On 9 July 1860 CE, an outbreak of violence in the inner-city
Christian quarter of Damascus created shock waves locally and
internationally. This book provides a step-by-step presentation of
events and issues to assess the true role of all the players and
shapers of events. It critically examines the internal and external
politico-socio-economic factors involved and argues that economic
interests rather than religious fanaticism were the main causes for
the riot of 1860. Furthermore, it argues that the riot was not a
sudden eruption but rather a planned and organised affair.
