The Rise of Arab Nationalism and the Balfour Declaration
[ send me this paper ]
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.
