The 1860 Mount Lebanon Massacre
Om avsnittet
In the summer of 1860, a wave of violence swept through Mount Lebanon and Damascus, shattering the fragile balance between Maronite Christians and Druze Muslims. This episode explores the immediate triggers of the massacre, from the arrival of French warships to the internal tribal rivalries that fueled the bloodshed. We examine how Ottoman reforms failed to prevent the crisis and how European powers intervened, reshaping the region's political map. Listeners will learn about the role of local leaders like Bashir Gemayel’s ancestors and the diplomatic maneuvering in Paris and London that followed the tragedy.
