Introduction : rethinking Benedict XV's contribution to international relations -- PART I. THE VATICAN AND CATHOLIC INTERESTS IN PREWAR AND WARTIME GREATER SYRIA, 1914-1917. Benedict XV, Pope of Peace -- Protection of Catholics in the Ottoman Empire -- Vatican wartime foreign policy -- Protection of Catholic clergy and property -- Benedict XV's humanitarian assistance -- PART II. POSTWAR PROTECTION OF CATHOLIC INTERESTS, 1917-1922. The Holy See and the postwar world order -- The Holy See and Syria -- The Holy See and Palestine -- Conclusion.
