*The second wave of Lebanese immigration began in the late 1940s and continued through the early 1990s, when Lebanese immigrants had been '''fleeing the Lebanese Civil War'''. Between 1948 and 1990, over 60,000 Lebanese entered the United States. Since then, immigration has slowed to an estimated 5,000 immigrants a year, and those who now settle are predominantly Muslim, in contrast to the predominantly-Christian population of immigrants of previous waves. | *The second wave of Lebanese immigration began in the late 1940s and continued through the early 1990s, when Lebanese immigrants had been '''fleeing the Lebanese Civil War'''.
