what do u know about the arabic country lebanon?

Answer 1

Although the national language is Arabic, I doubt if you can call Lebanon "Arabic". It's a typical Levantine country with a mix of Maronite Christians, Druze, Sunni and Alawite Muslims, Greek Orthodox, Melkite Greek Catholics, Roman Catholic Christians, Palestinian refugees, Lebanese Armenians, Assyrians, Jews, and Persians.

Lebanon used to be a peacefull, prosperous country where the pro-western Maronite Christians were in the majority and had most of the political power. But the demographics have been changing after WWII, and Muslims became a majority, but were being kept out of political power. Together with military and political interference from Israel and Syria, this had led to an almost continous civil war since the 1970s.

Answer 2

Per wiki... "Lebanon (Arabic: لبنان Lubnān), officially the Lebanese Republic (Arabic: الجمهورية اللبنانية), is a small, largely mountainous country in the Middle East, located at the eastern edge of the Mediterranean Sea. It is bordered by Syria to the north and east, and Israel to the south. The flag of Lebanon features a cedar in green against a white backdrop, bounded by two horizontal red stripes along the top and bottom. Due to its sectarian diversity, Lebanon follows a special political system, known as confessionalism, meant to distribute power as evenly as possible among different sects.[1]"

Besides that I know that it was one of the largest Christian populations in the middle east, it was very peaceful until the civil war in the 80's and 200+ american marines were killed in a terrorist attack in 1983.

And it has a tree on its flag.

Hope thay helps

in accordance to the recent "Taef" structure followed round 1990, Lebanon IS an Arab u . s .. before that, the previous structure reported that Lebanon "has an arab face" yet did not factor out by any signifies that that's an Arab u . s .. The custom in Lebanon is amazingly different from different Arab international locations, the custom in maximum elements of Lebanon is in route of the Turkish/Greek custom really than the middle jap custom. French is in ordinary words taught at maximum colleges yet isn't spoken contained in the on a daily basis existence, Lebanese use some French words of their on a daily basis chat, yet it really is it. through immigration and distinction in beginning charges, in recent times the country is 70% muslims and 30% christians, compared to a majority of christians contained in the previous. In my personal opinion, i imagine that considering that all and multiple speaks Arabic and that's placed in an Arab area, for this reason that's an Arab u . s . (it really is what the Patriak, head of the Maronite church, says himself) inspite of the indisputable fact that, ARAB might want to no longer be perplexed with Muslim!

Answer 4

If you are looking for ancient history, they were mainly one of these areas that was usually under another empire's sphere of influence (the Mitanni, The Egyptians, The Hittites, Babylonians, the Assyrians, etc.) - you can google any of them to find more info. Hmmm... I wonder if this is where the national mindset of hatred toward outside influence comes from (like with Syria today).
