@@ak--nw8od Yeah bro. You had stuff like Amal Movement, which are allied with the PSP, turn against them, then back as allies. Then you have 3 Lebanese Armed Forces (A Neutral one, LAF. A Pro-Palestinian one, Lebanese Arab Army, and a Pro-Israeli one, South Lebanese Army / Free Lebanese Army). And these 3 Lebanese Armed Forces fought each others, and then fought the country that supported them. This was is a massive clusterfuck.
Well, it wasn't at first during the first phase (1975-1982), it was only when Israel launched a full-scale invasion that the civil war became a massive clusterfuck.
The syrian occupied to my knowledge because the us told them but you know now they are the one who are getting harassed by the Lebanese because of what they did in lebanon
@@youtubecreators185 nobody asked. They entered wihout consent and without permission but they made it seem like the lebanese govrnement asked them to do so so there would be a legal reason to enter. But lets suppose that the lebanese government did ask them to enter, even if its not true, they asked them in 1976. The syrians stayed in lebanon until 2005.... so stop trying to find excuses to this barbarous, murderous and illegal occupation of lebanon. The syrian occupation was illegal and destroyed lebanon put that in your head and stop trying to defend your barbaric syrian regime.

There are a lot of mistakes in the context.. There's nothing really called "Black Sunday". If you're referring to "Black Saturday", that was in December of 1975, well into the war. April 13th, 1975 was when the clashes happened with the PLO bus that was driving around Ain el-Rammaneh and opened fire on the church. Black Saturday was when the 4 students were murdered and chopped up along with the retaliation the ensued. It wasn't clashes between Christian and Muslim militias - It was between Palestinian militias (PLO) who were predominately Muslim and predominately Christian Kateb (which had mostly Muslim members/soldiers in some areas/cities). It was political, not religious at the core. The army didn't favour the Christians and the Muslims didn't defect or join the PLO. The army were given orders not to take action. Half way through the war, it became too tense within the barracks. Soldiers were sleeping holding their gun under their pillow. Until they eventually decided to just leave and take whatever they could with them and return to their villages. Don't forget, the army fought with the Lebanese Forces at some point and is to date why the LF and Aoun don't get along because Aoun was the General at the time. There was never a "government-allied" Christan militia fighting the PLO. The Kateab/LF was a reaction to the inactive of the government/army in not defending its people. People would commit crimes, murder, rape and then go into the refugee camps untouched.
I was not referring to Black Saturday, i was referring to the day the Bus incident happened, which Wikipedia said was called Black Sunday. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bus_massacre It wasn't just clashes between Palestinian militias and the Kateb, the Palestinian militias had allies such as the Lebanese National Movement and the Progressive Socialist Party, and the Kateb had allies such as the Tigers militia and i felt "Muslim militias" and "Christian militias" were good umbrella terms. With that i didn't mean to say it was a religious conflict. You're right that the army didn't favour the Christians and the Muslims didn't defect or join the PLO during the initial intervention. I was wrong in that regard. When the Christian militias fought against against the PLO and the PLO's allies, the Lebanese army occasionally fought the Muslim militias but not against the Christian militias, and the Christian militias operated within government territory, making them de facto allies up until 1990 when the Lebanese National Movement starts helping the Syrians and fighting the government like you mentioned.
@@Koopinator Again you're wrong. Kataeb wasn't a "Christian party". In the North, like in the city of Tripoli, 70% of the Kataeb soldiers were Muslim. So these umbrella terms are wrong and dangerous to use. "Lebanese army occasionally fought the Muslim militias but not against the Christian militias" Are you kidding me? The Lebanese army, under General Aoun, literally went to war with the Chrisitan Lebanese Forces (the main militia) for the longest time. "the Christian militias operated within government territory, making them de facto allies" The entire country was government territory. What the fuck are you talking about? Militias operated all over the country. There's also no such thing as "defacto allies" You clearly know nothing about this and it's extremely irresponsible of you to spew this shit and try to teach false history.
You know, i had researched this video for a few months. I read all Wikipedia pages on it and a UN document, and several old news sources. I even made a Wikipedia article based on the news sources. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Sidon_(1991) I thought that i had it all figured out, but i made the wrong generalizations and had the wrong ideas.
@@Koopinator dont feel bad bro u did an amazing job and most of ur information was indeed right. At least someone thought of doing a video about the lebanese civil war most of the world just forgot about it so I really thank u for that❤🇱🇧
There was no such thing as "government allied militias." The Christian militias were a response to the inaction of the state. They also fought the state in the late 80s.
@@itzelvenmage7434 70% of the Kataeb forces in Tripoli were Muslim and many Maronites defected to the PLO, this was a political war not a religious one
@@itzelvenmage7434 This war was full of sectarian infighting. In 1978, some Christians under the Marada Movement refused to break the alliance most of the Christians (Lebanese Front) had with Syria from 1976-1978 and continued to fight alongside Assad's forces and against the other Christians. In addition, the Lebanese Forces was originally several competing militias (Tigers, Kateeb) which were violently merged together in 1980 when the leadership of the Tigers Militia was violently purged and the soldiers absorbed to form the Lebanese Forces. The PLO would also fight against the pro-Syrian PNSF, another Palestinian faction who would ultimately win when the last PLO forces were expelled from Sidon in 1991. Shiite infighitng also became a thing later in the war, when Hezbollah (who was backed by Iran) and Amal (backed by Syria) fought against one another. The Israeli-aligned South Lebanon Army also had many Shiites and Druze who fought against their compatriots in the war that lasted from 1982-2000 and was not just a Maronite army.

