Lebanese Civil War: The first troops of a multinational force lands in Beirut to oversee the Palestine Liberation Organization’s withdrawal from Lebanon.

The war ended with a negotiated settlement, the Taif Agreement, in 1989, which led to a power-sharing arrangement among Lebanon’s various religious and political groups.

The Taif Agreement was brokered by the Arab League and resulted in the rebalancing of power between Lebanon’s Christian and Muslim communities. It effectively ended the fighting, led to the disarmament of militias (except Hezbollah), and restructured Lebanon’s political system to provide more balanced representation.

However, the war had devastating effects on Lebanon, including massive loss of life, destruction of infrastructure, and deep sectarian divisions that still impact the country today.
