Pan Arabism

Nasser's idea of Pan Arabism was the establishment of unifying all Arab nations. The would include all Arab nations that have a common historical background and identity with Arab heritage. Many nations were together in this attempt to strengthen Arab nations against the creation of Israel. However, this was difficult since every Arab nation had troubles which caused them to drift apart versus staying together.

Syria and Egypt were the first to join together and start a unified republic called The United Arab Republic in 1958. They joined military forces to defense themselves and other Arab nations from occupation by Israel. But in 1979, President Sadat decided to create peace with Israel which caused great issues with Nasser's idea of Pan Arabism. Since then, the Arab nations and their issues became to big to ignore which led them to divid among themselves and establishing a time of turbulance. It seems that the Middle East will never be destined to hold a unified connection with one another because the constant different views regarding relations with Israel and their own issues within their nation.
