Notes
The importance of the research lies in the fact that it discusses the policy of the Ottoman Empire towards the Christian community in the Levant. The Ottoman Empire was based on the policy of keeping the situation in most Arab countries as they were, especially with non-Muslims from the sects. Each sect was independent and enjoyed important privileges, especially in the religious and educational aspects. It had a head of the group who worked with a council specific to his group. The council consisted of two sections, religious and civil, and the Milli Councils represented the legitimate authority or legislative body in all matters related to matters related to it. The Ottoman Empire considered education a matter related to religions and sects and granted them the right to establish and manage educational schools. These schools relied on religious education and developed in the nineteenth century to be the source of modern education. One of the important matters is the intervention of European countries under the pretext of protecting the Christian sects in the Levant and the great competition between those countries and their adoption of one sect over another. The intervention resulted in negative and positive things. It fueled strife for more than two decades and at the same time relied on Christians in trade, economics, evangelism and education. We find that the educated elite that contributed to the adoption of secular thought and modern education are mostly Christians from the East.
