Do you think a Greater Syria state that merges Lebanon and Syria would make sense? Full Modern History Playlist: th-cam.com/play/PLiPhmAD3I2Jz6goEJlQ1zh6KkbeBWZ2pP.html
As a Lebanese, definitely not. Imagine anyone talking about your country and asking whether or not it should be absorbed by its much larger, more populous neighbor. It's infuriating that people think they can speak for us. We don't want Syrian or Israeli occupation.
@@theredstonesword9293 That would be the main worry, similar to what happen with the UAR. Do you think a federalised system, where Lebanon keeps much of its autonomy, would work?
@HikmaHistory a federalised system with Lebanon being guaranteed much of its autonomy would make it much more acceptable but even so I think it's far too late for any unification to occur. The closest and most realistic alternative which was already probably going to happen was an organization like the EU being formed. This was in the works, I believe it was called the Levantine Quartet but the project failed due to the Syrian civil war. I think most Lebanese would support this (EU style union).
I know this is a serious video but each time I see the word Lebanon, I'm reminded of a story Danny Thomas told years ago. The subject of his heritage came up while speaking to an older woman. When he told her he was Lebanese, she gave a surprised look and asked how that was possible. She was sure only women could be Lebanese.
The mount Lebanon famine was also exacerbated by the ottomans to annihilate the Maronite population. Djemal pasha said he would do to the maronites what he did to the Armenians. So it was not just the allied blockade.
The diversity of having people who are of the exact same race, language and near identical culture? Are you guys unironically claiming you can tell a lebanese and a syrian and a palestinian apart in any meaningful ways
So many people like to compare the USA to Rome, but I think about Lebanon all the time. A sudden influx of foreign immigrants always leads to political instability along ethnic lines and I believe we'll something similar play out. Everyone wants more political representation, and it always has to come at the expense of somebody else.
@@SunsetNovathis is literally a fact even the pope at the time thanked him and so did abraham lincoln, they even named a city after him in america for his deeds
The land blockade by the ottomans was the reason of the famine mount lebanon used to get its food by land and the allies blockaded everywhere at sea but only mount lebanon starved because of the ottoman land blockade.
the Maronite-Druze conflict also destroy Jewish prosperity in the Galilee region, most notably Safed experienced great turmoil. Overall the decline of the Ottomans as an administrative and military force can be seen as one the progenitors of many conflicts throughout the Middle East and the Balkans.
During the 1975 civil war the Lebanese army was attacked by the political party leader Samir Jaja , he would be later jailed at the ministry of defence under the orders of Emil Lahoud. Today the Lebanese army is a different story , any political party that shows hostilities towards the Lebanese army will essentially sign away its rights to exist, including Hezbolla who have agreed to never turn their guns on the Lebanese
To think, it could all be as simple as all these groups remembering to love one another or at least to respect each other. All this clashing, and what has it gained anyone?
Mount Lebanon, not Lebanon, other regions were also affected by the famine, Mount Lebanon was the most affected because of the fact that the mount Lebanon farmers transformed all their agricultural lands to plant only cotton and they relied on importing everything from Europe including food for Cotton, when the French and British laid siege to the entire coast of Lebanon, they prevented al the export/import ships, despite the USA attempting to appeal for the British and French to at least allow ships carrying food to pass, it all fell on deaf ears, of course it did not help that the ottomans were confiscating all the food to feed their army only, and it did not help that, a locust swarm decided to happen in that critical time. Other regions of Lebanon were not as severely affected because they have large swathes of agricultural lands.
@@mohammadjaafar1496their own government confiscating food "didn't help" but foreign powers were to blame for a hunger which touched just part of the Ottoman empire?
@@FOLIPE did you see me blaming a single entity, it was a combination of several things: 1. Transforming lots of agricultural lands from planting wheat and stuff to planting cotton. 2. The British and French siege over the entire Levantine Beach's preventing food from entering, the USA actually attempted to appeal to the French and British to allow ships carrying food to pass but they refused. 3. The ottomans deciding to confiscate all food to feed their army. 4. Levantine traders actually hoarding wheat and exploiting the situation to make more money. 5. A locust swarm happened
This may be an unpopular opinion, but I believe the Al-Nahda period represents one of the worst periods in Arab history. It diluted the uniqueness of Arab culture and history by spreading it throughout North Africa and the Levant, attempting to include other groups that suffer from an identity crisis. The Al-Nahda period, often referred to as the "Arab Renaissance," was spearheaded by an Egyptian scholar who, by ethnicity, was not Arab. In fact, much of this so-called renaissance was led by non-Arabs who spoke Arabic and sought to intertwine or involve themselves with Arab culture. Before the Al-Nahda, the term "Arab" primarily referred to an ethnic group native to the Arabian Peninsula. Some people considered the Bedouins to be the purest Arabs, but generally, "Arab" referred to the inhabitants of Arabia, spanning from Yemen to Oman and extending to modern-day southern Iraq and eastern Jordan. The new, broader definition of what it means to be Arab has complicated the historical understanding of conflicts in the Middle East. It has made it more challenging to pinpoint the root causes of the issues faced by these nations.
I watched a video on Jerome and Hebrew secrets earlier that said 3rd c. Eretz Yisrael was 1/4 each of : Rabbinites, Samaritans, pagans, and Christians. (It made me think of of U.S places with 1/4 Jews, like the Holy City of Brooklyn). Are there any other demographic snapshots that break down like that?; like Convivensia of Spain being 1/3 each: Muslim, Jewish, Christian.

Its a piece of Syria carved out by French colonists to give the Christians there their own homeland yet it failed in that regard because Lebanon has a Muslim plurality. Colonists thought creating countries on the sole basis of religion was a good idea while totally neglecting the linguistic and ethnic composition of the region they were dividing.
That's where you are touching on the realities of the region, religious affiliations were never a driving force for the interactions between people in the region, for the Ottomans as long as you were collecting their taxes and attacking their enemies, they did not care if you become a hindu, the cases of people changing religions for benefits was very common as well, and it happened both ways, moreover, there was a lot of cases were Levantine Muslims and Christians banded together to fight against foreign Christians and Muslims, you see, during the crusaders invasion, the Maronite Christians allied with the Shia against them.

If anything the ottoman made the middle east fall into ruins, the seljuk took over the middle east which end the islamic "golden" age.

No, Germany and the Central Powers was never really close to victory. The Ottoman Empire and Austria-Hungry were on there way out. The best case scenario would be Germany mirroring Napoleon in 1812, having control of most of the continent but not able to get to England or the US and would have lost eventually anyway. Remember the CP we’re in an uphill battle from the start in 1914, the Allies had access to 5.2 times the population, 11.5 times the territory, and 2.9 times the output of the Central Powers.
Germany had won a huge victory against Russia and signed a massive land grab treaty. The leaders wanted victory in the West instead of withdrawal from France and stick with the gains in the East. The blockade was starving Germany, unrestricted submarine warfare brought the USA into the the Ent camp and virtually lost the CP a victory. If the Germans leaders had stayed in Romania, Italy but withdrawal in France that might have made the Ent come to the negotiating table. France had its army mutiny in 1917 at certain parts.

Lebanon was never Christian to make it Christian again, moreover, Lebanon does not really have a Lebanese Muslim Christian problem, we actually live together normally.

All the 18 religions/sects living together in Lebanon, when you ask them what their identity is, they will all say we are Lebanese, on the other hand, in the region around us, people have a hard time identifying with either their religious identity or their cultural identity, for both non Lebanese Christians and Muslims.