The current President of Lebanon, Michal Aoun, was a commander who was stationed in Beirut during the later stages of the conflict. He led a revolt against Hafez Al Assad and made considerable efforts to end the occupation of the country. It ended when the Syrian government crushed his forces and killed many of his supporters. He fled to Paris and couldn't return until 2005.
It should be noted that Aoun, unlike US allies in Lebanon, sought to rebuid the connections and relations with Syria, and he created an alliance with Hezbullab, however nowadays some of his opponents in the civil war ironically accuse him of being installed by Assad and Hezbollah.

I know it’s a joke and all, but PLO and the remaining Palestine state were different, not one in the same. They even had conflicts with each other for decades, until PNA was established. The PLO were savages, it wouldn’t be right to apply that to the remaining Palestine state and it’s people.
Shreyan Datta Gupta absolutely, decades after that, how the PNA handled “democracy” in the West Bank and gaza, is absolutely disgusting. even referring to it as “the most superior democracy in the Middle East,” once. They practically tortured and murderd dozens journalists, and protesters, at their hight of their reign. It was a ticking time bomb and the assassination of Yitzhak Rabin only accelerated it by a few years. The failure of the Oslo accord, still hits hard the average Palestinian, being a refuge in limbo on their own land, and all.

If bachir gemayel was still alive, all of that would have never happened... israel would have gone back home because they wouldn't have any palestinians to fear of, syria would have abandonned their dream of annexing lebanon and pulled back to their little desert and the palestinian refugees would have found another country to occupy and destroy. In only 21 days, bachir unified all the lebanese people under one flag, under one nationalism, under one army and under one strong government. He thaught us to love our country and to say no to any foreign occupier even if it is our arab "brothers". He was the only person with enough balls to stand against the palestinian occupation while everybody was supporting them because of their "victim cards". He was the only smart smart person to understand that our "syrian brothers" weren't here to help us but rather to destroy us. He was the only person to understand that a temporary alliance with israel was necessary to save lebanon from becomming a part of syria or the new palestine. Everything he said back in the day is still true to that day. If you truly love lebanon and only lebanon, you should love bachir. It is really sad that some lebanese hate him without really knowing him or knowing everything he did for lebanon at such a young age (34). Most people hate him because of his alliance with israel without knowing the context and the reason of this alliance and automatically assume that he is a traitor. I say to these people to go cultivate themselves and learn who bachir gemayel really was before talking about him. And also, do u consider israel our enemy and syria our friend? As bas as israel destroyed lebanon, syria destroyed it 10 times more and this is a fact that not a lot of lebanese muslims want to believe. So I think that the real traitor is the lebanese that supports the actions of the syrian regime in lebanon and not the person that tried to save it from it. I personnaly think that if bachir lived only 3 months more, lebanon would still be the best country in the world. Unfortunetly, it is sad to see that not a lot of people know about bachir and most people that heard about him have a bad view of him. Till this day, the lebanon that bachir has dreamed of is still not their and I don't think it will be their soon. Until this day, we can only remember the great lessons that this great man thaught us that we are still using to get past this dark period of time. You made us proud to be lebanese sheikh bachir. We will never forget you! Until we meet again!! #bachir7ayfina #10452 ❤❤🇱🇧🇱🇧🌹🌹

