The League of Nations gave France a mandate to the Levant states of Syria and Lebanon in 1920. In 1930, following a series of uprisings, France recognised Syria as an independent republic, but still subject to the mandate.
Lebanon became fully independent on November 22nd, 1943 and Syria on January 1st, 1944.
