ARAB NATIONALISM as an ideology and as a factor in Middle Eastern politics is a recent development. It was hardly
known before the beginning of the twentieth century, and it was only after the First World War (that is, after the setting up of
Iraq, Palestine, Syria, and the Lebanon as mandated territories under British and French rule) that a comprehensive doctrine of
Arab nationhood was elaborated. Thereupon, politicians in Iraq and Syria, enjoying a measure of independent action and able to
exploit the rivalries of the Great Powers in the Middle East, began to attempt the creation of a state which would embrace
the whole of the "Arab Nation."
