It sounds like you are describing Lebanon. Lebanon was part of the Ottoman Empire until its dissolution after World War I, and it became a French mandate. Lebanon gained independence from France on November 22, 1943.
The Lebanese Civil War lasted from 1975 to 1990, officially ending in 1990 but leaving the country with ongoing political and sectarian struggles well into the late 1980s and beyond. The civil war was marked by complex intercommunal violence, foreign interventions, and the involvement of various militia groups. The instability in Lebanon often continued after the civil war officially ended, leading to further conflicts and crises in the years that followed.
