As the Syrians are welcomed into Canada, it is useful to learn about where they
are coming from. Syria is an ancient land with a rich history and has always been
home to diverse cultures, ethnicities and religions. Palmyra was an ancient
civilization that arose during the second century. Syria became part of the land
of Islam in AD 640 and was a cultural, religious and artistic center. During the
Middle Ages, Syria came under the control of the Crusaders and was part of the
Ottoman Empire from the early fifteen hundreds until the end of the nineteenth
century. During World War I it came under French influence and was recognized as
an independent nation after World War II. In 1963, Hafez al-Assad led a military
coup and since then, Syria has been ruled under emergency law. After al-Assad
died in 2000, his son Bashar al-Assad was elected President in an uncontested
presidential campaign. Before the current conflict, Syria had a population of
approximately 22 million people but now about half the population have been
displaced internally and into neighbouring countries, including approximately
four million refugees. It is estimated that 250,000 people have died during the
Syrian conflict.
