Description
This thesis seeks to analyze Pan-Arabism through the lens of the United Arab Republic. I
argue that even though the UAR faced many internal issues, it ultimately failed due to
external pressures. I argue this to provide a new perspective on the Middle East and the
Arab world, by showing how it came to be as it is. I organize my thesis into four
chapters: I. Introduction: Arab Unity and its Limits, II. The Marriage of Syria and Egypt,
III. The UAR and the Cold War IV. The Collapse of the United Arab Republic. I analyze
the factors that brought both Egypt and Syria together to create the first democratically
united state in the Arab World, and how it had lasting affects upon the Arab World.
