Lebanon's Ottoman Defiance: The Battle of Ain al-Tine
Om avsnittet
While earlier episodes explored the Phoenician alphabet and the silk trade, we now turn to a pivotal moment in Lebanon’s military history that few know: the Battle of Ain al-Tine in 1711. This episode examines how Emir Fakhr al-Din Ma'an II defied the Ottoman Empire, rallying local tribes and securing a rare victory that temporarily made Mount Lebanon independent. We trace the rise of the Shihab Dynasty, the tactical brilliance of the mountain warfare, and the eventual collapse of this autonomous period under Sultan Ahmed III. From the rugged peaks of the Chouf to the political maneuvering in Istanbul, discover how one battle reshaped the balance of power in the Levant for decades.
