and continues to go through. So much of the conflict is based on religion, it is ironic that religious protection was the original goal. Sigh...

When a piece of land which is semi desert as u are saying have snows falling on it, then it is not a desert. Deserts have camels. Lebanon never had Lebanese bedouins. They were farmers. If you want to say we have syrian bedouins then those are the ones fleeing the syrian war. Thousands are coming to lebanon as refugees and no one can stop them. This is a conspiracy. Anyway this is not a debate. The video is misleading.

Lebanon is much older than syria . and whoever considers Lebanon as a fake state that has been splitted from syria , has to tell when did it happen in all of lebanon's history that lebanese were known as syrians ?? it never happened .. Sikes Picot , returned to Lebanon the 4 cazas that thr ottomans have splitted and annexed them to damascus in order to weaken lebanese resistance ... unbelievable how bad the world is and how fast lies run

I do not know why writing about border foul-ups always concentrates on the Middle East. The breakup of empires is always a problem people do not appreciate there were similar foul ups in Europe for example the Polish corridor incorporated majority German areas into a new Poland to give it access to the sea. The incorporation of areas 75% German into the new state of Czechoslovakia against their will giving Hitler a grievance to exploit. The incorporation of people who hated each others guts into the new state of Yugoslavia that collapsed after 70 years. Let's not forget the South Tyrol where predominantly Austrian people were unwillingly given to Italy a situation they are still not entirely happy with.

Ah. Y. Not entirely. Globally yes. They kinda got relegated to regional powers. You can look at France now and the pull they still have over certain west and Central African countries through the monetary system, most of these countries are obligated to hold most of their foreign currency reserves in French accounts. France has been rather active if not more so in Africa than the US. It’s just not as publicized in America. They’ve done several interventions in varying scale. They have their own war on terror in the Sahel since they launched an intervention in Mali in late 2012 against Tuareg tribes fresh with weapons from serving as mercenaries in Libya for Qaddafi that had aligned with some offshoot of al queda at the time. The French are still there. Don’t underestimate what the French are able to do. It helps that they have an expendable foreign legion when it comes to body bags returning. The brits have definitely had their influence fade compared to France. But it doesn’t change the fact they’ve gotten involved in interventions that serve their interests.
