How It All Began - A Concise History Of Lebanon
Historian Kamal Salibi presents a chapter from his book "From a House of Many Mansions, The history of lebanon Reconsidered."
http://almashriq.hiof.no/lebanon/900/902/Kamal-Salibi

Extractions: Reproduced by kind permission of the author. How it all began - A concise history of Lebanon To create a country is one thing; to create a nationality is another. In the wake of the first world war, which ended with the destruction of the German, Austro-Hungarian, Russian and Ottoman empires, it was possible for the victorious Allies to redraw the political map of much of the world. In Europe, Germany and Austria-Hungary, defeated in the war, re-emerged as the German, Austrian and Hungarian republics. Meanwhile, the Bolshevik revolution was already beginning to transform the Russian empire into the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. From European territories formerly German, Austro-Hungarian or Russian, new European states emerged. The overseas colonies of Germany, in Africa and elsewhere, were divided between Britain and France as mandates under licence from the newly organized League of Nations. Meanwhile, the Ottoman empire, as a result of its defeat in the war, had virtually ceased to exist. The Turkish heartlands, successfully reclaimed from Allied occupation by the Kemalist revolution, were ultimately reconstituted as the Turkish Republic; but the Arab provinces in historical Mesopotamia and Syria were irretrievably lost, and subsequently divided between Britain and France, again as mandated territory, with the provision that they must be prepared as soon as possible for independence.

Extractions: Let 's go back in history and have a look at one of the oldest civilization in the world. Lebanon has a rich history. From its geographical position Lebanon was the center of the ancient world. So many civilizations had foot in the eastern region of the Mediterranean sea, from the Phoenicians to the Romans then the Ottoman Empire, and the French colonist. History was written on rocks, in the "Ourjouan" (purple) color, in the Alphabet, under the old ruins, by pen, by stories and myths, legends of the old world, in the heart of kings or "amir" (prince), by art and music, architecture and science, poets and writers, in the cedars and in the echoing sounds of the mountains and deep valleys, by all religions and wars, by love and piece !!!

http://www.lonelyplanet.com/destinations/middle_east/lebanon/history.htm

Extractions: Lebanon Lebanon was the biblical 'land of milk and honey', and conquerors have always been attracted to its abundant natural resources, the safe anchorages on the coastline and the defensive possibilities of the high mountains. This has turned the country's history into a who's who of interlopers, pillagers and big-noters. The shores of Lebanon attracted settlers from about 10,000 BC onwards and by about 3000 BC, their villages had evolved into prototype cities. By around 2500 BC the coast had been colonised by people who later became known as the Phoenicians, one of the Mediterranean's greatest early civilisations. The Phoenicians never unified politically: they dominated as a result of enterprise and intellectual endeavour emanating from a string of independent city states. They ruled the sea with their superior vessels and navigational skills, were exceptional craftspeople, and created the first real alphabet. In the 9th century BC, the Assyrians clomped in, breaking the Phoenician's monopoly on Mediterranean trade. They yielded to the Neo-Babylonians, who were in turn overcome by the Persians (whom the Phoenicians regarded as liberators). The Phoenicians finally declined when Alexander the Great swept through the Middle East in the 4th century BC and Phoenicia was gradually Hellenised. In 64 BC, Pompey the Great conquered Phoenicia and it became part of the Roman province of Syria. Beirut became an important centre under Herod the Great and splendid temples were built at Baalbek.

http://www.rimbaud.freeserve.co.uk/lebanon_phonecia.htm

Extractions: The area now known as Lebanon first appeared in recorded history around 3000 B.C. as a group of coastal cities and a heavily forested hinterland. It was inhabited by the Canaanites, a Semitic people, whom the Greeks called "Phoenicians" because of the purple (phoinikies) dye they sold. These early inhabitants referred to themselves as "men of Sidon" or the like, according to their city of origin, and called the country "Lebanon." Because of the nature of the country and its location, the Phoenicians turned to the sea, where they engaged in trade and navigation. Each of the coastal cities was an independent kingdom noted for the special activities of its inhabitants. Tyre and Sidon were important maritime and trade centers; Gubla (later known as Byblos and now as Jbail) and Berytus (present-day Beirut) were trade and religious centers. Gubla was the first Phoenician city to trade actively with Egypt and the pharaohs of the Old Kingdom (2686-2181 B.C.), exporting cedar, olive oil, and wine, while importing gold and other products from the Nile Valley. Before the end of the seventeenth century B.C., Lebanese Egyptian relations were interrupted when the Hyksos, a nomadic Semitic people, conquered Egypt. After about three decades of Hyksos rule (1600-1570 B.C.), Ahmose I (1570-45 B.C.), a Theban prince, launched the Egyptian liberation war. Opposition to the Hyksos increased, reaching a peak during the reign of the pharaoh Thutmose III (1490-36 B.C.), who invaded Syria, put an end to Hyksos domination, and incorporated Lebanon into the Egyptian Empire.

