Modern Lebanon
During the 19th century
France intervened on behalf of the Christian community in Lebanon. Warfare between the
Marionites & Druze led to the massacre of many Christians. Through the efforts of France the
Ottoman Empire granted
the Marionites some local autonomy. All of Lebanon received
independence in 1944.
In this United Nations photograph, FAO work with Lebanese
government to restore their forests.
