Beirut (named locality; exact surrender site unresolved)
Part of
Firman replaces Bashir Shihab II as Emir of Mount Lebanon; his surrender to the Ottomans

Bashir Shihab II's rule over Mount Lebanon ended in 1840; the event scope's surrender to the Ottomans on 11 October 1840 is not verifiable from the supplied passages.

Bashir Shihab II ruled the Emirate of Mount Lebanon from 1788 until 1840, when his rule ended amid the Oriental Crisis. An alliance of sheikhs, with British–Ottoman support, had launched a rebellion against Bashir and Ibrahim Pasha on 27 May 1840, and the Convention of London (1840) finalised terms that restored Ottoman territories. The event scope states that Bashir surrendered to the Ottomans on 11 October 1840, but no supplied passage records the surrender itself or that date, so it is flagged as unsourced rather than asserted.
