My father worked in Egypt in 1959. The letters he wrote to my grandmother were all from the United Arab Republic so I grew up with the idea that the UAR of Syria and Egypt had lasted decades.
Up until 1973, many people in schools still referred to Egypt as the United Arab Republic. It wasn't until Egypt was kicked out of the Arab League that the term became totally unused.

There was a similar issue during the crusades, part of the reason it took the Arab world so long to kick the west out of Jerusalem wasn't necessarily because they couldn't beat them, but because a lot of the Arab leaders were too busy feuding with each other to properly deal with them.
That's pretty common in most conflicts later seen as a "clash of civilizations", really just individual leaders pursuing their own interests. Even during the crusades Catholic rulers, even with the Pope nominally in charge spent as much or more resources fighting each other in Europe than they did crusading.

It goes a little bit deeper than that, at least if you're talking about uniting Mexico, Central America, and S. America on the simple basis that we all speak Spanish. The conditions, history, culture, and development of these 3 areas is so different that a united government would be so inefficient as to perpetually be a state on the brink of collapse. Like, for Christ's sake, have you seen how bad our governments' track records are when they're governing the smaller nations we have now? I don't see that changing just because we decided to unite on the sole basis that we all speak Spanish and used to be Spanish colonies. That being said, Latin America could very much make use of a trading bloc like the European Union have so that we can't be bullied into unfair trade deals by bigger nations (*cough* USA *cough*), just without the one currency. (Yes, people, I know Brazil doesn't speak Spanish. And neither does Hati, Guyana, and etcetera, etc... But I'm talking about a premise where the Spanish speaking countries of Latin America unite, as I'm assuming that is what OP meant. After all, none of those other countries speak Spanish with a funny accent. They don't speak Spanish at all).

The Germans had the spectacular victory in the Franco-Prussian war of 1871 which cemented Prussia's position as the dominant German power and gave the German people a leader to rally behind. The Arabs had the 1967 Arab-Israeli war where they got wrecked and left with no clear leader.

