Under Roman rule at the time of Christ, Syria became a center of Christianity. When Islam began to expand from Arabia, Syria was conquered & Islamic rule replaced Christianity in 636. Although threatened by Syrian Christians & Turks the Arabs remained dominant until the 1500's when the Ottoman army conquered Syria. During the 18th century France became the protector of Syrian Christians against Ottoman abuses. During WWI Syria rebelled against the Turkish rule & fought for independence. [BM] {UA}
