The upheaval of 1860, when fighting broke out between
Druzes and Christians and the death toll of lives reaching
the appalling total of 11,000, aggrevated sectarian hatrea,°
and it may have in one way or another offered secular
nationalists a:other reason and justification to challenge
the traditional elements in the society which still adhered
to the concept of Islamic community and unquestioned
Ottoman allegiance. There were already several factors
fostering anti-Turkish sentiments in Lebanon: Western
education, the political ideas of the French Revolution,
revival of the Arabic language, the printing press and the
publications of Arabic newspapers, travel abroad and the
return of emigrants from the United States of america.’
However, the immediate result of the increasing activities
of the Arab nationalists was the suppression of the literary
clubs and other organized groups whose activities were held
inimical to the Ottoman dynasty. By 1870 almost every
Arab association was dissolved by the Ottoman authorities.
The secret political associations which were founded
in Beirut, Damascus, Cairo and Constantinople during the
period 1870-1908 were more precise than their forerunners
in formulating their demands and defining their objectives.