Correction : at 6:58 there is nothing called “second damascus agreement “ lol I’m Lebanese and its the first time i hear about it . Its only called taif agreement thats it . Even i never heart of the “first” damascus agreement
The Second Damascus Agreement is more obscure than the Taif agreement, but it definitely existed. According to "Ending Civil War: Rhodesia and Lebanon in perspective", page 42,"On 13 October Syria launched an air and ground assault, and by day’s end Aoun had sought asylum in the French embassy in Beirut. Aoun’s defeat represented a critical point in the end of the Lebanese civil war. It was quickly followed by a formal agreement between Amal and Hizballah to cease their hostilities. Brokered by Syria and Iran and signed on 5 November 1990, the so-called Second Damascus agreement restated many of the provisions of its predecessor of January 1989. It therefore enshrined Hizballah’s right to carry out offensive operations against Israel and her allies, but circumscribed their freedom of manoeuvre by committing the Party of God to planning its moves in conjunction with other parties through a ‘co-ordination committee’, and to refrain from attacking positions or troops of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL)."
I'm glad I finally checked out a video on this since I've come into contact with so many Lebanese. Fun fact: Peoria, Illinois has a huge Lebanese-American community, all Maronite Christians. Not all came during this conflict, actually most of them migrated to the US during the 1800s. Even the congressman from the area is Lebanese-American, I worked for him once. I learned that "Lebanese" is as much an umbrella term as "American" is; there are a ton of ethnicities living there, more than most Arab countries. I think the Muslims there all want to use the 'Arab' label, while Christians and other groups prefer more specific labels. What exactly was the PLO doing in Lebanon though? Talk about being a horrible guest in someone else's country when you start a civil war against the government sheltering you!
The PLO moved into Lebanon after they were expelled in 1970 from Jordan in what is called: Black September. The different PLO guerilla groups recruited, and used the refugee camps as their quasi bases for attacks against Israel. Southern Lebanon came to be a state within a state - The PLO/Fatah state.
Cairo agreement didn't give Palestinian states in Lebanon at all Oh just one more thing there were many mistake like the Summer of 1984 was so dramatic in lebanon mountain and

Otterstone Gamer protecting the Palestine people. Israel is a terrorist organisation. How about how Israel commited genocide against Palestine and illegally took Palestine’s land.
Summary: there were many involved, but there were two main sides - Israel, Multinational Forces and the Lebanese Front, supported by NATO, and haved Syria and the Lebanese National Movement, supported by the USSR and socialist countries.

Riot yes but you also forgot to mention that your government is fighting on behalf of terrorists and has been funding terrorists in Syria since 2011. My problem isn’t with Turkish people, it’s with the Turkish government.
This vid leaves out the fact that Syria and Amal fought against Hezbollah (and the PLO) in the war of the camps in 1982. Hezbollah and Syria have good relations now but that wasn't always the case.
They began having good relations with each other after the civil war in Syria broke out. Before that there were bad bloods between them. When Emad Moghnie got assassinated some of Hezbollah seniors even accused elements within Syrian government.

Mohannad yes it is, just like lebanon is. Being arab is not just an ethnicity, it’s an identity. You can be of caucasian ethnicity (for example) but still be arab. Also why does it seem to me that people are ashamed of their identities. Arabs are known for their generosity and their moral values: family for example is sacred and friendships are valued. Yes, we do have our flaws and yes, what’s happening in the middle east today is an all time low in our history but identity, culture and hope are still present. I’m not saying we don’t have cultural differences, we definitely do. But we’re still arabs. Just like europeans are europeans; and they don’t even speak the same language!!

