Some of Lebanon's history


LEBANON

Lebanon is one of the oldest countries in the world and also one of its famous ones. Beirut the capital of Lebanon or as its called Paris of the east is one of the most beautiful cities in the world with its beautiful view at the sea and its wonderful high class restaurants. Lebanon is also known as the mother of some famous people like Shakira which is half Lebanese and Keanu Revees who was born in it. Lebanon is surrounded by some well known countries like Turkey, Syria and Jordan.

In the past there used to be a lot of problems between Muslims and Christians and the main reason for that was because the Christians held the balance of power and the Muslims had little say in the running of their country. In the end the problem was solved by balancing the power between the two. But still they had to unite to face a bigger danger which is Israel that invaded Lebanon with their target to remove the Palestinian Liberation Organization but in the end a peace deal was reached in 1989. Even with the peace deal reached a lot of lives were the cost. In Lebanon’s history the humanity lost between 150.000-200.000 person, 300.000 were wounded and almost a quarter of the population left the country.

But still Lebanon now is way deferent than before you can now see the happiness in the peoples eyes I wont say that all the problems were solved but I can assure you people that Muslims and Christians are now living along easier and more understandable for their own believes and the others believes.
