The main cause of the Lebanese Civil War was that the fragile balance between the Maronite Christians, Sunni Arabs, and Shiite Arabs was in a precarious position and the arrival of the PLO (Palestinian Liberation Organization) in Lebanon threatened to tip the scales. As a result, each faction took to battle in order to increase their stake in the country's leadership. This conflict eventually spilled over into Israel and Syria, leading to those countries ending the War.
The Lebanese civil war took place between 1975 and 1990 CE. It was caused by the displacement of a hundred thousand Palestinian refugees. This influx added to the already strained religious tensions. The militarization of the Palestinian refugees also caused an arms race among the Lebanese political factions and ultimately caused the break out of the civil war.
Answer 1
The Palestinians caused problems in Israel, so they were kicked out and they fled to Jordan. The Palestinians caused problems in Jordan, so King Hussein launched Black September and killed anywhere from 8 to 15,000 Palestinians in one month. The Palestinians then fled to Lebanon which caused the civil war that resulted in about 500,000 deaths. so many in fact that the Lebanese government didn't even bother to investigate the "mere 3,000" killed at Sabra and Shatilla by Lebanese Roman Catholics.

Answer 3
The causes of the Lebanese Civil War included, but were not limited to:
- The rising percentage of Shiite Muslims and sinking percentage of Maronite Christians and the Shiites wanting more power.
- The arrival of Palestinian Militant Organizations like the PLO fleeing Jordan after King Hussein's Black September who brought unrest and chaos with them.
- The languishing, horrible conditions of the vast numbers of Palestinian Refugees in Lebanon.
- The increasing militancy and radicalization of the Maronite Christian minority.
- The increasing Syrian support of Shiite Paramilitary Groups
Israel entered the Lebanese Civil War on account of the following two reasons:
- Palestinian Paramilitary Organizations began to rain rockets down on Northern Israel in an attempt to goad Israel to enter the Lebanese Civil War. The PLO believed that such an entry would unite the Shiites and Sunnis behind one banner to repel the Israelis. The Union did not form, but Israel did retaliate by crossing the border and hunting down the PLO.
- Christian Falangists, with whom Israel quickly allied, promised Israel a longer term ceasefire and more amicable relations in the future. Israel wanted a chance at peace with Lebanon and therefore supported those who would advocate for this.

How do the Palestinian refugees affect Lebanon?
There are 400,000 Palestinian Refugees in Lebanon. The Lebanese government actively excludes them from integrating into Lebanese society, including bans on living and working outside of the refugee camps. This leads to high unemployment and poverty in the camps, further fueling violence between Palestinians and Lebanese. This violence was amplified in the 1970s when Palestinian militant groups fleeing Jordan took root in Lebanon. In 1975, antagonism between the Palestinians and Lebanese was one of the primary causes of the Lebanese Civil War. To this day, Palestinians in Lebanon have been horribly mistreated and more Palestinians died in the Lebanese Civil War than all conflicts in Israel/Palestine combined.
