Rebellion and Battles of 1866
- When
- 1866
- Where
- Saint Doumit, Lebanon (per legacy row only)
During Youssef Bey Karam's 1866–1867 rebellion, his supporters fought battles against the Mutasarrif's soldiers; the Saint Doumit engagement and its outcome rest solely on the legacy row.
Karam declared opposition to the Mutasarrifate government after the 1864 Basic Law amendments renewed Daoud Pasha's mandate, left Turkey for Ehden, allied with Prince Salman ibn Melhem Al-Harfushi, and gathered men for resistance. Many battles followed between his forces and the Mutasarrif's soldiers. The legacy row places a clash at Saint Doumit in 1866 ending in Ottoman defeat, but no supplied passage confirms that engagement, its location, or its outcome; the 6 January date is likewise unconfirmed.