I find it interesting that none of the proposed or attempted Pan-Arab states included the Arabian Peninsula itself. Could it be that the Saudis have no desire to unite with their Arab brothers (and have to share that oil bounty)?
Im sure thats a big part of it! It would surely be the same for Kuwait, UAE, Qatar, and Bahrain, etc as they all have petroleum wealth of varying magnitude.
The Saudi Arabian Royal Family was also seen as ... I don't know how to put it midly ... not so good by everybody else. Still isn't. But Money and so, you know? They are also a big factor in the destabilizing of some arabic Countries, founders of the whole "Wahabism"-Stuff which the Taliban, among others, used. A radical islamic belief system, for which they train Imans in Saudi Arabia and send them all over the place, they also having fun in Yemen and so on. The only halfway "normal" place in the Arabian Peninsula is probaly Oman, which mostly keeps to itself and probaly prays that they don't get discovered by their neighbours nor by anyone else as "profitable".
@@DaroriDerEinzige The biggest problem in the way the US perceived geopolitics in the WW2 and post WW2 era is that the Persian Gulf was seen as crucial for global stability. This was an error. It may have been essential to maintain control of PERSIAN oil in WW2, but Saudi Oil wasnt important at that point. Allowing them to form an oil cartel was one of the biggest mistakes of geopolitics in the history of the world. As far as that relates back to the parts of your comment that deal with the prosslatizing (phonetical pronunciation) (ie proselytizing), i totally agree with you: Saudi Arabia, the source of radical islamist wahabbism is a menace to the world, and probably should've been toppled long ago (in an ideal world). However, in our world where it is 'woke' to talk about 'first peoples' and 'preferred pronouns', the plight of those beheaded in Riyadh rates way down the list of priorities for the idiots in the West (and sadly im one of them).
@@wildec2 I agree with you to a certain extend although I wanna point out; Saudi Arabia was needed for the geopolitics as it is. Also, in the past we've seen what happens when the Saudis tried to "press" the West with their Oil - and it wasn't pleasant for them. Sure, they have now billions of Dollars, but power isn't defined by the wealth of the individuals. In the greater scheme, those conflicts in the near east were needed as a weak Africa is for a liberal capitalistic world order. Otherwise, Europeans would be forced to either trade fairly with certain parts of the world or even cooperate with other parts like Russia. Which would mean Europe would probaly become more independent and again focused on ourself. It hasn't really to do with "Woke-Culture" to be honest, that's more or less a trend primarly there to focus our attention on other things than "How does lobbyism destroy everything which is good here.". Especially Europe suffers under its weak leadership, Politicians don't have to fear anyform of consequences and their main goal - and here the Party doesn't matter - is to gain wealth for their own. Things like the Refugee Crysis could have been easily avoided if we wouldn't have intervened in those Regions as we did and destablizied them. Also, the arabic Spring was sold to us as something good; it wasn't though. The War against Terrorism? The name itself is already a PR Stunt. But the crux on the whole thing is, big Cooperations made big money with those conflicts and still do, while Humans suffering. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a Communist or anything like that - But personally I think the power should lay in the hands of a democratic State, which reforms and improves itself constantly and not in the Hand of some Cooperations which are mainly concerned with Profits. Long story short, yes - it wasn't a great decision to support Saudi Arabia in the way and form we did, but to this day it's needed for US Geopolitics. If we would wanna change that, we would've to step up and bring actually peace to some regions and change some things at home. We would've to stop to embrace mindless consumerism in order to be able to form a economical system in which labour gets fairly paid in Europe, and paid enough so that certain regions in Africa - for an example - can stabilize and develop themself. We've to stop to belief in US American Propaganda which serves the sole reason to shut you up and make you devout to a System which has mainly in mind to exploit you. Not everybody can become a Millionair, we all know that - But when the majority of wealth even in the west is concentrated on a few, it's time to wake up. We're, and you will find a great study in that regards from the Swiss - so no "Woke Culture"-Stuff in it - in regards to that, which states mathematically proven that we're (from the 1990's forward) the first Generation in History which will have less than their parents no matter how hard we'll work. That's an undeniable disgrace to everything Europe stand for - especially if we considering the fact that Europe expierenced one of its biggest economically growths in its History in the decades since the second WW. And I think, you don't have to be a "Leftie"/"Communist" or "Socialist" to be angry about that - But in many European states, there's simple no real "Middle" anymore, no real Conservatives. Because they got bought, they sold themselfs as the Social Democrats did - and until those things ain't broadly accepted and the people responsible for that development officially charged, we wont change european Politics I think.

Deciding a leader to rally around is definitely difficult, but I would usually see it as which of the countries has a richer economy, better infrastructure, more arms, a larger global reach and especially resources (which I assume they all have).

Good video, but it missed some points: 1) Indigenous non-Arab communities within the so-called 'Arab World', most notably Kurds and Berbers, among others, resisted Pan-Arabism for they saw, and rightly at that, that it would mean forced assimilation and would threaten their already precarious position in increasingly authoritarian and Arabo-centric states. 2) Many Arabic-speakers, especially amongst the Christians of Lebanon and Shi'is of Iraq, saw Pan-Arabism as a Sunni Muslim project, which, whether Pan-Arabists intended or not, was largely true. So, they also resisted pan-Arabist projects. 3) Finally, I think the video overestimates how committed Arab leaders were to Pan-Arabism. It must be remembered that most Arab governments were (and still are) filled with corrupt and autocratic elites to the brim. They payed lip service to Arab unity to satisfy the street, but they were never that serious about Pan-Arabism because they knew it would weaken their control in the long run.
@@yousir1254 You're right. I shouldn't have generalized so much. Many Shi'is and Christians (and even some non-Arabs, like the Chaldeans in Iraq, and some Kurds and Berbers) in Iraq, Lebanon and elsewhere were, and still are, fierce believers of Pan-Arabism. Although I doubt most of them envision the same sort of Pan-Arabism that was espoused by Ba'athists and others like them. Also by Pan-Arabism I mean the idea that all Arab-majority countries and regions should dissolve into one state. I don't think that's very popular nowadays, especially in countries with strong national identities, like Iraq, Egypt, and Lebanon.
One huge factor is a lot of Arabs did not see other Arabs as part one big ethnic group, in a similar vain to how Norwegians, Swedes, and Danes don't see themselves as one big ethnic group. Too many differences have accumulated up over 1300 years. And each Arab region mixed in a considerable amount of indigenous culture: Berber culture in the Maghreb, Ancient Egyptian culture in Egypt, Aramaic culture in Syria and Iraq etc.
Precisely! Arabs have never seen themselves as a singular ethnic identity, let alone as a national construct. Such an idea exists only in the fantasy of the Islamic Ummah, which will never happen. Even Muslims cannot agree amongst themselves as to what Islam is supposed to be, exactly.
There is no such thing as "Arabs" for 1300 years. This is ahistorical fantasy. Arabic wasn't even a spoken language for most of the region 200 years ago. Pan-Arabism refers to a cultural and linguistic connection between different ethnic groups. Arabs didn't "mix" with indigenous people, implying the Arabs in those countries today are not indigenous which is patently false.
The people were always in charge, but if you want to be an asshole then look to countries like the US and UK, where the people aren't in charge to begin with, then you'll realise you were a hypocritical asshole.
Pan-Arabism however has been dying over the last few years. As an Iraqi Arab I can safely say that Arab countries are trying to elaborate what distinguishes them over the other ones, rather than trying to find common causes and goals. Many factors contribute to this, but mostly is the Arab Spring consequences and the many proxy wars currently taking place in the region. Feel free to ask me anything regarding this matter..
@@kinanshmahell8065 In the modern world, unification isn't necessary. Even countries like the USA, Spain, etc. have internal divisions. And small countries can survive and thrive in the modern paradigm. There's no reason to go wide these days. Even the US which is mostly unchallenged, doesn't annex territory. Go tall. China is missing this lesson, and I think it will be its downfall.

