Syria

My only stamps of the country.

A country at the E. end of the Mediterranean Sea, formerly Turkish territory. Occupied by the Allies in 1918 and administered under French military occupation. An Arab kingdom was set up in the Aleppo and Damascus area during 1919, but the Emir Faisal came into conflict with the French and was defeated in July 1920. In April 1920, the mandate was offered to France becoming effective in September 1923. Syria became a republic in 1934 and the mandate ended with full independence in 1942

In 1958 the UAR was formed which comprised Egypt and Syria but separate stamps were issued for each territory. In 1961 Syria left the UAR and the Syrian Arab Republic was established.

Cover - Micronesia, Country #125

Micronesia is a group of islands in the Pacific, that was part of the German Caroline Islands from 1899 to 1914. Occupied by the Japanese in 1914 the islands were from 1920 a Japanese mandated territory, and from 1947 part of the United States Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands, using United States stamps.

The first stamps of independent Micronesia were issued in 1984 and depicted the four federated states that make up the country, Yap (stamp on cover), Chuuk, Pohnpei and Kosrae, in a se-tenant design.