There is lot of mistakes and inaccuracy in this video; first, the treaty of Cairo wasn't as silly as it's described at the beginning.. It didn't gave the right to a "Fatahland" on borders but more precisely it gave palestinians the right to rule their refugee camps. On the other side, it allowed the christian far-right parties to get arms and create their own militias. Then, the mapping is not so accurate due to the complexity of the situation and the demography in Lebanon, I don't know what were the standards to juge the domination on the map, but for example, in Lebanon you can find two or more parties and religions in one small village, and they may all have their arms and militias inside this village. Same can be applied on entier areas like Chouf department for example. Also, there is nothing about the christian-christian wars between 1984 and 1990, principaly Geagea-Hobeika battles, and for sure, Aoun-Geagea wars that were determinant for the Lebanese Civil War... P.S.: before March 1976, the area of Baabda-Matn was almost controled by the far-right, until the battles of Aintourah and Mtein (end of March 1976). This was also not explained on the map for example.
Great work despite some mistakes The red area were not controlled by the lebanese government, it was the christian militias (kataeb, lebanese forces, ahrar...etc) + u should have added the areas controlled by the socialits militia (mainly duruze) + for example areas south of beirut like damour were under control of the lebanese forces... But i don't blame u it was very complicated no one can sum it up in a mapping video😂
I don't know enough about the situation honestly. Look how many sides there are and how everything flip flops. I don't think anybody is "innocent" in war. Middle East is complicated.
@@userunknown3652 actually I'm not sure it was democratic after I checked again, but they did try to establish an army called the free Lebanon army which established a state called "independent free Lebanon " They established the army because both Israel and them had the same goals: to destroy the PLO
You're right But only from 1989 to 1990 Anyway the term "government is misleading" They should have written "kataeb +allies" Then "lebaneses forces" Then "lebanese forces" and "Aoun's army" Also in the west Beirut part, the terms OLP allies and syrian allies are misleading too. They should put the names : PSP, Amal, Mourabitoun, LCP ... Also the map has many small mistakes

