ABOUT LEBANON
HISTORICAL NOTES From 1516 to 1918, Lebanon was under the administrative rule and political sovereignty of the Ottoman Empire. In 1920, the territory defined by the present-day boundaries became a state called “Grand –Liban” (Great Lebanon) by decree of General Gouraud, head of the French troops in the Levant. The state remained under the French Mandate until November 26, 1941. A constitution was adopted on May 25, 1926, establishing a democratic republic with a parliamentary system of government.
