Beschreibung:

The Druze are granted autonomy in the region of Jabalu d-Duruz, from the League of Nations (early 1920s). Druze flags can be seen as well as signs saying " long live the independance" in both French and Arabic. In 1923 Captain Carbillet, the French, but Druze-elected, governor of Jabal ad-Duruz, introduced modern administrative and social reforms that antagonized the population. This eventually resulted in a full-fledged rebellion, led by Sultan al-Atrash, the Druze defeated the French in August and by September were joined by Syrian nationalists. The French later bombed damascus killing 5,000 people.
