Syria
💡 Beginning on 17 October 1850, a riot broke out in Aleppo, in present-day Syria, as Muslim residents of the city's eastern quarters clashed with Christian residents of the Judayde and Salibeh suburbs. Over the following two days the violence claimed some 70 lives, including that of Peter VII Jarweh, the Syriac Catholic Patriarch, and was later remembered as the culmination of long-standing tensions between the city's communities.