There's nothing really called "Black Sunday". If you're referring to "Black Saturday", that was in December of 1975, well into the war.
April 13th, 1975 was when the clashes happened with the PLO bus that was driving around Ain el-Rammaneh and opened fire on the church. Black Saturday was when the 4 students were murdered and chopped up along with the retaliation the ensued.
It wasn't clashes between Christian and Muslim militias - It was between Palestinian militias (PLO) who were predominately Muslim and predominately Christian Kateb (which had mostly Muslim members/soldiers in some areas/cities). It was political, not religious at the core.
The army didn't favour the Christians and the Muslims didn't defect or join the PLO. The army were given orders not to take action. Half way through the war, it became too tense within the barracks. Soldiers were sleeping holding their gun under their pillow. Until they eventually decided to just leave and take whatever they could with them and return to their villages.
Don't forget, the army fought with the Lebanese Forces at some point and is to date why the LF and Aoun don't get along because Aoun was the General at the time.
There was never a "government-allied" Christan militia fighting the PLO. The Kateab/LF was a reaction to the inactive of the government/army in not defending its people. People would commit crimes, murder, rape and then go into the refugee camps untouched.
I was not referring to Black Saturday, i was referring to the day the Bus incident happened, which Wikipedia said was called Black Sunday. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bus_massacre
It wasn't just clashes between Palestinian militias and the Kateb, the Palestinian militias had allies such as the Lebanese National Movement and the Progressive Socialist Party, and the Kateb had allies such as the Tigers militia and i felt "Muslim militias" and "Christian militias" were good umbrella terms. With that i didn't mean to say it was a religious conflict.
You're right that the army didn't favour the Christians and the Muslims didn't defect or join the PLO during the initial intervention. I was wrong in that regard.
When the Christian militias fought against against the PLO and the PLO's allies, the Lebanese army occasionally fought the Muslim militias but not against the Christian militias, and the Christian militias operated within government territory, making them de facto allies up until 1990 when the Lebanese National Movement starts helping the Syrians and fighting the government like you mentioned.
@@Koopinator Again you're wrong.
Kataeb wasn't a "Christian party". In the North, like in the city of Tripoli, 70% of the Kataeb soldiers were Muslim. So these umbrella terms are wrong and dangerous to use.
"Lebanese army occasionally fought the Muslim militias but not against the Christian militias"
Are you kidding me? The Lebanese army, under General Aoun, literally went to war with the Chrisitan Lebanese Forces (the main militia) for the longest time.
"the Christian militias operated within government territory, making them de facto allies"
The entire country was government territory. What the fuck are you talking about? Militias operated all over the country. There's also no such thing as "defacto allies"
You clearly know nothing about this and it's extremely irresponsible of you to spew this shit and try to teach false history.
@Anthony Kantara you're right. I was spreading false history. I feel terrible, i don't know what to do now.
You know, i had researched this video for a few months. I read all Wikipedia pages on it and a UN document, and several old news sources. I even made a Wikipedia article based on the news sources. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Sidon_(1991) I thought that i had it all figured out, but i made the wrong generalizations and had the wrong ideas.
@@Koopinator dont feel bad bro u did an amazing job and most of ur information was indeed right. At least someone thought of doing a video about the lebanese civil war most of the world just forgot about it so I really thank u for that❤🇱🇧
There was no such thing as "government allied militias." The Christian militias were a response to the inaction of the state. They also fought the state in the late 80s.
Not all Christians or Muslims were on their same side?
@Itz Elvenmage
Nope
I’m not fazed by that
@@itzelvenmage7434 70% of the Kataeb forces in Tripoli were Muslim and many Maronites defected to the PLO, this was a political war not a religious one
@@itzelvenmage7434 This war was full of sectarian infighting.
In 1978, some Christians under the Marada Movement refused to break the alliance most of the Christians (Lebanese Front) had with Syria from 1976-1978 and continued to fight alongside Assad's forces and against the other Christians.
In addition, the Lebanese Forces was originally several competing militias (Tigers, Kateeb) which were violently merged together in 1980 when the leadership of the Tigers Militia was violently purged and the soldiers absorbed to form the Lebanese Forces.
The PLO would also fight against the pro-Syrian PNSF, another Palestinian faction who would ultimately win when the last PLO forces were expelled from Sidon in 1991.
Shiite infighitng also became a thing later in the war, when Hezbollah (who was backed by Iran) and Amal (backed by Syria) fought against one another.
The Israeli-aligned South Lebanon Army also had many Shiites and Druze who fought against their compatriots in the war that lasted from 1982-2000 and was not just a Maronite army.

The current President of Lebanon, Michal Aoun, was a commander who was stationed in Beirut during the later stages of the conflict. He led a revolt against Hafez Al Assad and made considerable efforts to end the occupation of the country. It ended when the Syrian government crushed his forces and killed many of his supporters. He fled to Paris and couldn't return until 2005.
That's why the name sounded familiar!
Assads lot should be hung
@@MarcusBlueWolf As if a furry should judge anything
It should be noted that Aoun, unlike US allies in Lebanon, sought to rebuid the connections and relations with Syria, and he created an alliance with Hezbullab, however nowadays some of his opponents in the civil war ironically accuse him of being installed by Assad and Hezbollah.

