The wide belt of land stretching from Mesopotamia to Egypt is known as the Fertile Crescent. This region is characterized by its rich soils and favorable climate, making it one of the cradles of civilization where agriculture and early human settlements flourished. It includes parts of modern-day Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Israel, Palestine, and Egypt. The Fertile Crescent played a crucial role in the development of early societies and cultures.
The Phoenicians were an ancient Semitic civilization originating from the coastal regions of modern-day Lebanon, Syria, and northern Israel, thriving from around 1500 to 300 BCE. They were renowned for their maritime trade, skilled shipbuilding, and the development of the first alphabetic writing system, which greatly influenced later languages. The Phoenicians established a network of city-states, such as Tyre, Sidon, and Byblos, and played a crucial role in the spread of culture and commerce throughout the Mediterranean. Their legacy includes advancements in trade, navigation, and the introduction of purple dye, which became a symbol of wealth and power.
Syria has historically aligned with the Arab States against Israel. Syria has had an extensive role in the Arab-Israeli Conflict, always supporting its fellow Arab allies in wars. The first war in the Arab-Israeli Conflict that Syria committed to was the Arab-Israeli War of 1948-9 where it signed an armistice and held on to five square kilometers of the former Mandate of Palestine on the southeast coast of the Sea of Galilee. During this period, many Palestinian Refugees came to Syria where they were shuttered in Refugee Camps. Most still remain in there to this day. Between 1949 and 1967, the Syrians and Israelis were in a de jure state of non-combat, but periodically, the Syrians would rain rockets down on Israeli villages in the Eastern Galilee region of Israel. Israel was incapable of properly responding as Syria held the high ground. Syria did not participate in the Arab-Israeli War of 1956 in which the Egyptian Sinai Peninsula was invaded. In 1967, Syria joined the Six Day War on the third day making some small gains in the Eastern Galilee. However, Israeli troops quickly reversed these gains and captured the Golan Heights, the Syrian territory bordering the Eastern Galilee Region of Israel. Syria signed UN Resolution 242 ending the skirmish, but determined with other Arab Nations not to give in to negotiating with Israel. Additional Palestinian Refugees came to Syria in this period as well as Syrian Nationals fleeing from the Israeli Army. In the late '60s and early '70s, Syria coordinated defense with Egypt and the two jointly launched a surprise attack on Israel in 1973. While the two allies made impressive gains in the first week of the war, Israel appeared to be winning towards the end of the month and Israeli tanks were advancing to Damascus when the ceasefire was called and the antebellum situation restored. The next confrontation between Syrian and Israeli forces would come by way of the Lebanese Civil War. The Syrians buttressed the Shiite Militant Factions and Hezbollah while the Israelis fought alongside the Maronite Christian Falangists. When it seemed the war was resolving in Syria's favor, Israeli forces withdrew to the Litani River and Syria occupied Lebanon until 2005. Syria and Israel have had no further direct confrontations, but Syria continues to provide much of the funding for Hezbollah, which did enter a confrontation with Israel in 2006 in Lebanon again. Syria has continued to refuse to make peace with the nation that still holds the Golan Heights, and that opposes the Palestinian independent State without a guarantee of its own security.

The region known as the Fertile Crescent, which includes parts of modern-day Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Israel, and Jordan, is known for its fertile valleys due to its access to water sources such as rivers like the Tigris and Euphrates. These valleys supported early agricultural civilizations and played a significant role in the development of human civilization.
The first Christian church was built in Syria because Christianity began to spread in that region after the arrival of the apostle Paul and other early Christian missionaries. Syria was a hub of diverse cultures and trade routes, making it an ideal location for the dissemination of the new faith. The city of Antioch in particular played a significant role in the growth of early Christianity.

The conflict in Iraq and Syria is a complex mix of both religious and political factors. Religious differences and sectarian tensions have played a significant role, particularly between Sunni and Shia Muslims. However, there are also political dynamics at play, including struggles for power, control of resources, and regional influence.

Religion is an important "ethnic" identifier in Lebanon. As a result, people joined with other members of their religious group to oppose political control of other groups. The fragile balance between the Maronite Christians, Sunni Arabs, and Shiite Arabs was in a precarious position and the arrival of the PLO (Palestinian Liberation Organization) in Lebanon threatened to tip the scales. As a result, each faction took to battle in order to increase their stake in the country's leadership. This conflict eventually spilled over into Israel and Syria, leading to those countries ending the War.
Well, imperialism played a role. but the economy played a role.