After watching Band of Brothers again last night, it made me wonder about a topic you should do good sir. I thought about a question, “what did the general German population think of returning German soldiers after WWII and how did they interact?” I thought of it because I realized how well received WWII vets were and still are here in the states, I’ve always wondered how they were received elsewhere in the world
Well, 'returning German soldiers' were just half of the 'general German population', because every male between 16 and 60 who could walk was drafted. So in general they were just glad when their relatives returned at all and weren't in a mass grave in russia. Besides there was total destruction and starvation to be faced in post war germany. No time to reflect on patriotic sentiments.
As far as I'm aware (as a Dutch person), Germany's view on WWII is mostly "nazis are bad, don't even go anywhere NEAR being a nazi, and let's not think or talk about the war apart from that".
“what did the general German population think of returning German soldiers after WWII and how did they interact?” They were happy to see their fathers, brothers, sons?
Also the 1967 Arab-Israeli War took a lot of steam out of the pan-arabist engine, Egypt was probably the loudest advocate for union, with more conservative monarchies content with the status quo. The war would see Egypt thoroughly humiliated, however. Israel would take the entirety of the Sinai Peninsula, all the way to the Suez Canal, before returning it in exchange for recognition. The effect is twofold, Egypt loses their might and credibility among the Arab world, and Egypt and Syria's rapprochement with Israel meant forfeiting all claims and ambitions to conquer Israel.
You forgot about the 1973 Yom Kippur war where almost every Arab country participated in some way against Israel. But yeah the 1979 peace treaty definitely was a huge catalyst in all of this.

@Slavic Soldier which will never happen as you can trace the same amount of macedonians finding heritage in Serbian, Turkish or Greek roots. A language mutability has the same logic as asking Switzerland and Belgium to merge with any of neighbours because of similar language or joint history at some point in the middle ages. As far as the balkans are concerned, any proposal to redefine borders goes unfavored to whoever you ask and causes a domino effect that will shake the other countries that harbour interest to extend their borders. Even in an artificial future that macedonia and bulgaria join together it will end up as bad as yugoslavia the moment independence movement appears.

Apart from foreign influence, i think there is a geograpc barrier that prevents arabs from uniting too. For example egypt, yes it is big, it is crowded but people live only places that are next ot near to nile river, this reduces the arable land of mighty egypt to roughly the size of belgium. İmagine that 99 milion people live in an area as big as belgium. Or lets take iraq, they have euphraes and tigris but turkish dams created huge water shortages throughout the country. They are the most lush and arable arabic countries out of the rest. What i mean is, the arabic world might seem close yet they are far away from each other since they are scattered to rivers, oasises and valleys.
This, and since my younger age was my dream, to see all those countries under one flag. Although under a dictatorship regimes this is not achievable, a reason why I fought the tunisian dictator backthen in 2010 and put my life in at risk.

