6 min•4 maj 2026

In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the pivotal year 1920, when the French Mandate redrew the map of the Middle East. They focus on the proclamation of Greater Lebanon under General Henri Gouraud, the Battle of Maysalun, and the resistance of King Faysal. The conversation weaves in figures like Maronite Patriarch Elias al-Hoyek, Druze intellectuals, and the Syrian National Congress. Lucas explains how French cartography and political maneuvering created a multi-sectarian state that would struggle for stability for decades. The episode touches on the impact of the Sykes-Picot Agreement, the King-Crane Commission, and the San Remo Conference, offering a fresh angle on Lebanon's contested birth.
