pan-Arabism

Pan-Arabism is a pan-nationalist ideology that advocates for the unification of all Arab people in a single nation-state, encompassing the Arab world from the Atlantic Ocean to the Arabian Sea. It originated in the late 19th century among the Arab regions of the Ottoman Empire and gained popularity in the 1950s and 1960s. Pan-Arabism is closely connected to Arab nationalism and has often been associated with Arab socialist principles and opposition to Western political involvement in the Arab world. Key figures in the development of pan-Arabism include Jurji Zaydan, who laid the intellectual foundation for the ideology, and Michel Aflaq, who combined elements of Marxist thought with nationalism to form the Arab Ba'ath Party.learn more on wikipedia
