Pan-Arabism

Pan-Arabism is a movement for the unification of peoples and nations of the Arab world, spanning from North Africa to Arabian peninsula. The movement is closely linked to Arab nationalism, according to which the Arabs form a single nation. It peaked in the 1950's and 1960's and tends to be secular and sometimes socialist, and strongly opposes  colonialism and  Western political activity in the Arab world.

The cradle of Pan-Arabism was the Arabian Peninsula. In 1916, the Sharif of Mecca Hussein bin Ali Al-Hashimi founded the Hashemite Kingdom of Hejaz with its capital in the city of Jeddah, which was absorbed by Najd and gave rise to modern nation of  Saudi Arabia. In the wake of Arab solidarity, the struggle for the independence of the states of North Africa also took place after the end of World War II. In 1958, Egypt and  Syria founded the  United Arab Republic, however due to disagreements between the leaders, the country did not last long.

Pan-Arab ideology is supported by some political parties, most notably, Ba'ath. The most prominent figures of the Pan-Arab movement include Gamal Abdel Nasser,  Hafez al-Assad,  Saddam Hussein,  Yasser Arafat,  Muammar Gaddafi, etc.