One thing we should probably note in this is that while Ottoman's were muslim they were culturally distinct from the arab world and often had mixed relations with its arab subject during the peek of ottoman power.
I wonder how different the world would be if many of these large collections of states had formed as a unified people and stayed that way. (USSR, Arab state, HRE, China, Rome, Byzantium, Ottoman Empire, etc..)
Unification in a nutshell. Country X: hey since we're very similar we should unite as one so we're stronger, richer, and better than our enemies that want to destroy us or influence us for their own gains. Country Y: agreed. Country Z: alright, but who is in charge? Country X: me. Country Y: no me. Country Z: no me. Rinse and repeat until they decide who is in charge or give up.
We know who the ruler is, but unfortunately the governments, some of them are traitors and agents of France, and you, spoilers of the nations (America), and some good ones are afraid of these agents, so they avoid unification.
Excellent video as always! I just like to add a bit more to what you said: on the 8th of February 1963, a coalition force of right-wing Ba'ath party supports and nationalists army officers staged a coup Against Iraqi prime minister Abdalqarim Qasim (He overthrew the Iraqi monarch on 14th of July 1958). Then a month later, on the 8th of march 1963, the Ba'athists in Syria staged a coup against Syrian President Nadhim al-Kudsi (the Ba'ath still rules Syria to this day). Talks of unification between Iraq, Syria and Nasser's Egypt broke out, and a flag was proposed similar to that of the UAR (The UAR had 2 stars, one for Egypt and one for Syria; its Syria's flag today). This new flag would have 3 stars (1 for Iraq 1 for Syria and 1 for Egypt-this became the Iraqi flag until the Ba'ath was overthrown in the 2003 Anglo-American invasion). Nasser, who backed the two coups, refused to unify. He explained himself to the other leaders by saying "You two guys are Ba'athists and I am not. I'm out".
Abd D. Challab Cute, really cute. Except the Ba’ath Party were explicitly left-wing. Nice try, but the evils of that regime can consigned to the side of the left, not the right.
@@Edmonton-of2ec Are you saying that a political party cannot have a right and left wings of its own? Look at today's labour party in the UK. The so-called New Labour is right, meanwhile the "Old" labour (i.e. labour of the 80s and Jeremy Corbyn) is left. Both are political wings of a left-leaning political party
Funny story : when Egypt refused to unite with Gaddafi s Lybia, he sent "protesters" tear down the borders posts. Of course, it was quickly quelled by the egyptian army.
And then there was this crisis between them , until boumediane of algeria went to tripoli and cairo and tell them to chill the fuck out and it was solved
Same thing with Iran and Iraq in algeries peace agreement, until boumediane was dead and saddam ignored it and went to war against iran , if boumediane was alive he would have skinned saddam alive for doing that

There was a similar issue during the crusades, part of the reason it took the Arab world so long to kick the west out of Jerusalem wasn't necessarily because they couldn't beat them, but because a lot of the Arab leaders were too busy feuding with each other to properly deal with them.
That's pretty common in most conflicts later seen as a "clash of civilizations", really just individual leaders pursuing their own interests.

It goes a little bit deeper than that, at least if you're talking about uniting Mexico, Central America, and S. America on the simple basis that we all speak Spanish.
The conditions, history, culture, and development of these 3 areas is so different that a united government would be so inefficient as to perpetually be a state on the brink of collapse. Like, for Christ's sake, have you seen how bad our governments' track records are when they're governing the smaller nations we have now? I don't see that changing just because we decided to unite on the sole basis that we all speak Spanish and used to be Spanish colonies.
That being said, Latin America could very much make use of a trading bloc like the European Union have so that we can't be bullied into unfair trade deals by bigger nations (*cough* USA *cough*), just without the one currency.
(Yes, people, I know Brazil doesn't speak Spanish. And neither does Hati, Guyana, and etcetera, etc... But I'm talking about a premise where the Spanish speaking countries of Latin America unite, as I'm assuming that is what OP meant. After all, none of those other countries speak Spanish with a funny accent. They don't speak Spanish at all).

