Where is Syria and where is
it ?
This
has always been a question in history, and it remains unresolved today.
Historically, Syria was a geographical term which included not only the
Syrian Arab Republic of today, but also Lebanon, Jordan and Israel
and when the Turks lost the First World War, the Arab Kingdom of Greater
Syria was declared over these four lands by Emir Faisal of the Hashemites,
leader of the Arab Revolt (who had earlier co-operated with T.E.Lawrence
of the Seven Pillars of Wisdom or Lawrence of Arabia fame). But the dreams
of an united Syria was dashed when the French and British split Syria between
them -Syria and Lebanon to the French, and Palestine and Transjordan to
the British. The French turned the enlarged Mount Lebanon Province into
the Lebanese Republic, and the British compensated the Hashemite family
by making Abdullah ruler of Transjordan (which eventually became the Hashemite
Kingdom of Jordan). The Jews of Europe later declared the State of Israel
in 1948. The dismantling of Syria has never been accepted by many Syrians
who still regarded the current boundaries as mere temporary.
