In 1920, after the collapse of the Ottoman Empire, the Syrian Arab Kingdom was formed with the center in Damascus. However, the independence of this state did not last very long — in 1922, the French army occupied the Syrian lands. In 1936, a treaty was signed between Syria and France providing for the independence of Syria, but in 1939 France refused to ratify it. In 1940, France itself was occupied by German troops, and Syria came under the control of the Vichy Regime.