I find it interesting that none of the proposed or attempted Pan-Arab states included the Arabian Peninsula itself. Could it be that the Saudis have no desire to unite with their Arab brothers (and have to share that oil bounty)?
Im sure thats a big part of it!
It would surely be the same for Kuwait, UAE, Qatar, and Bahrain, etc as they all have petroleum wealth of varying magnitude.
The Saudi Arabian Royal Family was also seen as ... I don't know how to put it midly ... not so good by everybody else.
Still isn't.
But Money and so, you know? They are also a big factor in the destabilizing of some arabic Countries, founders of the whole "Wahabism"-Stuff which the Taliban, among others, used. A radical islamic belief system, for which they train Imans in Saudi Arabia and send them all over the place, they also having fun in Yemen and so on.
The only halfway "normal" place in the Arabian Peninsula is probaly Oman, which mostly keeps to itself and probaly prays that they don't get discovered by their neighbours nor by anyone else as "profitable".
@@DaroriDerEinzige The biggest problem in the way the US perceived geopolitics in the WW2 and post WW2 era is that the Persian Gulf was seen as crucial for global stability. This was an error.
It may have been essential to maintain control of PERSIAN oil in WW2, but Saudi Oil wasnt important at that point.
Allowing them to form an oil cartel was one of the biggest mistakes of geopolitics in the history of the world.
As far as that relates back to the parts of your comment that deal with the prosslatizing (phonetical pronunciation) (ie proselytizing), i totally agree with you: Saudi Arabia, the source of radical islamist wahabbism is a menace to the world, and probably should've been toppled long ago (in an ideal world).
However, in our world where it is 'woke' to talk about 'first peoples' and 'preferred pronouns', the plight of those beheaded in Riyadh rates way down the list of priorities for the idiots in the West (and sadly im one of them).
@@wildec2 I agree with you to a certain extend although I wanna point out; Saudi Arabia was needed for the geopolitics as it is.
Also, in the past we've seen what happens when the Saudis tried to "press" the West with their Oil - and it wasn't pleasant for them. Sure, they have now billions of Dollars, but power isn't defined by the wealth of the individuals.
In the greater scheme, those conflicts in the near east were needed as a weak Africa is for a liberal capitalistic world order. Otherwise, Europeans would be forced to either trade fairly with certain parts of the world or even cooperate with other parts like Russia.
Which would mean Europe would probaly become more independent and again focused on ourself.
It hasn't really to do with "Woke-Culture" to be honest, that's more or less a trend primarly there to focus our attention on other things than "How does lobbyism destroy everything which is good here.".
Especially Europe suffers under its weak leadership, Politicians don't have to fear anyform of consequences and their main goal - and here the Party doesn't matter - is to gain wealth for their own.
Things like the Refugee Crysis could have been easily avoided if we wouldn't have intervened in those Regions as we did and destablizied them.
Also, the arabic Spring was sold to us as something good; it wasn't though.
The War against Terrorism? The name itself is already a PR Stunt.
But the crux on the whole thing is, big Cooperations made big money with those conflicts and still do, while Humans suffering.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not a Communist or anything like that - But personally I think the power should lay in the hands of a democratic State, which reforms and improves itself constantly and not in the Hand of some Cooperations which are mainly concerned with Profits.
Long story short, yes - it wasn't a great decision to support Saudi Arabia in the way and form we did, but to this day it's needed for US Geopolitics.
If we would wanna change that, we would've to step up and bring actually peace to some regions and change some things at home.
We would've to stop to embrace mindless consumerism in order to be able to form a economical system in which labour gets fairly paid in Europe, and paid enough so that certain regions in Africa - for an example - can stabilize and develop themself.
We've to stop to belief in US American Propaganda which serves the sole reason to shut you up and make you devout to a System which has mainly in mind to exploit you.
Not everybody can become a Millionair, we all know that - But when the majority of wealth even in the west is concentrated on a few, it's time to wake up.
We're, and you will find a great study in that regards from the Swiss - so no "Woke Culture"-Stuff in it - in regards to that, which states mathematically proven that we're (from the 1990's forward) the first Generation in History which will have less than their parents no matter how hard we'll work.
That's an undeniable disgrace to everything Europe stand for - especially if we considering the fact that Europe expierenced one of its biggest economically growths in its History in the decades since the second WW.
And I think, you don't have to be a "Leftie"/"Communist" or "Socialist" to be angry about that - But in many European states, there's simple no real "Middle" anymore, no real Conservatives.
Because they got bought, they sold themselfs as the Social Democrats did - and until those things ain't broadly accepted and the people responsible for that development officially charged, we wont change european Politics I think.

