Saturday July 12, 1941. The Vichy end in Syria and Lebanon, the USSR and UK come to an agreement.

The Battle of Beirut brought to an end the British Commonwealth Syria-Lebanon campaign with a successful Commonwealth outcome.  An armistace between the Vichy French and the British Commonwealth would be signed that day.

An interesting overall feature of this campaign is that it never resulted in a declaration of war by Vichy France.  The fighting was outright, of course, but the French held back on formally entering the war in spite of it.

The Soviet Union and the United Kingdom signed an agreement that they would render each other assitance and that neigther would negotiate a seperate peace.