Extractions: Country Info Lebanon Introduction Lebanon General Data Lebanon Maps Lebanon Culture ... Lebanon Time and Date Lebanon History Back to Top Lebanons coastal plain is divided into several isolated sections by gorges, which are cut by streams that pour down the mountains in winter and spring. In ancient times, north-south movement along the plain was nearly impossible. Villages developed on larger sections of the plain, and those with good harbors and better agricultural areas evolved into the city-states of Phoenicia. These cities then used the Mediterranean Sea to communicate and trade with one another and beyond the coastal plain. Due to geographical and other barriers, however, Phoenicia never unified politically. Later, mountainous areas provided protection for groups seeking refuge, but these groups, too, were isolated and did not form a unified nation. The evidence of tools found in caves along the coast of Lebanon shows that the area was inhabited from the Paleolithic through the Neolithic periods. Village life followed the domestication of plants and animals, with Byblos apparently taking the lead. At this site also appear the first traces in Lebanon of pottery and metallurgy by the 4th millennium BC. The Phoenicians, indistinguishable from the Canaanites of Palestine, probably arrived in the land that became Phoenicia in about 3000 BC. Herodotus and other Classical writers preserve a tradition that they came from the coast of the Erythraean Sea, but in fact nothing certain is known of their original homeland.

Extractions: Lebanon lies midway between Interstates 75 and 71, approximately 30 miles north of Cincinnati, 30 miles south of Dayton, and is the heart of Warren County, which is the second fastest growing County in the State of Ohio. It originally began as a stagecoach stop on the route between then Losantiville, and on to Xenia, Ohio. From there the stage proceeded to Columbus, the State Capitol. Lebanon is a city of approximately 17,000 and currently comprises approximately 11.9 square miles. It is ideally located near three interstate highways, allowing rapid delivery and ease of transportation between other major cities, yet retains a quaint colonial look to its thriving downtown area. It is supported by an excellent school system and reasonable taxes and utility rates. This makes Lebanon an ideal place to live, thrive, and raise a family.

http://www.travel-guide.com/data/lbn/lbn580.asp

Extractions: The 1996 elections returned Hariri to continue as premier and the ex-Amal guerrilla leader, Nabih Berri, as speaker of the assembly. The original division of responsibilities between president and premier, which saw President Hrawi take charge of foreign policy while Prime Minister Rafik Hariri looked after the reconstruction programme, was also confirmed. That division has remained ever since and much of the country, and Beirut in particular, has recovered to something near its pre-war condition. Hariri relinquished his job in 1998, and at the same time Hrawi was replaced by Jamil Lahad as president. However Hariri, now a dominant figure in Lebanese politics, was reinstated in 2000 following the most recent poll which saw 17 parties share the 128 national Assembly seats. Relations with Israel have deteriorated in the last two years. There have been occasional outbreaks of fighting between Hezbollah guerrillas based in the south of the country and Israeli forces. In September 2002 the two governments became immersed in a serious argument about the allocation of water resources, one of the most sensitive issues in the region. Urgent US mediation has calmed the situation for the time being.

Extractions: Lebanon is the historical home of the Phoenicians, Semitic traders whose maritime culture flourished there for more than 2,000 years (c. 2700-450 B.C.). In later centuries, Lebanon's mountains were a refuge for Christians, and Crusaders established several strongholds there. Following the collapse of the Ottoman Empire after World War I, the five Ottoman provinces that had comprised present-day Lebanon were mandated to France by the League of Nations. The country gained independence in 1943, and French troops were withdrawn in 1946. Choose the time frame you would like to learn more about: Phoenician Beginnings

http://www.lebanonmethodist.org/history.htm

Extractions: The cornerstone of the First United Church of Lebanon, 603 West St Louis St., Lebanon, Il, bears the above inscription. Construction of the first building at this location was begun in 1867, and the church was dedicated in 1872. Methodism in Lebanon, however, pre-dates 1868 by at least 45 years. According to the McKendree College Centennial History, 1828, which quotes an old quarterly conference record, a Methodist preaching place was established in Lebanon in 1823. In 1852 the Methodists built their first building in Lebanon, a brick structure costing $7,500. A fire in Dec. 1860 left the congregation again without a home of its own, and meetings were held for the most part in McKendree's new chapel until 1867. A new building was opened in 1868 on our present location. Membership at that time was about 200. This tall-spired church building also burned on Sunday morning, April 3, 1898. Plans were made immediately for a new building which was quickly constructed at a cost of $10,000 and was dedicated, debt free, on Sunday, Dec. 4, 1898. The Methodist congregation in Lebanon continues to worship in a building that is now over 100 years old. The perseverance and faith of our forefathers has made this church a "Family of God" looking forward to an everlasting presence in our city of Lebanon.

Extractions: T he first written artifacts from the ancient Lebanon tell us about the first known occupants of the land, Phoenicians. As long as 5000 years ago, people known also as Canaanites of the Bible were living here. Ancient Greeks called them Phoenicians. They were living in cities like Byblos, Sidon and Tyre and involving with commercial and maritime activities. These three cities were among the most important port-cities of the ancient times. Tyre was considered to be the most important of the Phoenician city-states. The ancient people of the city built a business empire nearly 3000 years ago. They founded Carthage in the 9th century B.C. and reached the Straits of Gibraltar. They colonized part of Cyprus, Rhodes and the Aegean Islands. They founded Tashish, a great commercial colony, on the coast of Spain. After reaching most remote parts of the Mediterranean region, they sailed around Africa. Starting from the Gulf of Aqaba they returned to Egypt. E gyptian domination of the Phoenician cities started in about 1500 B.C. and continued for many centuries. Only there was a period during which the Hittites, an Indo-European civilization from Anatolia, dominated the areas covering Syria and Lebanon. After a short period the Egyptians took over the control of Lebanon again. A s the Egyptian domination ceased to exist, Phoenicia enjoyed a period of independence. This was interrupted by the Assryians. This Assryian domination was very brutal. The relative prosperity came back only after the Persian king Cyrus' conquering of Phoenicia in 538 B.C. The Phoenician fleet became a major weapon in the hands of Persian kings to conquer the rest of the Mediterranean region during the following centuries.
