Colonel Niger's French Campaign Against Lebanon in 1920

Abstract

Over its long history, Lebanon has experienced a wide range of events that have profoundly influenced its cultural and religious landscape. During the French occupation in the 1920s, several of these events took place, most notably Colonel Niger's 1920 French campaign in Lebanon. Which exposed southern Lebanon's countries and cities particularly Shiite cities to severe destruction at the hands of French forces; which tracked the French campaign's research stages from the beginning until the leaders of the Lebanese cities that resisted the occupation signed the surrender document by force; and which also indicated the research to support certain Christians to the French forces, who sought to distinguish between the sons of the same homeland in order to impose control over the entire Lebanese population in question
