Asmall, largely mountainous country bordered by Syria and Israel, Lebanon has had its share of political and sectarian upheavals.
After World War I, the League of Nations gave France the mandate over Lebanon and Syria, which, before the war, had been a single political entity in the Ottoman Empire. France divided the countries in 1920, separating the predominantly Muslim Syria from the multi-denominational Lebanon, which became an independent state in 1943 after the end of the French mandate.
Unlike the other Middle Eastern nations, Lebanon has always had a vast number of Christians. Their number, however, has been drastically shrinking in the past couple of decades, mainly because of immigration, which gained momentum in the early 1970s when the war in Lebanon broke out, and went on until 1990. In spite of all that Lebanon is the only country in the region where Christians were once dominant and still retain considerable political power
