Was Syria with or against Hitler?

Syria was a French Colony when the war began. When France was invaded & defeated by Germany, then Syria came under the control of the Vichy French government which was an ally of Germany (Hitler). The Vichy French in Syria did very little to help Hitler, because they were too distant from where Germany was fighting. The British military in the Middle East defeated the Vichy French forces in Syria early in the war, thereafter Syria was under the control of Britain until the end of the war. Although combat between the British & Hitler's allies (Vichy French) took place in Syria, Syria & its citizens were generally not allied with either side during the war.
