02The Syrian revolt (1925)

Its causes and course

  • Colonial policy led to revolt in the Levant in 1925, which broke out from Jabal al-Duruz (the Druze mountain) under Sultan Pasha al-Atrash.
  • France regained control of the country only by using its armed forces brutally against the strongholds of the rebels.

Its result

  • The revolt convinced the French authority to modify its policy, and the two sides agreed on a constituent assembly which proclaimed the Syrian Republic.
  • But the Syrian national movement stood on opposite sides with the French, as was the case in Egypt: the Syrians insisted on an independent, constitutional, parliamentary Syrian state, while the French insisted on keeping the upper hand in directing the country.
