History of Lebanon
The smallest country in the continent of Asia, Lebanon is on the Mediterranean Sea, bordering Israel and Syria. The earliest evidence of human inhabitation pre-dates recorded history, and likely occurred more than 7,000 years ago. Originally home to the Canaanites, the area was once a thriving seafaring nation that flourished for a thousand years. It was eventually taken over by the Holy Roman Empire, and became one of the Empire’s leading centers for Christianity. It was shortly taken over by the Arabs, but after the Crusades, the Roman Empire assumed control once more. Starting in 1516, the area was controlled by the Ottoman Empire, where it remained for 400 years. It was then briefly controlled by the French following World War I, but then declared its independence in 1943.
Lebanon relies on both tourism and gold production to drive the economy. Due to the lax laws regarding the movement of capital across its borders, it is easy to purchase and move its gold reserves, along with other precious metals and gems. Recently, oil reserves have been found inland, which has also start to drive the economy upward.
