Beirut 1860: The Massacre That Remade Lebanon's Sects
In 1860, sectarian violence erupted in Mount Lebanon, culminating in a massacre of thousands of Christians in Damascus and Beirut. The episode explores the causes: Ottoman reforms, Druze-Maronite tensions, and the collapse of the old order. Lucas and Luna discuss the immediate events, the international response (French intervention, the Règlement Organique), and how it reshaped Lebanon's political geography—creating the mutasarrifiyya system that lasted until World War I. They also touch on the role of foreign consuls, the Damascus trials, and the legacy of trauma that still echoes in Lebanese memory. A deep dive into a pivotal but often overlooked turning point.
