The 1860 Druze-Maronite Massacres
Om avsnittet
In 1860, the fragile peace of Mount Lebanon collapsed into one of the region’s most devastating sectarian conflicts. This episode explores the events leading up to the massacres that left thousands dead, focusing on the complex web of tribal rivalries, Ottoman administrative failures, and foreign intervention. We examine the role of key figures like Emir Bashir II Shihab’s successors, the rising influence of European consuls, and the eventual military response from France and the Ottoman Empire. Through the stories of survivors and the political maneuvering in Istanbul and Paris, we uncover how this tragedy reshaped the demographic and political landscape of the Levant for generations to come.
