Title

Friedrich Ebert Stiftung, Lebanon

Description

Excerpted from the website:

Located on the Eastern shore of the Mediterranean between Syria and Israel, Lebanon is a comparatively small country of around 10,452 sq km in size. When the Ottoman Empire lost control over Mount Lebanon during the First World War, France stepped in and enlarged the former Ottoman province in 1920 by adding the port towns of Beirut, Tripoli, Sidon and Tyre as well as the Bekaa Valley and the Northern and Southern border areas to what was referred to then as Grand Liban (Greater Lebanon). After it was awarded a mandate over this territory in 1922 by the League of Nations, France put a constitution in place in 1926 that was left largely untouched even after Lebanon’s independence in 1943.
