Pan-Arab
Across all Arabdom
Pan-Arab describes the political and cultural movement advocating unity among Arab peoples and nations.
The ideology emerged in the early twentieth century, emphasizing shared language, history, and identity across the Arab world from North Africa to the Persian Gulf.
Pan-Arab sentiment fueled independence movements and briefly produced political unions like the United Arab Republic: Pan-Arab nationalism shaped Middle Eastern politics for decades.
