dc.description.abstractAgainst the backdrop of the liberation of Syria and Lebanon from the Ottoman Turks by the Allied forces in September-October 1918, the paper focuses on the role the Eastern (Armenian) Legion played and the military operations it undertook from Port Said in Egypt to Cilicia. Archival materials, published analyses of military historians, and memoirs of legionaries, the advance of British troops and the Armenian Legion in Lebanon and Syria is narrated in detail. The paper confirms that the Armenian legion was the first to set foot in Beirut, under the flag of the Allied Forces. The paper confirms that the Armenian legion was the first to set foot in Beirut, under the flag of the Allied Forces. The paper argues that the French forces, with their depleted numbers, capitalized on the success of the Armenian battalions, to assert their presence in the Middle East. The Armenian refugees who survived the Genocide welcomed the advance of the Armenian Legion. Young Armenian refugees expressed willingness to volunteer for the Armenian Legion as the latter was to become the core of the liberated Armenian homeland. However, the French were quick to forget the promises they had given to the Armenians. Indeed, French politics shifted to pro-Turkish, and the French did not encourage the enlargement of the Armenian legion. On the contrary, they reduced its size and eventually disbanded it, thus killing the Armenian dream of a Cilician homeland.
