Hi ,

Even as means : at the same time as.

See the Eg : even as he lay dying they argued over his estate"; "the building collapsed just as he arrived

While has a different meaning .. Here i guess while is used as a conjunction
While was conjunction means : during or in the time that. There is a subtle difference .
In this case i guess while is the correct word 2 use

IMO A.

The Syrians never forgave the Crusaders.
The Syrians never absolvd the French.

Even as is used for showing similarity.

Am I right ??