The most interesting things in history are never taught in school
Most things are left out in high school history cause it can't be covered in a span of 3 semester lol go to college if you want to learn history
@RED RED Its half a year worth of school as theirs about 6-8 different subjects so the school year is divided in 2 and you can focus on 3-4 subjects per semester.
They are, it's just no longer considered interesting cause now you're being forced to learn it. If we were forced to learn this instead, people would find the current curriculum interesting.
Maybe because history is never ending and there is a limit on history schooling?
We study this in High School in France. There is a whole chapter about the Middle East from the ottoman empire to the Iraq War
Deciding a leader to rally around is definitely difficult, but I would usually see it as which of the countries has a richer economy, better infrastructure, more arms, a larger global reach and especially resources (which I assume they all have). Piedmont drove the Italian unification and Prussia drove German unification for these same reasons.

Good video, but it missed some points:
1) Indigenous non-Arab communities within the so-called 'Arab World', most notably Kurds and Berbers, among others, resisted Pan-Arabism for they saw, and rightly at that, that it would mean forced assimilation and would threaten their already precarious position in increasingly authoritarian and Arabo-centric states.
2) Many Arabic-speakers, especially amongst the Christians of Lebanon and Shi'is of Iraq, saw Pan-Arabism as a Sunni Muslim project, which, whether Pan-Arabists intended or not, was largely true. So, they also resisted pan-Arabist projects.
3) Finally, I think the video overestimates how committed Arab leaders were to Pan-Arabism. It must be remembered that most Arab governments were (and still are) filled with corrupt and autocratic elites to the brim. They payed lip service to Arab unity to satisfy the street, but they were never that serious about Pan-Arabism because they knew it would weaken their control in the long run.

Many Shi'is and Christians (and even some non-Arabs, like the Chaldeans in Iraq, and some Kurds and Berbers) in Iraq, Lebanon and elsewhere were, and still are, fierce believers of Pan-Arabism. Although I doubt most of them envision the same sort of Pan-Arabism that was espoused by Ba'athists and others like them. Also by Pan-Arabism I mean the idea that all Arab-majority countries and regions should dissolve into one state. I don't think that's very popular nowadays, especially in countries with strong national identities, like Iraq, Egypt, and Lebanon.
2:32 "death time"
I love this channel
One huge factor is a lot of Arabs did not see other Arabs as part one big ethnic group, in a similar vain to how Norwegians, Swedes, and Danes don't see themselves as one big ethnic group. Too many differences have accumulated up over 1300 years. And each Arab region mixed in a considerable amount of indigenous culture: Berber culture in the Maghreb, Ancient Egyptian culture in Egypt, Aramaic culture in Syria and Iraq etc.
aramaic only in iraq plus ancient egyptian culture had already died out with the advent of hellenism you’re really naive
Precisely! Arabs have never seen themselves as a singular ethnic identity, let alone as a national construct. Such an idea exists only in the fantasy of the Islamic Ummah, which will never happen. Even Muslims cannot agree amongst themselves as to what Islam is supposed to be, exactly.
There is no such thing as "Arabs" for 1300 years. This is ahistorical fantasy. Arabic wasn't even a spoken language for most of the region 200 years ago. Pan-Arabism refers to a cultural and linguistic connection between different ethnic groups. Arabs didn't "mix" with indigenous people, implying the Arabs in those countries today are not indigenous which is patently false.
Ancient egyptian culture in modern egypt? I get what you're trying to say, but I feel like you're forcing in a few examples
Not to mention the countless tribes and tribal leaders
Who's in charge?
In the Arab World, not the people, that's for sure.
The people were always in charge, but if you want to be an asshole then look to countries like the US and UK, where the people aren't in charge to begin with, then you'll realise you were a hypocritical asshole.

