French Mandate for Syria and Lebanon

"The humiliating failure of the Arab intervention in Palestine against the newly created State of Israel in May 1948 brought serious discredit to the governments of the Arab countries involved, but nowhere more than in Syria."

France installed a puppet government in Syria.
France helped the British Empire start a war with Egypt to gain control of the Suez Canal just like Israel did.

After Napoleon was defeated did France become a puppet of the British Empire?

Very compelling argument. A retard could have said that.

From the link below:

"The third son of Hussein bin Ali, the Grand Emir and Sharif of Mecca, Faisal was born in Mecca and raised in Istanbul. From 1916 to 1918, with British assistance, he played a major role in the revolt against the Ottoman Empire. He helped set up an Arab government in Syria, based in Damascus, and led the Arab delegation at the Paris Peace Conference in 1919. In 1920, the Syrian National Congress proclaimed Faisal king, rejecting the French claim to a Mandate for Syria. In response, France invaded a few months later, abolished the kingdom and forced him into exile."

So the British Empire's ally France overthrew Faisal I and forced him into exile. Then the British Empire arranged for Faisal to become king of a new Kingdom of Iraq under British administration. Hashemite minority control over Iraq as a puppet dictator to take the brunt of the backlash.

Much like the Tutsis in Rwanda the resentment lingered over the years against their puppet dictator from Syria. Let's fast forward to Saddam's Ba'ath Party Purge. On 16 July 1979, President Saddam Hussein announced that his government had foiled a conspiracy between members of the Iraqi Ba'ath party and the Syrian Ba'athist government against the Iraqi Ba'athist government.

Resentment lingered for a long time with much distrust after they finally ousted their puppet dictator. They distrusted Syrians. Minority rule angered them and it was obvious their dictator was a puppet of the British.
