Beirut 1840: The Egyptian Occupation That Remade Lebanon
In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the Egyptian occupation of Lebanon under Ibrahim Pasha from 1831 to 1840. They discuss how Muhammad Ali's son reshaped Mount Lebanon's social and economic order, imposing conscription and disarmament that angered local clans. The episode covers the pivotal Battle of Baysour in 1840, where Druze and Maronite rebels allied with Ottoman and British forces to expel the Egyptians. It also examines the role of Emir Bashir Shihab II, who allied with Egypt and was later exiled. Finally, they touch on the 1840 bombardment of Beirut and the signing of the Treaty of London, which set the stage for the 1841 civil wars and the later Qaimaqamate system. Topics include the Kesserman chapter, the impact of European powers, and the legacy of Ibrahim Pasha's reforms.
