Lots of countries all over the world have different histories, in order to get to know any place you need to know the past of that place. Also we need to look at the present as well and notice the changes happened during the years. In this essay I will summarize some of the history and the present about Lebanon.

Starting with the history of Lebanon. Lebanon is located between four countries which Turkey, Syria, Jordan, and Palestine. Lots of arguments happened in the past between Muslims and Christians, where Christians had the most power of their country than Muslims had. Additionally, since 1975 the relationship between Christians and Muslims get worse because the Phalange attacked a bus full of Palestinians and killed them in the capital Beirut. Moreover, there was a deal between the Muslims and Christians in 1989 called the “the peace deal” which says that both of Muslims and Christians should have an equal balance of the country. Finally, Lebanon economy wasn’t really performing any better in many years which was the main reason for immigrating, where all most quarter of Lebanon populations left the country.

On the other hand, the present of Lebanon. Lebanon since that time started working hard on her social and economical situations. Since Lebanon is counted as oil industrial country, so Lebanon government used the country location beneficially, where Lebanon has a very good geographical location within the Middle East, as a result the country economy situation has developed dramatically. Furthermore, Lebanon worked on the tourism sector, since Lebanon has very interesting and historical places, which helped the economic to develop also.

Lebanon has developed the country socially and economically rapidly. But although the situation has improved but Lebanon is suffering nowadays lots of problems such as the violet spreading between citizens all over Lebanon.
