Beirut 1860: The Massacre That Changed Lebanon Forever

8 min•1 juli 2026

In 1860, sectarian violence erupted across Mount Lebanon, culminating in a massacre of thousands of Christians by Druze and Muslim forces. This episode explores the causes—from feudal tensions to Ottoman reforms—and the aftermath: the French military intervention and the creation of the Mutasarrifiyya, a Christian-governed autonomous region that reshaped Lebanese identity. We discuss the role of the Druze Jumblatt family, the Maronite clergy, and the European powers, and how this event set the stage for Lebanon's modern confessional system.
