Since 1936 France has been committed to the independence of Syria and the Lebanon. By that time their constitutional structure had been completed, and local governments at Damascus, Syria and Beirut, Lebanon were functioning. Franco-Lebanese and Franco-Syrian treaties were therefore negotiated along lines very similar to those of the Anglo-Iraqi treaty of 1931. Unfortunately, the ratification of these treaties, bitterly opposed by reactionary elements in France, was blocked by Georges Bonnet's Ministry of Foreign Affairs after the fall of the Popular Front Cabinet.
