Bright day
In 1943 under de facto British control of French Mandate territories in Near East elections were held.
In Lebanon the original elite supported by France- Maronites was split between pro-French and pro-British factions. The British were represented by one Sir Edward Spears who could not care less for French. Pro-British Maronites thus won and formed an alliance with Sunni- which will break down in 13 years compeltely.
What if instead of Francoiphobe, the Brits are represented by Francophile and the other Maronite faction wins?
