Lebanese relations did NOT start in the mandate period.

The French have had an interest since Napoleon III in protecting Lebanese Christians. Possibly before that, but Napoleon III put pressure on the (Landed troops too) Ottomans to protect Christians from Druze and others. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.60.129.184 (talk) 17:01, 7 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah that's true and even before Napoleon III, back to the Crusades with the establishment of Crusader kingdoms in this region. This is evident in the northern Lebanese region with families having some French roots like the Douaihy and Frangieh, etc.Alain08 (talk) 18:32, 15 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
