Gelvin, Chair This dissertation explores the transnational dimensions of the Syrian Revolt of 1925-1927. By including the activities of Syrian migrants in Egypt, Europe and the Americas, this study moves away from state-centric histories of the anti-French rebellion. Though they lived far away from the battlefields of Syria and Lebanon, migrants championed, contested, debated, and imagined the rebellion from all corners of the mahjar (or diaspora). Skeptics and supporters organized petition campaigns, solicited financial aid for rebels and civilians alike, and partook in various meetings and conferences abroad. Syrians abroad also clandestinely coordinated with rebel leaders for the transfer of weapons and funds, as well as offered strategic advice based on the political climates in Paris and Geneva. Moreover, key émigré figures played a significant role in defining the revolt, determining its goals, and formulating its program. By situating the revolt in the broader internationalism of the 1920s, this study brings to life the hitherto neglected role migrants played in bridging the local and global, the national and international.

  • The Haifa–Beirut–Tripoli Railway
    APPENDIX 2 THE HAIFA–BEIRUT–TRIPOLI RAILWA Y By A. E. FIEL D Syria does not lend itself easily to railway construction . Very little such work was undertaken between the two world wars. In 1940, however, the possibility of Allied occupation of the Lebanon, and the hope that Turke y would join the Allies, made it very desirable that there should be a direct link between the standard gauge line from the British bases i n Egypt and Palestine then terminating at Haifa, and the northern Syrian system ending at Tripoli . Earlier the French administration had considered the linking of Haifa and Tripoli by a route along the coast, but the project had been shelved for fear that the port of Haifa would benefit at the expense of Beirut. In 1940 and 1941 Middle East Command had surveys made of various routes as far as the Lebanon border . From a map study the first route favoured was from Haifa round the north o f the Sea of Galilee to Rayak where the proposed railway would join th e Homs-Aleppo-Turkey standard gauge line . This was ruled out because it involved very heavy cutting in basalt . The next possibility considered was an extension of the line northwards from Haifa along the coast to th e Litani River and thence inland to Metulla-Rayak, but the route could not be explored before the conquest of Syria in July 1941 . It then became evident that much heavy bridge work would be necessary in the Litani gorges which would not be economically justifiable as a wartime project .

It comes at a time when the country as a whole is torn into bits and pieces and when, following eleven years of war, the economy is in shambles: the industrial sector is virtually crippled, the wheels of commerce are slowly grinding to a halt, and the national currency is fast becoming worthless. In this tormented context, the construction sector, as will become apparent in the following pages, has incredibly maintained its resilience.
