History
In ancient times , Syria, along with Lebanon and Palestine, belonged to the catchment area of various high cultures. Many long-distance trade routes converged in the country. Wealthy cities emerged. They remained economically important even after the conquest by Alexander the Great (333 BC) and in the Roman Empire (from 46 BC). In the Byzantine Empire , Syria was a center of early Christianity.
In the 7th century, Muslim Arabs conquered the country. Syria became the center of the first Caliph Empire (Caliph), its capital was Damascus. From the 11th to the 13th centuries, Islamic rulers fought against Christian crusaders (crusades). The most famous was Saladin , 1175–93 Sultan of Egypt and Syria.
From 1517 Syria belonged to the Ottoman Empire (Turkey) for 400 years. During and after World War I, Great Britain and France divided the Middle East among themselves. The area of today’s Syria was administered by France on behalf of the League of Nations from 1920. From the 1920s onwards, nationalist Arabs rose up against European rule. In 1946 Syria became an independent state.
Syria formed the United Arab Republic with Egypt in 1958–61. On the side of Egypt, Syria took part in wars against Israel in 1948, 1967 and 1973 (Middle East conflict). The Syrian Golan Heights were occupied by Israel. Hafiz al-Assad (* 1930, † 2000) came to power in a military coup in 1970. He ruled Syria dictatorially and was allied with the Soviet Union. After his death, his son Bashar al-Assad (* 1965) became president. As in other countries in the Middle East, in 2011 the Arab Spring called for more rule of law and democracy in Syria. From this the Syrian civil war developed in which foreign states also interfered. The war continues.
