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.
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
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.
