The [[Ottoman Empire Genealogy|Ottoman]] sultan Salim I invaded [[Syria Genealogy|Syria]] in 1516 and ruled the region of [[Lebanon Genealogy|Mount Lebanon]] indirectly through appointed Lebanese emirs. As a Sunni Muslim empire, Ottoman rulers granted the various religious minority groups of Mount Lebanon relative autonomy in governing their own affairs, allowing Druze, Maronite Christian, and other confessional communities semi-independence in enacting their own laws. The Ottomans controlled Lebanon until the empire splintered at the end of World War I, at which point administration of the region passed to the French Mandate.<ref>Wikipedia contributors, "History of Lebanon under Ottoman rule," in ''Wikipedia: the Free Encyclopedia'', https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Lebanon_under_Ottoman_rule, accessed 9 September 2019.</ref>
