1900 CE to 1911 CE

A small group of Western-oriented Muslim and Christian Arab intellectuals in Beirut in 1875 had begun urging the study of Arab history, literature, and language to revive Arab identity.

By means of secretly printed and circulated publications they attempted to expose the harsh nature of Ottoman rule and to arouse an Arab consciousness in order to achieve greater autonomy or even independence.

The idea of independence always was expressed in the context of a unified entity—"the Arab nation" as a whole.

After only a few years, however, Ottoman security operations had stifled the group's activities.
