Beirut 1860: The Massacre That Remade Lebanon
Om avsnittet
In this episode, Lucas and Luna unravel the 1860 civil war in Mount Lebanon, a conflict that pitted Maronite peasants against Druze lords and ended with a massacre in Damascus. They explore the feudal system, the Tanzimat reforms that shook it, and the brutal events that killed thousands and toppled the old order. The conversation covers the role of the qabaday, the Ottoman response, and the international commission that led to the Organic Statute of Mount Lebanon—a turning point that shaped Lebanon's future sectarian politics. Along the way, they reflect on how a history of peace and violence can be tangled in memory, and how the echoes of 1860 still ripple through modern Lebanon.
