Colonial countries used the pretext of protecting Christian minorities as a tool to in filtrate the affairs of other countries to achieve the interests they sought. This led to the desire to highlight a model such as that of France 's policy towards the Assyrians in Syria for the period of 1933-1939, There was an independent study, in particular a documentary study on the subject of the research, which was divided into five axes. The first axis spoke about the French archaeological relations until 1918, the second axis was titled the first archaeological migration to Syria, The fifth axis discussed the general situation of the Athurians inside the Syrian territories and the French position. Finally, the subject of the research came out with a number of results, The main point was that after the exodus of the Assyrians, the French government sought to exploit the internal problems suffered by the government. In particular with the Assyrians, to urge the latter to immigrate to Syria, with the aim of recruiting them into their forces and creating a balance of population in their favor in the Syrian region at the expense of their original inhabitants and making them a tool to strike the national anti-colonial movementz, in particular the Syrian National Bloc.
