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.

[@HikmaHistory]

@@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?

[@theredstonesword9293]

@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).

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

[@seanhastings4432]

“Never turn their guns on the Lebanese” except their Shia Lebanese critics, Rafic Hariri, and really anyone who’s ever caused them problems.

[@donnyjoe123]

Samir Geagea didn’t attack the Lebanese army it was the opposite, the army and the LF fought side by side for the entire war until January 31 1989 when general Michel Aoun who was made prime minister earlier and refused to step down despite a president being elected attacked the Lebanese Forces

[@chelladurairamesh3526]

Nice narration of the History of Lebanon.

You forgot the most important point in Lebanon's modern development, Lebanon took over large areas with Muslim populations because these areas had the food, and this was the real cause of the later ethnic problems.

[@kentjesuita]

Perhaps you should read some more history. It was the Muslim conquest of the Levant (parts of which is now Lebanon) in the 7th century that started the persecution of Christians who had already been there since the 5th century.

[@WagesOfDestruction]

@@kentjesuita The Muslim conquest of the Levant in the 7th century certainly had significant impacts, but religious conflicts and persecutions in this region have a more complex history. For instance, before the Muslim conquest, some Christian groups had engaged in the persecution of Jews and pagans who had inhabited the area before them. However, let us focus on the issue, if the aim was to create a Christian state, was it strategically sound to incorporate large areas with predominantly Muslim populations? The inclusion of these Muslim-majority areas has profound implications for Lebanon's political structure and stability today.

[@kentjesuita]

@@WagesOfDestruction While acknowledging that Christians have persecuted other religious groups in he past (and still now arguably), I think your question should be reversed - since Christianity was an integral part of Middle Eastern culture century before Islam began, and the first Christians were actually Jews and pagans. The question should be why do fundamentalist Islamist groups want to create Muslim states? Why can't Christians and Muslims live together peacefully in Lebanon? The reality today is that Christians are the ones fleeing Lebanon, Syria etc...... because of violent militant groups. In countries like Indonesia and Malaysia, Muslims and Christians live side by side in "relative" stability (relative to the Middle East - there is still some tension)

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.

In retrospect, the idea of peaceful coexistence between Christians and Muslims in Lebanon was excessively optimistic. Everyone assumed that the Muslim Arab world only needed to be given power and a chance to self-govern. What's happened since then is the gradual exposure of the true face of islam in Arabia. Salafism is a grotesquely medieval and imperialistic religious ideology and it has been the leading cultural movement in the Arab world in the past century. Lebanon almost would have done better if it had ejected it's muslims when it was founded, I'm sorry to say. And yes i know that's a horrible thought.

[@taysondynastyemperor5124]

Salafism started being propagated by Saudi Arabia (and the other Gulf monarchies to a lesser extent) funding Salafi religious scholars, religious literature, televangelists, and so forth starting from the 70's and 80's. Although I understand your point about ejecting Muslims out of Lebanon.

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.

[@Kruppt808]

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.

And in Nazareth (in Israel) Muslims have become the majority. This is due to differences between Islam and Christianity, and the former has pressured the latter in many ways within Israel’s Arab population. Thus this trend is a Muslim anti-Christian trend not Israel.

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.

[@okorijames3798]

Could it be because Arabs were the first promoters of Islam. So, the Arab people, culture, and identity became swallowed up by Islam. This is why you say non-Arans in Egypt and North Africa who spoke Arabic became intertwined with Arab culture. You have not made an attempt to separate Arab people, culture, and and language from Islam, or are they the same?

[@الملكالصحرا]

@@okorijames3798 The arrival of Islam significantly influenced the cultural practices of non-Muslims in Africa. Prior to its spread, certain practices such as female genital mutilation and aspects of fratricide were prevalent. Islam introduced a moral framework that challenged these customs. However, its message was often misinterpreted, largely due to the fact that it was Arabs who initially propagated Islam. Consequently, many native populations came to associate Islam with Arab identity, leading to a gradual Arabization of North Africa, as well as parts of Europe and Asia. Moreover, Arab kingdoms established across these regions, particularly in North Africa, Asia, and Europe, sometimes exhibited intolerance towards indigenous cultures and populations. This led to efforts aimed at either eradicating or assimilating local traditions. As a result, some areas in the Middle East are now predominantly identified with Arab culture, often assuming Arab customs. It is important to note, however, that Islam and Arab identity are distinct from one another. Many people in North Africa, the Levant, and the wider Muslim world have their own unique cultures, which differ significantly from Arab culture.

[@okorijames3798]

@الملكالصحرا "Interestingly, your discussion does not separate Arab culture, language, and identity from Islamic culture and identity. Yet Islam is only a few centuries old. So, where is Arab culture and identity

[@الملكالصحرا]

@okorijames3798 It does Islam is considered a way of life by many Muslims. And this way of life is neutral to all cultures. So things like for example: prayers, rituals for the dead, talking manners, eating etc... are different from that of the Arab traditions.

[@okorijames3798]

@الملكال Arab culture could have been swallowed by Islamic teachings which was militarily imposed on it in places where it was not peacefully welcomed. And talking about Arab/Moslem culture being superior in North Africa, also tell us about the issue of child marriage to adults more than double their age, tell us about treatment of women as chattels, tell us about killing of family members which you think is superior culture

So for Muslims they are heretics and for druze they believe they are also separated religion..

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.
