DESCRIPTION:Guest Speaker: Brian A. Brege\,&nbsp\;Assistant Professor\, Dep
 artment of History\, Syracuse University.&nbsp\;An intricate\, multisided 
 conflict\, framed as a rebellion against the tyrannical existing regime in
  Syria leads local rebels to seek to form an axis stretching from Lebanon 
 to Iran. Imaginations fired by the prospect of overthrowing a long-despise
 d foe and persuaded by a highly-educated exile’s critique\, Western interv
 ention begins with the covert supply of artillery and naval support. Threa
 tened by an aggressively expansive Iran’s recent military triumphs in the 
 region\, a massive Turkish army delivers the decisive blow against Kurdish
  rebels in Aleppo\, forcing the flight of a Maronite leader in Lebanon com
 promised by European patronage into exile in Italy. The eerie resonances o
 f Syria in 1606-1607 with present trials and tribulations need not lead to
  fatalism or resigned sighs about the graveyards of empires\, but they do 
 call for attention to the role of enduring structures. Examining the role 
 of the Grand Duchy of Tuscany’s military intervention in this earlier civi
 l war\, this presentation considers the contingent and structural features
  of the conflict that resulted in rebel defeat and devastation in Aleppo.C
