📅 15 April 1946 📍 Fransia, Libano, Reino Uni, Siria

Foreign troops completed their departure from Syria after years of nationalist pressure and diplomatic disputes over the French mandate. A three-day celebration in Damascus followed. The withdrawal ended the direct French military presence but came after Syria had already proclaimed independence; the delay showed how mandate powers could retain force on the ground after formal commitments to sovereignty.
