Beirut 1860: The Massacre That Changed Lebanon Forever
In 1860, sectarian violence tore through Mount Lebanon and Damascus, leaving thousands dead and reshaping the region's political future. This episode focuses on the Druze-Christian clashes in Deir al-Qamar and Zahle, the French military intervention that followed, and the establishment of the Mutasarrifiyya system that gave Mount Lebanon a measure of autonomy. Lucas and Luna explore how the massacre exposed the weakness of Ottoman rule, the role of European powers, and the long shadow it cast on Lebanon's fragile communal balance. They discuss key figures like the British consul Colonel Charles Henry Churchill and the French general Charles de Beaufort d'Hautpoul, and the controversial Règlement Organique that created a Christian governor for the mountain. This episode dives into a pivotal but often overlooked turning point that set the stage for modern Lebanon.
