The Alawite State (Arabic: دولة جبل العلويين, Dawlat Jabal al-‘Alawiyyīn; French: État des Alaouites), officially named the Territory of the Alawites (French: territoire des Alaouites), after the locally-dominant Alawites from its inception until its integration to the Syrian Federation in 1922, was a French mandate territory on the coast of present-day Syria after World War I.[1] The French Mandate from the League of Nations lasted from 1920 to 1946.[2]
The use of "Alawite", instead of "Nusayri", was advocated by the French early in the Mandate period and referred to a member of the Alawite faith. In 1920, the French-named "Alawite Territory" was home to a large population of Alawites.[3]
