		Collectors of Lebanon and Syria are abundantly aware of the astronomical number of varieties encountered among stamps issued during the French administration, 1919–1945.
		The high proportion of provisional overprints, which are a fertile source of varieties and errors, can in part be attributed to the changing political status of the area, which in about a quarter century passed from an Ottoman province to Independence via “Occupied Enemy Territory”, “French Military Occupation”, Mandates, and Republics under French protection.
		Contributing to the plethora of surcharges were frequent rate modifications and country name changes, as when Grand Liban was renamed République Libanaise or Alaouites became Lattaquie.

		From the point of view of religion likewise, there is a diversity of sects and beliefs: Mohammedans: Sunnites, Shiites, Alaouites, Druses, Ismailis, etc. Christians: Orthodox, Catholics, Protestants, Gregorians, Jacobites, Maronites, Nestorians, etc. This religious mosaic is especially striking in for example Libya and Syria.
		As capitalism made only a late and slight penetration in these countries, the centuries-old economic, as well as social, cultural, and ethnic structures, though upset and even in places overthrown, have nevertheless not been eliminated, and at the present moment are being interwoven in the reconstruction taking place in the Arab countries.
