As time continued, the Muslim population outgrew the Christian population. This lead to the Muslims wanting more power in the government because they now had a greater population. This is the main cause of the tension.]]> 2017-04-06 17:36:53 UTC https://padlet.com/20baumsad/z5yjepdmivqc/wish/165218330 20baumsad https://padlet.com/20baumsad/z5yjepdmivqc/wish/165218718 Religious fighting started in 1970, and is still happening to some extent today, although the civil war was from 1975-1990.]]> 2017-04-06 17:38:05 UTC https://padlet.com/20baumsad/z5yjepdmivqc/wish/165218718 20baumsad https://padlet.com/20baumsad/z5yjepdmivqc/wish/165219312 The conflict is mainly between the Muslims who lack enough representation in the government and the Christians who have too much representation and power in the government. ]]> 2017-04-06 17:39:57 UTC https://padlet.com/20baumsad/z5yjepdmivqc/wish/165219312 20baumsad https://padlet.com/20baumsad/z5yjepdmivqc/wish/165224771 Since 1975, this conflict has caused over 200,000 deaths between the two ethnic groups. Over 1 million more were displaced. This conflict in Lebanon tied in with the much larger Syrian Civil war. Because of this conflict the people that were displaced often became refugees and went to seek shelter in neighboring countries.]]> 2017-04-06 17:57:01 UTC https://padlet.com/20baumsad/z5yjepdmivqc/wish/165224771 20baumsad https://padlet.com/20baumsad/z5yjepdmivqc/wish/165225552 The civil war conflict was resolved in 1990 by the Taif Agreement, including restructuring the National Pact political system, which transferred some of the power to the Muslims. However, there is still religious tension. The tension can only be resolved if people will set aside differences and accept people of all cultures and religions.]]> 2017-04-06 17:58:57 UTC https://padlet.com/20baumsad/z5yjepdmivqc/wish/165225552 20baumsad https://padlet.com/20baumsad/z5yjepdmivqc/wish/165230221 The two countries who influenced this conflict are Syria and Israel. While these two countries did try to help, they were a part of the cause of this conflict. Syria and Israel have extremely contradicting viewpoints and Lebanon is caught right in between them. When Syria and Lebanon tried to step in and give soldiers once the war had started, the tension increased even more. In my opinion, I do not believe that other countries should get involved. The conflict is starting to decrease even though the tensions are still high and past tries to help made the tension even worse. If we should have helped, the time has passed to do so.]]> 2017-04-06 18:11:31 UTC https://padlet.com/20baumsad/z5yjepdmivqc/wish/165230221 20baumsad https://padlet.com/20baumsad/z5yjepdmivqc/wish/165233025 2017-04-06 18:19:16 UTC https://padlet.com/20baumsad/z5yjepdmivqc/wish/165233025 20baumsad https://padlet.com/20baumsad/z5yjepdmivqc/wish/165235174 2017-04-06 18:25:20 UTC https://padlet.com/20baumsad/z5yjepdmivqc/wish/165235174 20baumsad https://padlet.com/20baumsad/z5yjepdmivqc/wish/165235285 2017-04-06 18:25:42 UTC https://padlet.com/20baumsad/z5yjepdmivqc/wish/165235285 20baumsad https://padlet.com/20baumsad/z5yjepdmivqc/wish/165235703 2017-04-06 18:26:49 UTC https://padlet.com/20baumsad/z5yjepdmivqc/wish/165235703
