united arab republic

From 1976 to 2005, Syria occupied vast swathes of Lebanese territory with the approval of the Arab League and the West due to the backlash from the Lebanese Civil War. During this period, Hafez Assad repeatedly undermined Lebanese sovereignty and political autonomy, probably with the final goal...

This is an alternate timeline in which a bunch of conferences, treaties, wars, and other stuff that defined the Cold War are done differently (however unrealistic they may be), causing a snowball effect that would make the Cold War go very differently (and also very wacky). This is my first big...

According to former Vice President of Egypt, Abdel-Latif Al-Boghdadi, Nasser initially supported a federal union for the United Arab Republic. However the threat of a Communist takeover prompted him to support a total union under strict measures. Such measures such as the outlaw of all political...

During the brief time Nasser's United Arab Republic existed, there was a movement in Lebanon that advocated for uniting with the UAR, but it was quashed in 1958 after the United States intevened in the country. WI Washington didn't listen to president Camille Chamoun's plea for assistance for...

What if Jordanian king Hussein suffered the fate of his cousin, Faisal of Iraq, and was toppled by a military coup the same year (1958) that established a republic? Would keeping Suleiman Nabulsi, who pushed for closer ties with Nasserist Egypt, as prime minister (he was removed in 1957 after...

Disregarding how realistic or unrealistic a successful UAR would be, how powerful on the world stage would it be? Lets say it consists of Egypt, Sudan, Syria, Jordan, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Bahrain, Qatar, Oman and Yemen. Would the UAR have the possibility of becoming a new great power on...

There are a bunch of threads discussing how plausible and what PODs are needed for the United Arab Republic to survive, but AFAIK none about if the union could've survived a war against Israel, something that seems almost inevitable given the OTL Six-Day War and the Yom Kippur War. Assuming the...

Historically, the United Arab Republic was a short-lived union of Egypt and Syria formed and led by Gamel Abdel Nasser from 1958 to 1961 but what if Nasser was able to turn the UAR into a lasting federation of Arab states? What would it look like? How would it develop? What would its foreign...

Is it plausible for Saddam Hussein, perhaps through not pissing off the US too much, to become leader of a late UAR of sorts? How many Arab countries can he properly sweep under his wing? How would a "Husseinist" UAR differ from a "Nasserist" UAR?

What if the United Arab Republic can continue and become a superpower that is being negotiated with the Russians and the United States?

Is there a way the United Arab Republic could've lasted until our current time? If so, what would change nowadays? Would the Syrian civil war happen in the UAR? Would the coups in Egypt happen?
