I clarified that the end of the "Mutassarefia" of Mt Lebanon came in 1920, when Lebanon acquired its modern borders. In 1943 it gained independence from France.
I also removed the blurb about a secessionist movement among Lebanese christians. This is definitely not a mainstream movement, and the statement lacked context and smacked of advocacy. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Tony Makhlouf (talk • contribs) 19:54, May 3, 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Genocide
A Lebanese friend recently told me that, during World War I, half the population of Mount Lebanon died in an artificial famine orchestrated by the Young Turk. This is recognized by Lebanon but denied by Turkey. This is apparently intertwined with the same politics associated with the Armenian Genocide, Assyrian Genocide, burning of Smyrna, etc. However, I don't know much about this, and know of few materials on the subject, but it sounds like something important to mention. - Gilgamesh 16:54, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
Well the funny thing is Ottoman empire had virtually no fleet to block the sea ports. It was the brits and French who blocked the food transport from the sea. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.178.49.51 (talk) 03:54, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] House keeping
This article should be split to 2
- Leave this article only refering to the "Mount Lebanon" as a mountain range
- Create a new section "Mount Lebanon Province" and move the part which talks about the "Mount Lebanon" as political entity there. BlingBling10 21:46, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
I'm just going to go out on a limb here and note the bias in this article. In the mentioning of the 'phoenician christian' (whatever that means - good ol' nationalism and invented identities) it neglects to mention any christian reprisals. At any rate perhaps this article isn't the place for all that. That should be in the history of Lebanon section as Lebanon as Lebanon begins then. This article should just be for geographic purposes.
