From the midst of 30s of the ΧΙΧ-th century to the beginning of the First World War (1914-1918) the Jesuits develop and guide with the active financial and diplomatic support of France and the Vatican multiple educational and religious establishments in the Ottoman Empire, which through the years are transformed into leading propagandists of the French cultural influence and Western values amongst the local population. The Society of Jesus undertakes a major educational activity and manages dozens of primary schools for boys and girls in Syria and
Lebanon. Priests manage also the „St. Joseph” University in Beirut, which becomes the most significant educational establishment of the society in the Orient. In the beginning of the 80s years of the ΧΙΧ-th century the missionaries settle in Asia Minor. Following their centuries-old traditions in the field of education the monks organize primary and secondary schools attached to their missions providing for the adolescents in the region the opportunity to reach the accomplishments of the Western Catholic culture.
