Abstract
ABSTRACT This article looks at the postwar period of 1918–1919, specifically focusing on the situation in Lebanon and the Levant following the Allied occupation of Ottoman territories. The aim of the article is to reexamine the situation in the former Ottoman territories that became modern Lebanon, and assess the nationalistic wishes as expressed by their people. To do this, the global and regional political context is established, before homing in on the establishment of the “1919 Inter-Allied Commission on Mandates in Turkey,” more commonly known as the King-Crane Commission. This fact-finding mission provides a uniquely direct understanding of the wishes of the Lebanese people, so its work, as well as the complementary writings of its members, are analyzed contextually to determine what accurate results can be derived. By doing so, the article sheds further light on Lebanese popular will after World War I.
