The following
outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to Lebanon:
Lebanon –
sovereign country located along the eastern edge of the
Mediterranean Sea in
Southwest Asia and the
Middle East .
[1] Lebanon, due to its tense
sectarian diversity, has a unique political system, known as
confessionalism , in which each religious group is allocated a fixed number of seats in parliament.
[2] The country enjoyed a period of relative calm and prosperity before the devastating
Lebanese Civil War from 1975 to 1990.
[3] In 2005, a wave of demonstrations known as the
Cedar Revolution ended the 30-year
Syrian occupation of Lebanon . By early 2006, a considerable degree of stability had been achieved throughout much of the country and
Beirut 's reconstruction was almost complete,
[4] but a debilitating
2006 war and
internal strife caused significant economic damage and loss of life. Since 2019, Lebanon has faced a
serious financial and economic crisis as well as political instability and social unrest, exacerbated by the
2020 Beirut explosion .
