بشير الثاني الشهابي
Under the rule of Pasha, who was the son of [[Muhammad Ali of Egypt]], power in the region was altered from Istanbul to Cairo and the Druze were conscripted to fight along his side. However, the request of Druze arms was highly unpopular among the Druze population, as were following conscription orders, resulting in a major insurrection of the Druze population of [[Wadi al-Taym]] and Mount Lebanon against the authority of Pasha. This revolt, commonly known as the [[1838 Druze revolt]], was suppressed by Pasha with the collaboration of [[Bashir Shihab II]], the Lebanese emir by that time, and Maronite villagers. Pasha succeeded to put down the rebellion, and the total submission of the Druze leaders and population was accepted.
