The Syrian Influence

Paper Summary:

This paper argues that the Syrian influence on Lebanon after occupation was positive in nature because it involved two countries that had been bonded throughout history. It also looks at how it was further positive because of the national sacrifices that Syria made for Lebanon throughout the period of war.

From the Paper:

"The Syrian influence in Lebanon spanned throughout history, with both countries sharing borders in the Arab world. The ties between the two countries are well documented by researchers, and demonstrate that Syria and Lebanon will always be connected through their past, the Arab nations, and through the people who risked their lives to defend Lebanon. In the past thirty years there has been much suggested regarding Syria's influence in Lebanon. There are those that contend that Syria may well have been the cause of civil wars that lasted as long as they did. Yet, there are also those who believe that Syria had such a profound, positive affect on the lives of Syrians that all of the battles undertaken were waged with a sense of protecting Lebanon, and in ensuring that the Arab nation was free from forced change.
