The captures of Damascus and Aleppo happened pretty late in the War OTL, and Mosul and Kirkuk were only occupied after Armistice of Mudros.

What if the Ottomans had managed to hold off the British and retain Damascus, Aleppo, Mosul, and Kirkuk?

The French still get Greater Lebanon here. I think it'd be too important a place to the French for the British not to push for that.

I left all of Syria sans Lebanon as part of Turkey here and didn't really adjust other boundaries. I think it's likely that French Lebanon would include Galilee and the Golan though, if only to compensate for other territories that the French aren't getting here.

I assume that a great many Assyrians and Armenians who today live in Syria and Iraq would end up in French Lebanon-Galilee here. Perhaps Arab Christians as well.
