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