If bachir gemayel was still alive, all of that would have never happened... israel would have gone back home because they wouldn't have any palestinians to fear of, syria would have abandonned their dream of annexing lebanon and pulled back to their little desert and the palestinian refugees would have found another country to occupy and destroy. In only 21 days, bachir unified all the lebanese people under one flag, under one nationalism, under one army and under one strong government. He thaught us to love our country and to say no to any foreign occupier even if it is our arab "brothers". He was the only person with enough balls to stand against the palestinian occupation while everybody was supporting them because of their "victim cards". He was the only smart smart person to understand that our "syrian brothers" weren't here to help us but rather to destroy us. He was the only person to understand that a temporary alliance with israel was necessary to save lebanon from becomming a part of syria or the new palestine. Everything he said back in the day is still true to that day. If you truly love lebanon and only lebanon, you should love bachir. It is really sad that some lebanese hate him without really knowing him or knowing everything he did for lebanon at such a young age (34). Most people hate him because of his alliance with israel without knowing the context and the reason of this alliance and automatically assume that he is a traitor. I say to these people to go cultivate themselves and learn who bachir gemayel really was before talking about him. And also, do u consider israel our enemy and syria our friend? As bas as israel destroyed lebanon, syria destroyed it 10 times more and this is a fact that not a lot of lebanese muslims want to believe. So I think that the real traitor is the lebanese that supports the actions of the syrian regime in lebanon and not the person that tried to save it from it. I personnaly think that if bachir lived only 3 months more, lebanon would still be the best country in the world. Unfortunetly, it is sad to see that not a lot of people know about bachir and most people that heard about him have a bad view of him. Till this day, the lebanon that bachir has dreamed of is still not their and I don't think it will be their soon. Until this day, we can only remember the great lessons that this great man thaught us that we are still using to get past this dark period of time. You made us proud to be lebanese sheikh bachir. We will never forget you! Until we meet again!! #bachir7ayfina #10452 ❤❤🇱🇧🇱🇧🌹🌹

Correction : at 6:58 there is nothing called “second damascus agreement “ lol I’m Lebanese and its the first time i hear about it . Its only called taif agreement thats it . Even i never heart of the “first” damascus agreement
The Second Damascus Agreement is more obscure than the Taif agreement, but it definitely existed. According to "Ending Civil War: Rhodesia and Lebanon in perspective", page 42,"On 13 October Syria launched an air and ground assault, and by day’s end Aoun had sought asylum in the French embassy in Beirut. Aoun’s defeat represented a critical point in the end of the Lebanese civil war. It was quickly followed by a formal agreement between Amal and Hizballah to cease their hostilities. Brokered by Syria and Iran and signed on 5 November 1990, the so-called Second Damascus agreement restated many of the provisions of its predecessor of January 1989. It therefore enshrined Hizballah’s right to carry out offensive operations against
Israel and her allies, but circumscribed their freedom of manoeuvre by committing the Party of God to planning its moves in conjunction with other parties through a ‘co-ordination committee’, and to refrain from attacking positions or troops of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL)."

I'm glad I finally checked out a video on this since I've come into contact with so many Lebanese. Fun fact: Peoria, Illinois has a huge Lebanese-American community, all Maronite Christians. Not all came during this conflict, actually most of them migrated to the US during the 1800s. Even the congressman from the area is Lebanese-American, I worked for him once. I learned that "Lebanese" is as much an umbrella term as "American" is; there are a ton of ethnicities living there, more than most Arab countries. I think the Muslims there all want to use the 'Arab' label, while Christians and other groups prefer more specific labels. What exactly was the PLO doing in Lebanon though? Talk about being a horrible guest in someone else's country when you start a civil war against the government sheltering you!
Wath you said was true maronite immigrated in the first civil war of 1860 and the PLO are really bad people they burned babies alive .

