More about Lebanon
Lebanon borders Syria to the north, east and southeast and Israel to the south. Lebanon is divided into four coast-parallel landscapes in a clear sequence from west to east: in the narrow coastal strip, the Lebanon Mountains (in Qurnat as-Sawda 3 088 m above sea level), the Beka (the deep floe of the Syrian Rift between the Lebanon Mountains and Antilebanon) and anti-Lebanon.
The coastal fringe, only a few kilometers wide, with irrigated intensive crops is the core area of the country. The west side of the Lebanon Mountains receives enough winter rain and is intensively built on. In contrast, the higher, karstified mountain ridges and plateaus are mostly poor pasture areas. To the east, the Lebanon Mountains drop steeply to the tectonic rift of the Beka (Beka plain), which runs through the whole country from south to north; here the precipitation is only sufficient for rain-fed agriculture in the southern part. In the north, the alluvial soils only bring rich harvests in the area of the irrigation oases, which run along the foot of the mountain on both sides. To the east of the Beka follow the very dry, largely bare mountain ranges of Antilebanon and Hermon, on the main ridge of which the border to Syria runs. Settlement and agricultural use are largely limited to mountain oases.
Independent Lebanon
As an independent state, Lebanon joined the UN in 1945 and took part in the founding of the Arab League on March 22nd. Due to bloody unrest (May and June 1945) in protest against the increased stationing of French troops, France and Great Britain withdrew their military units from Lebanon from December 1945.
The location of Lebanon at the intersection of Christian and Islamic traditions determined the political development of this country. Based on the Christian (especially Maronite) part of the population, the presidents C. N. Chamoun (1952-58), Fouad Chehab (* 1902, † 1973; 1958-64) and Charles Hélou (* 1912, † 2001; 1964-70) pursued a pro-Western line and took a more neutral stance in the Middle East conflict between Israel and the Arab states. The Muslim part of the population, in the government of Land v. a. represented in the person of the Prime Minister (including R. Karame), sought more support from the Arab states and developed pan-Arab ideas; he more or less shared the opposition of the Arab world to Israel. Domestically, tensions were heightened by the Palestinian Arabs living in camps as refugees who, after the establishment of the State of Israel, inter alia. also fled to Lebanon. The religious-political potential for conflict erupted for the first time in 1958 before the presidential elections in a civil war in which pan-Arab Muslim forces around Karame and Christian-national groups around President Chamoun and Pierre Gemayel (* 1905, † 1984; chairman of the Phalange) faced each other. At the request of President ChamounAmerican troops landed in Beirut to secure the government. With the election of the Christian-Maronite politician Chehab as president and the appointment of the previous opposition politician Karame as prime minister, internal peace was restored in Lebanon. Until the 1980s, Karame, who resigned as Prime Minister in 1960, was repeatedly appointed to head the government, especially in critical situations.
Guerrilla actions by the Palestinians (fedayeen) from Lebanon against Israel led to Israeli counter-attacks. After the destruction of Lebanese civil aircraft at Beirut airport (early January 1969) by the Israeli air force, Karame was again prime minister in 1969. He put an end to his country’s reluctance to foreign policy in the Middle East conflict and placed it more firmly on the Arab front against Israel. The Lebanese-Palestinian Agreement of Cairo (November 1969) defined the rights of the Palestinian guerrilla fighters in Lebanon (extraterritorial status).
Under President Suleiman Frangié (* 1910, † 1992; 1970–76) the gap between opponents and supporters of Palestinian guerrilla actions from Lebanon against Israel widened. The criticism of the prevailing denominational system of proportional representation, which v. a. was practiced by the Muslim and secular-socialist side, heightened the internal contradictions; was demanded by v. a. a shift in domestic power structures in favor of the Muslim part of the population.
