Show morePhotograph album apparently assembled by a French military officer based in Syria in the first period of the French Mandate in Syria and Lebanon (1923-1946), during the handover period from Turkish to French control. Photographs show Turkish and French officers during their recreational activities, visiting ancient sites, Damascus and other cities or sailing to Egypt and Istanbul. Snapshots include the daily lives of the families of the French officers. The French Mandate of Syria was a League of Nations mandate founded after World War I and the partitioning of the Ottoman Empire. During the two years that followed the end of the war in 1918 and in accordance with the Sykes-Picot Agreement that was signed between Britain and France during the war, the French controlled most of Ottoman Syria (modern Syria, Lebanon, Alexandretta) and other portions of southeastern Turkey. In the early 1920s, the French control of these territories became formalized by the League of Nations mandate system, and France was assigned the mandate of Syria on 29 September 1923.
