King Crane Commission. Look into it.

Wow, this far in and I’m only now getting the first Phœnicia name drop? What’s up with that?

Also interesting that “the Greater Lebanon” only lasted six years.

I must do more research on Henri Gouraud. I bet there’s more historical intersections that could help me out in his history.

So far chapter 1 has been all about the League of Nations and chapter 2 has been broad wide scope history on the Ottoman Empire’s relationship with France pre-WWI. It’s all a little too broad for me. What I’m really wanting to find out is what life was like for someone in the part of French Occupied Assyria in the 1930s. Get specific!
