When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Peasant uprising in Kasrawan
This system failed to keep order when the peasants of Kasrawan, overburdened by heavy taxes, rebelled against the feudal practices that prevailed in Mount Lebanon. In 1858 Tanyus Shahin, a Maronite peasant leader, demanded that the feudal class abolish its privileges. When this demand was refused, the poor peasants began to prepare for a revolt. In January 1859, an armed uprising headed by Shahin flared up. The uprising targeted the shaykhs of Mount Lebanon, pillaging their land and burning their homes. Having driven the Maronite feudal lords out of Kesruan and seizing their land and property, the insurgent peasants set up their own rule.[3]

The Kasrawan uprising, as it became known, had a revolutionary effect on other regions in Lebanon. The disturbances spread to Latakia and the central Lebanon. Maronite peasants, actively supported by their clergy, began to prepare for an armed uprising against their Druze masters. The Druze feudal lords in their turn began to arm the Druze irregulars
A bit more context would be helpful in giving you the right fit eg. country? Era?

ايضا تراتب بين مناصب وعامّة الأولون هم المقاطعجية حاملو الألقاب امير مقدم شيخ (ألقاب من السلطان والعامة هم الفلاحون والتجار والصناع وكانت النزاعات دائمة بين الطرفين وبين الحكام والسلطة من جهة اخرى

(مناصب = امير- مقدم – شيخ :القاب من السلطان

عامة = فلاحون – تجار- اصحاب اموال )

صراع بين مناصب وعامة

بين مناصب والسلطان

صراع بين الأسر المقاطعجية ذاتها والتنافس على خدمة السلطان او الوالي في ذلك الوقت كان الصراع قيسيّ – يمنيّ ,و في جبل لبنان جنبلاطيّ – يزبكيّ.

كلمة اقطاع تعني نظاما اجتماعيا اقتصاديا سياسيا قائما على اساس المقاطعات التي تتوزع فيها السلطة السياسية بين المقاطعجية المقاطعجي خاضع لأمير البلاد وبدورأمير البلاد خاضع للوالي العثمانيوالوالي خاضع للسلطان الذي يمثل الاب البدائي.

المقاطعجي : تعني زعيم اقطاعي وارث لزعامته على مقاطعة معينة تنحدر اليه توارثا” من عائلته المخوّلة بالسلطة .

عند الفتح العثماني لسوريا عام 1516 كانت المناطق التي تكون فيها الكيان اللبناني مقسمة بين عدد من المشايخ والزعماء ( تنوخيون_ارسلانيون_آل عساف…) كانت هناك صراعات دائمة وحروب فيما بينهم , عيّن العثمانيون زعيم آل معن فخر الدين بن عثمان بن ملحم وخلفه قرقماز ومن ثم فخر الدين المعني الذي عرف عهده حروبا كثيرة وانجارات واتهم بالعمل على الانفصال على السلطة وأعدم في اسطنبول في 13 نيسان 1635

بعد فخر الدين آل معن اتى آل شهاب :

بشير شهاب الاول 1697_1707

بشير شهاب الثاني 1788-1840

في عهده ظهرت عامية انطلياس ولحفد وهي اول تحدي جدي لسلطة بشير المركزية وللنظام المقاطعجي برمته اعتنق الامير بشير المسيحيّة وابعد بشير جنبلاط.

كان تقسيم لبنان الى قائمقاميتين فكرة عليلة المصير منذ لحظة ولادتها فقد اوجد التقسيم انفصالا سياسيا كان من شأنه ان وسّع شقة الاختلاف الطائفي والمذهبي بدل ان يلقي الوفاق بين الطرفين ” تلك الخطة كانت بمثابة تنظيم للحرب الاهلية في البلاد”.7

The anti-feudal movement was especially strong in the Lebanon. The big Druze feudal lords returned to the Lebanon after the dethronement and banishment of Emir Beshir II in 1840 and began to solicit for the return of their former estates and political privileges. The Maronite peasants offered resistance to the Druzes, on whose lands they had settled during the reign of Emir Beshir II. The ensuing struggle created a tangle of conflicts. The real class differences, complicated by the conflicts between the Druzes and the Maronites, were supplemented by the rivalry between England and France, who backed the opposing religious and political groups. England supported the Druzes and France, the Maronites.

In October 1841, the British-armed Druze feudal lords instigated a revolt against the Porte’s appointee, Emir Qassim, who was Beshir II’s cousin. They managed to involve the Druze peasants, who were dependent upon them. The insurgents laid siege to the Emir’s palace. They broke into the Maronite villages, slaughtered the population, burnt homes and seized lands and orchards. The Maronites organised self-defence detachments and at times successfully repulsed the attacks of the Druzes. Several Maronite detachments penetrated into the Druze villages, where they organised pogroms. This mutual extermination continued for six weeks. The Druzes finally gained the upper hand and took over the southern Lebanon.

province heads

I think it refers to the heads/leaders of provinces.
This expression is used. See for example http://www.igr.gov.pg/provs.html.

Feudalistniks

Feudalistniks
(The suffix nik is used with a noun to indicate ironic connotation).

عند إضافة المقطع "جية" على مصطلح الإقطاعي فإن ذلك يوحي بالتهكم من الاقطاعيين
لذلك فإن أقرب استعمال باللغة الإنجليزية هو إضافة المقطع المقابل للمقعط العربي "جية" على المصطلح الإنجليزي لكلمة الاقطاعي وهو
Feudalistnik.
