What are the causes and effects of the Lebanon war?

The main causes of the war in Lebanon was the fact that the Syrian government had forced itself into Lebanon, and the Lebanese did not like this. Also in Lebanon, there was a war between Christians and Muslims. The cause of the Lebanese civil war was neither exclusively internal nor exclusively external, nor was its settlement. The civil war came to an end at a specific historical juncture when movement toward internal reconciliation coincided with favorable regional and international developments.

The effects of the Lebanon war started with an economy that went down and was no longer effective. But more importantly, the war caused a huge damage in all the cities in Lebanon. At that time, Lebanon did really need a rebuilding situation in all aspects. Morover, There was a great loss of people where as today, some dead bodies still hidden underground since the war. In the late 1960s, especially after the 1967 war, internal and regional changes began to adversely affect Lebanon. Internally, socio-political polarization among the Lebanese increased. There was a growing migration of the rural population to Beirut, moving into poverty belts around the city, and suffering from rising inflation and cost of living. Socio-political tensions fueled rural uprisings and workers' strikes, and the emergence of a militant student protest movement.
