The French military campaign on Mount Lebanon (1860-1861)


Abstract in English

Mount Lebanon distinguished itself from other Ottoman states with the administrative autonomy resulting from its specificity and its reliance on Western assistance and support on the other hand, which the Ottoman Empire understood and was not opposed by the West in pursuit of its colonial interests.
