Description:

The Lebanese Civil War was a multi-sided war rooted in Lebanon’s fragile sectarian balance, demographic conflicts, and the effects of the Cold War. Fighting began between Christian militias and Palestinian insurgents allied with Muslim, leftist, and pan-Arab factions. This attracted foreign powers such as Syria, Israel, Iran, and the U.S., who backed different sides with arms, funding, and military intervention. Shifting alliances and rivalries among Maronite Christians, Sunnis, Shias, Druze, and Palestinian groups produced cycles of massacres, invasions, and occupation, with peacekeeping forces repeatedly deployed. The Taif Agreement (1989) formally ended the war, dissolving militias except Hezbollah, but by then some 150,000 were dead, nearly a million displaced, and Lebanon’s political order permanently reshaped along sectarian lines.
