What if France joined the Russo-Turkish war and occupied Beirut and the Mount Lebanon Mutasarrifate and at the peace treaty gets these two territories and joines them together as a French protectorate, perhaps at first still nominally a part of the Ottoman Empire or under it's suzerainty, much like Egypt or Cyprus. This state and it's capital Beirut would contain a large Christian majority and be more stable than otl Lebanon. This would butterfly away Lebanese civil war. What do you guys think?
