Lebanon contains various beliefs and cultural components and so has been on focus throughout history. Here, Maronites and Druzes stand out among other groups who have similar ethnicities but different beliefs and cultures. However, there have been many disputes between Maronites and Druzes, dating back to the Middle Ages. Particularly, cases that broke out between these groups at the beginning of the 19 th century and some other international events made Lebanon close to a break-up in both social and administrative affairs. Perhaps one of the most important reasons that led Lebanon to this break-up was that Muhammad Ali Pasha took over the administration of the region.Muhammad Ali Pasha, who rebelled against the Ottoman State, took Lebanon under his domination. Then, he caused various problems in the social fabric of the region by doing some wrong practices such as recruiting, increasing taxes and withdrawing weapons from people. In this study, the problems that arose as a result of Muhammad Ali Pasha's administration in Lebanon were analysed and his impacts on the region were examined.