Pan-Arabism however has been dying over the last few years. As an Iraqi Arab I can safely say that Arab countries are trying to elaborate what distinguishes them over the other ones, rather than trying to find common causes and goals. Many factors contribute to this, but mostly is the Arab Spring consequences and the many proxy wars currently taking place in the region.
Feel free to ask me anything regarding this matter..
Yes but I think unification on a smaller scale could be possible
@@kinanshmahell8065 In the modern world, unification isn't necessary. Even countries like the USA, Spain, etc. have internal divisions. And small countries can survive and thrive in the modern paradigm. There's no reason to go wide these days. Even the US which is mostly unchallenged, doesn't annex territory. Go tall.

Iraq has been in one big chaos since October. Protests and sit-ins were encountered by lethal force and over 700 people were killed so far plus thousands of injured and arrested. The government resigned few weeks ago and technically we don't have a constitutional government right now.

After watching Band of Brothers again last night, it made me wonder about a topic you should do good sir. I thought about a question, “what did the general German population think of returning German soldiers after WWII and how did they interact?” I thought of it because I realized how well received WWII vets were and still are here in the states, I’ve always wondered how they were received elsewhere in the world
Well, 'returning German soldiers' were just half of the 'general German population', because every male between 16 and 60 who could walk was drafted. So in general they were just glad when their relatives returned at all and weren't in a mass grave in russia. Besides there was total destruction and starvation to be faced in post war germany. No time to reflect on patriotic sentiments.
As far as I'm aware (as a Dutch person), Germany's view on WWII is mostly "nazis are bad, don't even go anywhere NEAR being a nazi, and let's not think or talk about the war apart from that".
“what did the general German population think of returning German soldiers after WWII and how did they interact?”

Also the 1967 Arab-Israeli War took a lot of steam out of the pan-arabist engine, Egypt was probably the loudest advocate for union, with more conservative monarchies content with the status quo. The war would see Egypt thoroughly humiliated, however. Israel would take the entirety of the Sinai Peninsula, all the way to the Suez Canal, before returning it in exchange for recognition. The effect is twofold, Egypt loses their might and credibility among the Arab world, and Egypt and Syria's rapprochement with Israel meant forfeiting all claims and ambitions to conquer Israel.
You forgot about the 1973 Yom Kippur war where almost every Arab country participated in some way against Israel. But yeah the 1979 peace treaty definitely was a huge catalyst in all of this.

Ever since it became independent Bulgaria has only bordered itself (her ethnic borders)
So is the moral of that quote that Bulgaria should strive to extend its borders?
@Slavic Soldier which will never happen as you can trace the same amount of macedonians finding heritage in Serbian, Turkish or Greek roots. A language mutability has the same logic as asking Switzerland and Belgium to merge with any of neighbours because of similar language or joint history at some point in the middle ages. As far as the balkans are concerned, any proposal to redefine borders goes unfavored to whoever you ask and causes a domino effect that will shake the other countries that harbour interest to extend their borders.
Even in an artificial future that macedonia and bulgaria join together it will end up as bad as yugoslavia the moment independence movement appears. Even if you create tito 2 to push for socialist and leftist rhetoric for equality, it falls apart the moment people consider why are they in a country learning about some turkic khans crossbreeding with cumans and tatars that pushed their entonym on the native slavic population to easily conquer it

Apart from foreign influence, i think there is a geograpc barrier that prevents arabs from uniting too.

Excellent video as always! I just like to add a bit more to what you said: on the 8th of February 1963, a coalition force of right-wing Ba'ath party supports and nationalists army officers staged a coup Against Iraqi prime minister Abdalqarim Qasim (He overthrew the Iraqi monarch on 14th of July 1958). Then a month later, on the 8th of march 1963, the Ba'athists in Syria staged a coup against Syrian President Nadhim al-Kudsi (the Ba'ath still rules Syria to this day).
Talks of unification between Iraq, Syria and Nasser's Egypt broke out, and a flag was proposed similar to that of the UAR (The UAR had 2 stars, one for Egypt and one for Syria; its Syria's flag today). This new flag would have 3 stars (1 for Iraq 1 for Syria and 1 for Egypt-this became the Iraqi flag until the Ba'ath was overthrown in the 2003 Anglo-American invasion). Nasser, who backed the two coups, refused to unify. He explained himself to the other leaders by saying "You two guys are Ba'athists and I am not. I'm out".
