Best Answer

The answer you are looking for is "France", but that is technically incorrect. Lebanon was a part of the Wilayet/Province of Beirut in the Ottoman Empire until it became a French Mandate in 1919. As opposed to a colony, the intent of forming a mandate was to "help a territory develop to the point where it would be capable of self-governance" whereas a colony was supposed to be occupied perpetually. Understandably, the Lebanese and the French disagreed about when Lebanon would be ready for French withdrawal.
