How did religious diversity affect that nation after it won its independence from France?
Religious diversity was/is both a blessing and a CURSE. After the French left, the Lebanese adopted a confessionalist democracy where the president is Christian, the prime minister is Sunni and the speaker is Shia. More than half of the representative MPs were Christian (because Lebanon was made for the Christians of the Middle East) - for every 6 Christian MPS there were 5 Muslims. However, Muslims had higher birth rates than the Christians and so their numbers increased, and they wanted more power. Also, the Shia in the south were very sympethetic to Palestinians and wanted to turn Lebanon (which was a comparatively rich country) into a warzone with Israel. In this way, religious diversity became religious factionalism and caused the 15-year-long civil war between 1975 and 1990. Lebanon continues to experience conflicts between rival groups, and border attacks have made it a target for Israeli retaliation.
