Syria gained its independence in April 1946 from France. However, before that the region of "Greater Syria" (Bilad al-Sham or the countries of the north) consisted of the region of the current states of Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, and Israel/Palestine and was an administrative region of the Ottoman Empire, as well as many former empires such as the Abbasids, Umayyads, and even the Romans and Greeks before that.

Who was the president of Syrian Arab Republic in 1915?
There was no Syrian Arab Republic in 1915. Syria was part of the Ottoman Empire until 1919 and the land that is currently called Syria was not under one administrative region, but rather four: Wilayat Dimashq, Wilayat Halab, Wilayat Beirut, and the autonomous Sanjak of Zor. It is worth noting that all of Syria was part of one of these four provinces, but that these provinces did not only consist of Syria. Their territories bleed into Israel, Lebanon, the Palestinian Territories, Iraq, and Turkey. This is because the Ottoman boundaries have almost nothing to do with those established by the Sykes-Picot Agreement which established the modern national borders. In 1951, (in case the date was accidentally mis-entered), Syria was not called the Syrian Arab Republic, but rather the Republic of Syria. In 1951, the President was Hashim al-Atassi until he was overthrown by military coup in December and replaced with Fawzi Selu, a military leader.
