Ethnic Competition in Lebanon
• There is ethnic fighting between religious groups.
• 60 % Muslim • 30% Christian

• Christians and Muslims have breakdowns that further lead to problems.
Ethnic Competition in Lebanon
• When Lebanon became indpt in 1943, constitution
required that each religion be represented in the govt by % of pop in 1932.
• Then there were more Christians. Now more
• This caused a civil war
between 1975-1990. During this each
religion claimed a territory with their own army.

than one state
• Dividing ethnicities in South Asia
