Ba'athism In 1943 the Ba'ath Arab Socialist (Renaissance) Party was founded by Michel
Aflaq and Salah al-Din al-Bitar in Syria. It regarded all current borders as random results of Western
imperialism and had Arab unity as its central goal. This
nationalism was combined with a commitment to
socialism. Its ideological influence climaxed perhaps during the years 1958–61, when Egypt and Syria united to form the
United Arab Republic. The failure of this experiment shows that Ba'athism has been unable to finally overcome the national egotism of individual Arab states. None the less, the Ba'ath rhetoric of
pan-Arabism has remained highly influential, particularly in Syria and Iraq, where the Ba'ath Party is still the party of government.
