The article describes the events and context of the Lebanese 1935 protests to the tobacco monopoly
In June 1935 protests erupted across Lebanon and Syria.[1] The protests were organised in response to the announcement by French colonial authorities of the establishment of a new tobacco monopoly under the Regie.[2] Groups from across society participated in the protests, including students, tobacco workers, feminist groups, leftist organisations and members of the Maronite community.[1] The protests not only voiced economic grievances but took on an anti-imperial tone and expressed national political frustration that cut across all groups in society.[2] The tobacco protests in Lebanon were not necessarily an exceptional event for the time period as protests and revolts had characterized many of the areas of the region in the early 20th century.[3] In fact during 1935 there were a number of other notable protests including tribal revolts in the Middle Euphrates, the student Wafd protests in Egypt, and also the concurrent tobacco protests in Syria.[4][3]
