🌍 Global Context: After the surge of Arab nationalism in 1958, the next few years witnessed the decline of the Unified Arab Republic (UAR).

The UAR's Downfall (1961)

🚀 Key Event: UAR's formation was initially celebrated, but disillusionment set in especially in Syria.

  • Reasons for Discontent

    • Inferiority Complex: Syrians felt subordinate within the UAR.

    • Egyptian Dominance: The UAR government and military were majorly Egyptian-led.

    • Economic Discontent: Syrian elites were against Nasser's 'Arab socialism'. Why? Because it reminded them of the time:

      • Land reforms in Syria were dictated by Egyptians, resembling those in Egypt.

      • Syria's major industries & banks were nationalized.

    • Local Reaction: Though the general public was still pro-UAR, the elites were not. They felt the UAR was reducing Syria's prestige.

🎉 Fun Fact: Imagine you started a band with your best friend, but they tried to play your instrument and tell you how to play! That’s how the Syrians felt with Egypt in the UAR!

 

📅 1961 Event: Syrian army officers organized a coup, citing humiliation. Nasser's Egyptian forces didn’t intervene, hinting at Nasser's declining influence. Despite this, many Syrians still favored Arab unity.
