Abstract
The communal uprisings of the mid-nineteenth century ended a two-and-half-century career of Lebanon as a feudal princedom. The first World War closed its half-century of autonomous mutasarrifiyah. The second terminated the mandate and ushered in the republic. In none of these periods did the Lebanese change the course of the history of the Near East, but in all they registered a record in its annals of progress that was distinguished if not unique.
