Many say war isn't the answer but when you fight for independence it's all you

can think about.

Lebanon fought for their independence and won. Lebanon is free and to the war is over.

This may come as a shock but there was no actual war between France and Lebanon.

Lebanon though they fought hard for their independence, they never actually went to war. A

national pact was signed that gave Lebanon their independence also stating that Lebanon was

now considered an Arab country. It also stated that Lebanon should be treated as any other Arab

country. Lebanon should be able to help solve any conflicts just like every other country.

In 1943 Lebanon's constitutionally elected leaders were released from detention by

French occupation forces after their commanders backed down and accepted the independence of

Lebanon. Hence 22 November came to be Independence Day. After the independence, the

modern Lebanese political system was founded in 1943 by an unwritten agreement between the

two most prominent Christian and Muslim leaders, Khouri and al-Solh and which was later

called the National Pact. In 1945, Lebanon became a member of the Arab League (March 22)

and a founding member of the United Nations (UN San Francisco Conference of 1945). On

December 31, 1946, French troops withdrew completely from Lebanon.

Lebanon is now independent to this day and hasn't had any major conflicts. Lebanon is

now a thriving and wonderful country. Lebanon will not have to worry about not being free ever

again.
