Thehistory of Syriacovers the developments in the region ofSyria(Greek:Συρία) and modernSyrian Arab Republic. Syria most likelyderivesfrom the name of theNeo-Assyrian Empireestablished in the 10th century BC. Modern Syria became independent in 1946 following a period of French occupation (1917–20) and Mandate (1920-1946). In 1958, the Republic of Syria became briefly part of theUnited Arab Republicbut in 1961 withdrew from the federation. From 1963, theSyrian Arab Republichas been ruled by theBa\'athwith the Assad family exclusively from 1970. Currently Syria is fractured between rival forces on the course of theSyrian Civil War.

When first arriving in Lebanon, the French were received as liberators by the Christian community, but as they were entering Syria, they were faced with a strong resistance.[citation needed]

The mandate region was subdivided into six states. They were the states Druze(1921), the autonomousSanjak of Alexandretta(1921, modern-dayHatay), and theState of Greater Lebanon(1920), which became later the modern country ofLebanon.

The drawing of those states was based in part on the sectarian makeup on the ground in Syria. However, nearly all the Syrian sects were hostile to the French mandate and to the division it created. This was best demonstrated by the numerous revolts that the French encountered in all of the Syrian states. Maronite Christians of Mount Lebanon, on the other hand, were a community with a dream of independence that was being realized under the French; therefore, Greater Lebanon was the exception to the newly formed states.[citation needed]

It took France three years from 1920 to 1923 to gain full control over Syria and to quell all the insurgencies that broke out, notably in theAlawiteterritories,Mount DruzeandAleppo.

Although there were uprisings in the respective states, the French purposefully gave different ethnic and religious groups in theLevanttheir own lands in the hopes of prolonging their rule. The French hoped to focus on fragmenting the various groups in the region, so that the local population would not focus on a larger nationalist movement to dispose of colonial rule. To add to this, the administration of colonial governments was heavily dominated by the French. Local authorities were given very little power and did not have the authority to independently decide policy. The small amount of power that local leaders had could easily be over-ruled by French officials. The French did everything in their power to prevent people in the Levant from developing self-sufficient governing bodies. In 1930, France extended their constitution on to Syria.[17]
