The Rise of Arab Nationalism and the Balfour Declaration :
An 8 page essay tracing the evolution of two of the Arab
states, Syria and Iraq, from the period just before World War I
through the end of World War II when Syria finally regained
full independence from France, the Allied nation appointed by
the League of Nations to oversee and assist the developing
countries of the mideast in recovering from the First World
War. France’s rule of Syria was oppressive, and did more to
bolster the Syrians’ commitment to Arab nationalism than to
win them over the France’s influence. Though Britain returned
rule and full independence to the Arab states of Transjordan and
Iraq as quickly as possible, only the prodding of the other Allied
forces of World War II and the fall of France convinced France
to withdraw from Syria. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Arab Nationalism / Why A Single, Unified Arab State Has
Not Yet Been Achieved : 7 pages in length. Despite the fact
that a single, unified Arab state has long been desired, the
ever-present distraction of nation-state patriotism and tribal
loyalties have remained the wedge that continues to defeat such
a quest. Arab nationalism is said to be at fault for this inability
to form a unified Arab state; however, there are those who
contend that there exist a combination of reasons behind this
ineffectualness. Not only does it have to do with Western
interference and narrow-minded Arab leadership, but it also has
a significant amount to do with the way that several
nation-states uphold their political and social contrarieties. A
considerable amount of critics believe that in order to achieve a
cohesive, single, unified Arab state, there must be an end to
violence and discord, as well as a move toward individual plans
of development and removal of the nationalistic ideal. The
writer discusses nationalism and unification as they relate to the
Arab states. Bibliography lists 6 sources. ArabNat4.wps
