Following the end of the Mandate System, France lost control of both Lebanon and Syria.

This marked the conclusion of French colonial influence in the region.

Yes, Syria was a French mandate territory from 1920 until its independence in 1946. However, it was not considered a colony in the traditional sense, but rather a mandate established by the League of Nations after World War I.
The Golan Heights were a part of Syria from the Ottoman Period and were part of Syria during the French Mandate. It was only in 1967 that Israel conquered the Golan Heights from Syria.
French is spoken in Syria because the country was under French mandate from 1923 to 1946. This historical influence has led to a legacy of French language education and its continued use in diplomatic and academic settings.
Syria became a nation after the fall of the Ottoman Empire in World War I, when it came under French mandate. It gained independence in 1946.
