Years: 1252 - 1395
Shi'a Muslims migrate during the eleventh to the thirteenth centuries from Syria, Iraq, and the Arabian Peninula to the northern part of the Beqaa Valley and to the Kasrawan Region in the mountains northeast of Beirut.
They and the Druzes rebel in 1291 while the Mamluks are busy fighting European Crusaders and Mongols, but after repelling the invaders, the Mamluks crush the rebellion in 1308.
To escape from repression and massacres by the Mamluks, the Shi'as abandon Kasrawan and move to southern Lebanon.
