对于叙利亚的城市政治来说，两次世界大战之间的几年至关重要。该国正处于过渡阶段，令人不安地徘徊在奥斯曼帝国统治的四个世纪和民族独立之间。虽然帝国已经崩溃，新的社会和政治组织形式出现，但叙利亚的城市精英仍然有一个独特的奥斯曼帝国。与此同时，法国占领了这个国家，但统治笨拙，越来越不确定。委任统治制度本身决定了法国人不能无限期地留在叙利亚，阿拉伯民族主义，无论多么不一致和含糊不清，已经成为那个时代的统治性政治思想。独立的呼声响彻叙利亚大部分地区，没有什么地方比她的城市更响亮和清晰，这些城市是传统的政治生活中心。
For urban politics in Syria, the interwar years were pivotal. The country was in a transitional phase, uncomfortably suspended between four centuries of Ottoman rule and national independence. Although the Empire had collapsed and new forms of social and political organization were available, there remained a distinctive Ottoman cast to Syria's urban elites. Meanwhile, France had occupied the country, but was ruling clumsily and with a growing measure of uncertainty. The Mandate system itself dictated that the French could not remain in Syria indefinitely and Arab nationalism, however inconsistent and inarticulate, had become the reigning political idea of the age. The cry of independence rang across much of Syria, and nowhere more loudly and clearly than in her cities, the traditional centers of political life.
