Lebanon


Lebanon is a country in the Middle East and its capital is Beirut. Lebanon was called in the bible" the land of milk and honey ". There are many mountains and beaches and many landscapes that are worth to see their. Lebanon also has borders with many countries like Syria, Jordan, Israel, Turkey and Cyprus.

Many problems started to show after the French left. Christians where majority back then, Muslims where not that strong and that what made the tension between them. In 1975 the tension reached the limit, after a bus full of Palestinians was killed in downtown Beirut. Then the war between both troops started.

Nowadays Lebanon has been destroyed and rebuilt several times. Arabs started to send money to help the recovering after the war that was held after being a tourist country. Hopefully one day thing will return as before.
