Since 1940’s, there was a conflict between Christians and Muslims and that caused both sides a lot of sacrifices and the country itself suffered the most. In the end, Syria had to send an army to try and stop both sides and it ended with blood shed and the division of the country.

In 1980’s , Israel invaded Beirut to try and remove the Palestinian so they won’t unite and organize in Lebanon, and many people died because of that till almost 7 years later which they had a peace deal.
