Talk:Syria Province, Ottoman Empire

Needs rewriting. It had been redirecting to History of Syria, which discusses the history of the territory that falls within the boundaries of the modern state known by that name. Şam (Ottoman Syria) was a much larger territory, covering not only present-day Syria, but also Lebanon, Jordan, Palestine (aka Israel, the West Bank, and the Gaza Strip), part of Turkey, and part of Iraq. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Alma Teao Wilson (talk • contribs) 01:56, 7 February 2007