Arabs are known for their generosity and their moral values: family for example is sacred and friendships are valued. Yes, we do have our flaws and yes, what’s happening in the middle east today is an all time low in our history but identity, culture and hope are still present. I’m not saying we don’t have cultural differences, we definitely do. But we’re still arabs. Just like europeans are europeans; and they don’t even speak the same language!! Anyways i’m not here to argue i’m just giving my opinion. I hope you have a good day!! :)
@@mohannadkhadhraoui6956 Tunisia is Arab.
@@jadsamad6171 If it's not based on ethnicity then it's their choice not to be called Arab. what's the rule? if a Syrian or Libyan don't speak Arab what does that make them?
This war was basically between the Christian and conservative Lebanese, supported by Israel and Western countries, and Palestinian refugees and leftist Lebanese, supported by Syria and the USSR.
Lebanon: has a civil war
Syria and Israel: Allow is to introduce ourselves
(Israel is worse btw)
they also fought with each other.
Syria actually went to prevent israel from occupying lebanon
Because syria know how sneaky israeli occupation are
Just like they occupied the syrian golan hieghts
Just a Simple Complex Syrian and Israeli occupation in Palestine
@@vorpalspartan1463 yes
But that was unexpected
Uk claimed they will just get some jews and help arab on their revolution
But they were planning the whole thing
When your rebels have rebels that have rebels
When the name changed to "Hezbollah" I knew who was going to win.
I'm currently writing an essay on the Lebanese Civil War and, if you thought this was complicated, it's only a simplified version.
There is lot of mistakes and inaccuracy in this video; first, the treaty of Cairo wasn't as silly as it's described at the beginning.. It didn't gave the right to a "Fatahland" on borders but more precisely it gave palestinians the right to rule their refugee camps. On the other side, it allowed the christian far-right parties to get arms and create their own militias.
Then, the mapping is not so accurate due to the complexity of the situation and the demography in Lebanon, I don't know what were the standards to juge the domination on the map, but for example, in Lebanon you can find two or more parties and religions in one small village, and they may all have their arms and militias inside this village. Same can be applied on entier areas like Chouf department for example.
Also, there is nothing about the christian-christian wars between 1984 and 1990, principaly Geagea-Hobeika battles, and for sure, Aoun-Geagea wars that were determinant for the Lebanese Civil War...
P.S.: before March 1976, the area of Baabda-Matn was almost controled by the far-right, until the battles of Aintourah and Mtein (end of March 1976). This was also not explained on the map for example.
dude, you just made it even more 🤯🤯🤯
Great work despite some mistakes
The red area were not controlled by the lebanese government, it was the christian militias (kataeb, lebanese forces, ahrar...etc) + u should have added the areas controlled by the socialits militia (mainly duruze) + for example areas south of beirut like damour were under control of the lebanese forces... But i don't blame u it was very complicated no one can sum it up in a mapping video😂
Its funny if you see the map Israel mostly helped the lebanese goverment xD
Israel also tried to establish a democratic state their, this vid doesn't show it to great detail which is a shame
I don't know enough about the situation honestly. Look how many sides there are and how everything flip flops. I don't think anybody is "innocent" in war. Middle East is complicated.
@@Bachars They occupied Lebanon, they didnt try to make a democratic state, they didnt care for the people, they cared for water and the land.
@@userunknown3652 actually I'm not sure it was democratic after I checked again, but they did try to establish an army called the free Lebanon army which established a state called "independent free Lebanon "
They established the army because both Israel and them had the same goals: to destroy the PLO
@@userunknown3652 and the second part of your comment is just wrong
I love Lebanon 🇱🇧 because it is my country
U deserve more subs
from the belligerents listed, you can see that its not a civil war.
It began as a civil war but by 1977 had very clearly become a proxy war in the Middle East.
Not true at all... the red colour was divised into many sides espeacially lebanese forces party and lebanese army who were two opponents
You're right
But only from 1989 to 1990
Anyway the term "government is misleading"
They should have written "kataeb +allies"
Then "lebaneses forces"
Then "lebanese forces" and "Aoun's army"
Also in the west Beirut part, the terms OLP allies and syrian allies are misleading too.
They should put the names : PSP, Amal, Mourabitoun, LCP
...
Also the map has many small mistakes
Excellent video!
u see how israel helped lebanon against the palestinians? this shit means hezbolla has no sence
True I'm lebanese they helped us in the south when the Palestinians wanted to burn us and the Christian militia or the government couldn't get to us
And the UN played the role of stupid!
It was a MESS!!!!😯😦😨
My parents lived from the beginning of this war till the end and they still don’t know how to explain me this war. I once asked my history teacher why they don’t teach it to us she said that bc till that day the same sides didn’t agree about the causes of this war
3:01 Did Israel just attack the UN?
Israeli forces nonviolently took over UN-administrated areas.
@@Koopinator nonviolently eh?
@@husseinbazzy8294 Yes non violently...
@@yakov95000 not really
